There is no Eleven standalone version, and it is a pro tools plugin only. So I was thinking of this. I could buy a used mbox or a cheap interface for the pc and use it to install pro tools on it. Then I could get myself the plugin which is significantly cheaper to play guitar with at home and enjoy the same great tones with the 11R.
Am i talking complete nonsense here? Can I achieve low latency with a cheap pro tools interface?
What are the pros and cons of M-audio m-powered compatible interfaces? Can the mbox be used as an external soundcard when connected and installed or is it strictly an interface for protools unlike the m-audio cards?
thanks

The eleven LE plugin, and the Eleven rack, use the EXACT same DSP algorithms (as stated by digidesign). The ONLY difference is the True -Z input matching which you can live without. Keep a watch on your CPU though if you go with the plugin, it can use up to 25 percent on an i7 system!
Buy an Mbox mini, Its got 2 DI ins, and 1 mic pre. Great for just guitar stuff.
Although something just hit me, by the time you buy an Mbox and the Eleven LE plugin, youd have spent over 800 dollars. There are places where you can get an eleven rack for under 700. Why not go for it? It sounds great, got 8 ins and outs, AND ITS
