Default Question about simultaneous inputs on mbox 2 pro

Hey guys,

Im pretty new to pro tools as i own a boss 16 track recorder but when i can afford it il be getting an mbox interface and getting into pro tools LE. Just have a query with how the simultaneous inputs work.. With the Mbox 2 Pro, it says 6 inputs for simultaneous recording, but only the 2 x 1/4" input jacks on the front have the knobs to control the input level/sensitivity.

How to you control the input level of the other 4 inputs?

Also, (this will be much clearer when i finally get Pro Tools) when you get 6 inputs recording simultaneously, does pro tools automatically put them into 6 separate tracks? I really should wait till i get it but its playing in my head and i just want to clear this up now.

Thanks guys!

With mbox 2 pro you have: input 1, input 2, aux input (stereo), spdif input. All inputs except spdif adjustable (look at the knobs at the front of mbox).

You should assign each track input in PT to corresponding hardware input.

So how do you adjust the AUX input? Say your using the 2 front inputs, which have there own control knobs, and the AUX input.

Thanks heaps for that by the way!

Use "Aux In" knob at the front

k, mbox pro is switchable between the DI input(ont the front of the box)1 and 2. the XLR connections are on the back sharing channel 1 and 2 when switched. both channels have separate input controls and effect the switched(DI or mic). these controls disable the pre when turned to zero. channels 3 and 4 are 1/4 inch bal/unbal shared by the same input control i believe. channel 5 and 6 are spdif in. (meaning you must have a spdif card on your channels strip or pre etc....in order to use all of the inputs simultaneously. in PT you can record all 6 at once and /or assign to different tracks.. cheers...

Default Re: Question about simultaneous inputs on mbox 2 pro

Hi all,

I bought a MBOX 2 Pro recently and I´m a little bit confused how to use 6 inputs simultaneously (without using spdif inputs). Is it possible?
I´ve already used inputs 1&2 (XLR) and also inputs 3&4 (AUX), both are on the back of interface. So, in total I´m currently using 4 inputs. My question is, Can I use inputs 1&2 (DI) to get 6 inputs simultaneous?

Best Regards.

Alan Macieira
