Re: 4 inputs for mbox2
First, you should be asking in the LE forum, as the mBox2 is an LE interface. This forum is for Pro Tools MPowered, the PT software that runs on M-Audio hardware.
Second, to use all four inputs of the mBox2, you will need an additional A/D converter to connect to the S/PDIF digital input. There are a multitude of them, and you would have to choose one that meets your needs. (Line ins? Mic Pres? etc etc)

Re: 4 inputs for mbox2
Here is my attempt.. I am gonna brush off dust on my my Roland VS 880. In case 21st Century has forgotten about this unit. It was a portable 8 Track 20 bit digital recorder - all in one. it has 2 GIG harddrive. and uses propriotery audio format that you really can't "download" it does have a SPIF/IO.
My MBox has SPDIF i/o... so in theory in addtion to the built in 2 XLR/TSR input, I can route the VS-880' output to MBox's digital in.. and I will end up 4+ tracks.. I am not sure how many tracks digital I/O can shoot. I probably have to juggle the input settings in PTLE to make it recognize the addtional input. If anyone has tried this ,,,or similar method please post. ghj

Re: 4 inputs for mbox2
You are right MBox 1 allow you to choose Analog or S/PDIF .. I was not able to choose both of them simultaneously.

Re: 4 inputs for mbox2
mbox 2 : 4 inputs are possible...
however, i have yet to hear any real world experience with this.. mbox 1: 2 inputs is the maximum possible.. must choose spdif or analog in
