im tired of relying on other unreliable cats to do music with lol...so i was thinking of getting an mbox mini...but after talking it over with one of my homies, he said he doesnt feel the mbox is the best option even on a small budget..he said im better off going with an m-audio fast track, and getting a decent pre-amp if im wanting to use pro-tools...he said the other option would be to use something else, such as cubase for example, and just buy an overall better soundcard for around 500$ (i forget the model he showed me)...any thoughts on this, any help?
