Do you need Pro Tools Hardware to run LE

[protram]

Is it possible to run Pro Tools LE without using the pro tools hardware?

Also is it posible too just buy pro tools LE.

l have been using pro tools free and would like more tracks and was wondering if l could just buy pro tools le or do l have to buy the digi001 which is 2400$ australian. mbox is in my price range but l dont have a mac.

Cheers

you cant run PT LE without digi harware... what you might consider buying is the audiomedia III soundcard. it gives you 2 analog i/o and 2 spdif i/o. can run on PC or Mac (in case you switch later like i did) and will run PT LE. i dont know how much it will cost but i got mine used for 300, it was new for 700 or 800 i think (canadian)
