Default MBox 2 On Mac pro tower no "system Pref control panel"?

I was using sound studio with my Mbox 2 on my old G5 mac tower. Just upgreaded to a Mac Pro tower, (intel). I don't use protools, (no offense,) But now I can't find the "Mbox 2 control panel" in the system preference pane.

the digi website is a bit confusing to me. Does anyone know exactly what I need to reinstal and where I get the "driver" or Mbox 2 control panel? I'm not looking to use pro tools as it's over kill for home VO recordings etc.

thanks in advace,

Herov

You need to download and install the standalone CoreAudio driver which is available from the Digi site.

Question Re: MBox 2 On Mac pro tower no "system Pref control panel"?

Thanks Phil.

I actually installed the full 7.4 Pro tools LE since I was eligible to do so but have not run the program. I'd actually like to unistall the protools and then just install the core software you mention. I'm assuming that will be the slimmest way to use the Mbox 2 on my system without having to deal with Pro tools being involved.

Does that sound about right?


Again, thanks,

Herov

Default Re: MBox 2 On intel Mac Pro Tower Running 10.6.2 Need help and or dirver?

Hey Phil,

You still out there?

Here's my question. I'm now on an intel Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.2

months ago I lost the ability to simply run my mic through my Mbox2. I don't use pro tools to advanced for me Just the mbox2 and a blue baby bottle mic.

What driver do I now need so that I can use the mbox2 and the blue mic together. I use sound studio, (no offense to protools just way less complicated for my home V.O. needs.)

Can anyone post a link to the driver or other plug-in I need so that I can get back up and running on the mbox2?

Thanks in advance and happy holidays to all!

Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no stand-alone core audio driver for Snow Leopard. The only way to get the driver is to have the full Pro Tools installer.
