Again thanks, it's starting to make sense. The limiting factor is the software, not so much the interface. Available drivers allow me run protools up to 11 with a MacPro using my MBox2Pro but no MacPro will run LE8. I need to first decide what version of ProTools I want and then get the computer/OS Avid recommends for that version. I think 10 would be comfortable, beyond sufficient for my needs and peachy. I've found the compatibility charts and can do all of that. You've been a great help.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to buy it, transfer it, license it, get the installer, create an ilock account and the rest of it. Getting amazing work done on a variety of projects is the easy part but this stuff, not so much.
