Default Re: New Mbox 2 micro!!!!!......

I do completely understand the need to differentiate LE from HD. That is a perfectly valid reason for some of the constraints (although I think the DV Toolkit is ridiculously overpriced). However, the ability to edit without the hardware is kind of a separate issue, since it pertains to both versions, and it is something that the competition has always had. Its really not a "feature" at all.

The only reason I'm so choked about this whole thing is because I think Pro Tools is excellent and I just get so frustrated with how Digi handles it sometimes.

I just hope that it comes with a usb extender cable - I plug my flash drives, iloks, and wireless internet reciever directly into my computers and lappies - but if I were to plug some headphones into that and be moving around, it'd be an accident waiting to happen.



and for the record.... ITS ABOUT TIME THEY MADE THIS

News Flash: Sweetwater is taking orders for Mbox Micro for only $249.

As I mentioned before: Assuming you get the upgrade to 7.4, it really only costs $174 for the dongle since the upgrade costs $75.

Thats a very valid point about the pricing. If you are going to upgrade anyway then the cost of the micro is now under $200. BUT! if that is part of your reason for the purchase I would stress that you wait until 7.4 is released and then make the micro purchase to guarantee you get the 7.4 upgrade. Its just an opinion from a newbie but if the upgrade grace period is say 1 month and some weird problem occurs and the release of 7.4 is delayed... oh and is the upgrade price really $75? Is that price for versions under 7? I thought the upgrade from 7.3 to 7.4 was $50.

I belive to 7.3 to 7.4 upgrade price is only 50.00. the full stand alone 7.4 upgrade is the 75.00.

My Mini should arrive today. I would be bummed if 7.4 was released late but I'm sure it will ship when expected.

The Mini is actually VERY hip (2nd I have bought).

The Micro should make a lot of people happy too.

I would like to see either a Micro-Mini or a Macro-Micro for sale at some point.

Or a notebook with 8 XLRS
