Recording
I have been used to Tascam 800 where Just recording myself I could start/stop by press of footswitch. This is not possible with the MBOX Studio or Pro Tools Studio at this time. Avid say’s it is in the works but I have been waiting since January. I got rid of the Tascam 800 before finding this out. I feel like I have wasted my time and money here. Had such high hopes. Maybe someone has a solution and could point me to it.

Re: Recording
This is also a good reason to use auto-punch. If you are new to that, its really simple. Enable pre-roll(I like 2 bars), place the cursor at the exact spot where you want recording to kick in and hit F12. Playback will start with your set pre-roll and recording will drop in where the cursor was placed. There's more to it, but that's the simplest breakdown. If this might be your solution, hit youtube and search for videos on the feature to see the rest of the details. BTW, I'm in a similar boat and currently am using a Presonus Faderport V2 with neyrinck's V-Control Pro software and it works great
Another method: Go to Prefs and check the box for auto-create a new playlist when loop recording>select the portion of audio you wish to replace and cut it>put up another track>put this new track into record-ready(with Loop Recording set)>swipe across the timeline to include all the blank, plus some pre-roll. Enter record and keep playing the part until you know you have a good take. Then copy/paste back onto the original track, add some cross-fades and delete the temp recording track

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already paid a lot for the MBox Studio and Pro Tools Studio and do not think I should have to pay $200 more to be able to do what Avid put the ability to do on previous units and do not understand why something as simple as having Start/Stop is not available with the press of a foot switch. Also do not understand why it should be so hard to put that capability in their products.

Re: Recording
Thank you, I will give it a try. To me this method is like setting a timer on a camera mounted on a tripod and running to get into the scene before it occurs.
I still have to ask how hard is this to put the footswitch capability in and why something as useful and generic as this is, why was it left out of an expensive (for me and other’s like me) interface as the MBox Studio. I have been waiting 6 months. It is disheartening.

I actually used the foot-switch for years until I started messing with the way you mention. I actually prefer that method now. I don't have to worry about missing the down beat on the punch and feet free with the pre-roll is awesome.

Re: Recording
Yeah I totally understand.
At work I train new hires on shortcuts instead of mouse moving all over place. They are all used to old school habits. I tell them to do it really slow and the speed come naturally.
