M Box 1 and Pro Tools LE ver 6.1 with win 7 fail!
Hi
I've just bought a second hand M Box1 and tried installing the software. I am aware (because it didn't install last night) that the software isn't compatible with Windows 7 which is a pain as I don't have a laptop with Windows XP. I have two questions 1. Is there a workaround to get it working with Windows 7? 2. Will a later (version 8) copy of Pro Tools LE work with Mbox 1? and a third does any one have any bright ideas - i'm reluctant to spend money on a secondhand laptop until I'm happy that the software and the box are worth it for what I want - which is recording our band rehearsals, and some home recording to see how I'm playing. I've borrowed a couple of studio mikes for a week or so to test it all out. thanks a lot from a newbie! Nick |

You're pretty much screwed. I bought a second hand Mobile Pre MK1 the other week only to find out it did have Windows 7 drivers but they were completely bug ridden.
These old interfaces just aren't supported any more unfortunately. I just bought a Focusrite 2i2 though and I must say it is MILES ahead in terms of the drivers, features and looks. Quality item. |

Pro Tools 8.01 will work and was the last version that supported the original mbox. I was using it around 2 years ago on a laptop computer and it worked well.
