Question about the Mbox Micro

[jpoprock]

Hey all. I have a question about the Micro that I can't seem to find clarification on. My apologies if I didn't catch the answer when I did a DUC search.

I know the Micro doesn't have an input for recording. But surely that doesn't mean that you can't record arm a track and re-amp tracks, or things like that right? Just because you can't send signal to PTLE, doesn't mean that you can record internally right?

I want one of these things for mixing away from the studio. I'm also considering the Mbox Mini, since it's not that much more, and gives me a "just in case" option for recording. I'd rather find one used to be honest. Actually, any Mbox will do if I only want the ability to launch PTLE and mix. I won't be doing it on a laptop though. It will be another Mac at a different location, so providing power to an Mbox of some kind is no problem for me.

Thanks!
Jason
