Re: Trying to find best Audio Interface for Pro Tools
The current 003 series should have MIDI ports, I believe but am not entirely certain the Mbox2 Pro has a Midi port. My advice is to buy a interface that supports your Input/output needs and then if need be buy a MIDI to USB converter.
Having gone the Original Mbox to 002 route I suggest a FW interface, 002, 002R, 003, 003R, Mbox2 Pro. The 002 series is discontinued but can be found used. I was never satisfied with my Mbox, My 002 is what I should have bought in the first place.
The 003's offer the most inputs and the 003 offers a control surface. The 003 will function as a standalone MIDI controller for a variety of Apps. You would have read the specs to find out if it works for Final Cut Express or Soundtrack. I know its supposed to work with LOGIC.
