I'm still waiting to see when the 004 comes out.. Hopefully it has a better selection of I/O. I'm not really interested in their mic pre's. I would just like to be able to record my kit at 96k, and I use anywhere from 8-14 mics..

I'd prefer they also used MADI as well.. that would open up a lot of options for users.

.. that would open up a lot of options for users.

Isn't that what HD's supposed to be for? more options = more money...

Not that I appreciate the marketing strategy but it's what I learned about Digi/Avid so far.

004 coming in january...at 96k..mbox 3 now will have the same pre's as a 003.

Where did you find that out?

Cant wait..

Def very interesting. Man hope they come out with something that trumps the 003. :)

Doesn't take much to get people excited.
Will more than likely just be rebranding no real improvements should be expected on the mBox 2 or 003.

They need to make the products say AVID instead of Digidesign.
