Here's a good news about the new Digidesign MBox USB 2 : the Mbox 2 is a native Core Audio device, so it does not need the Core Audio Manager Application. So you can run Pro Tools LE and other CoreAudio applications simultaneously. The Mbox 2 will always work this way.
But please remember that the Original Mbox, Digi 002, and HD will never work this way and will always require the CoreAudio Manager...

Apple sent Tuesday to media and industry members an invitation to a special event, which will take place at the California Theatre in San Jose on October 12 at 09:00 AM. The invitation simply reads: "One more thing...", a phrase used by iPod maker Steve Jobs to indicate a surprise product at keynote presentations. According to several sources, Apple may be preparing to introduce a new version - again - of its iPod with video capabilities, or/and more probably new PowerBook or PowerMac G5 systems.| Post a comment ? |
