This is the top of the line edition with all features, some mods, and free lifetime updates. There are other versions with less features, so you may want to take a look at them and decide which one better meets your needs.

You're welcome. Sorry it was a short answer. I was in a hurry. One thing I wanted to mention is that (unless I overlooked something), I don't think you can save fills in the beats that you create yourself.

I'm not familiar with Behringer myself, but I've owned two M-Audio Interfaces: an earlier model which I gave to a friend (still working today) and then this M-Track2 Model. The quality in both product and recording is unsurpassable in the price range. M-Audio makes a solid product that is easy to use and (in my opinion) a very professional looking piece of equipment. I used Audacity, the M-Track2, and the MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, to record some vocals and then imported the files into FL Studio. Without any effects or touch ups, the vocals came out clean, thick, and crisp. I use a pop filter too, but regardless, I love M-Audio products. Hope this helps some? Lol I go on rants and don't know if I actually say anything useful.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

As far as sound quality goes, its awesome. The part where it lags is on on muliti track recording. I say this because you can't record seperate tracks individually like you can on a digital recorder. You can run 6 drum mics, guitar cab, bass, and vocals and whatever else in simultaneously and be fine but they are all going yo be down to left or right channels. You can go back and add overbubs with no problem but if you everything on its own channel so you can go back in and protools it, its not gonna be so easy. But for what I use it for it is an awesome unit and I highly recommend it for recording practices and shows. If you are trying to make a good HQ demo, get a tascam or something similar.

Actually, this is an error on Amazon. It does not come with Pro Tools Express, it comes with Ableton Live Lite, and Ignition software. If you wanted to use EZdrummer, you should not have any problems.

Hey guys, so alexander miller was actually right. You can upgrade to version 10 for free you just need to follow the instructions alex gave above. I hastily returned it though without realizing. Yes, this is a good deal but I ended up getting just the mbox 3 without the full version of pro tools since I've yet to even open pro tools lol. (Still doing everything in ableton live)

This is pretty much the industry standard - Express is bundled with Mbox so its a good deal - but it is time consuming to set up - your choice of microphone will really determine the sound for your guitar and vocals - if you are on a budget I would recommend the Behringer B1 or something similar.

yes indeeed... though i recommend getting the ableton push it is the new and better version so to speak... even a novation launch pas i hear is better... and cheaper.. hope this helped :)

DSP version has studio monitor emulation feature for headphone mixing, which is pretty cool. This is the version I have. Apart from that, they are exactly the same. I'd say get DSP. No reason to pay more for less. Looks like this one is sold through Proaudiostar, and the other is direct through amazon. Different sellers would account for different pricing, probably.

Bernadette, I don't have this particular item, but own TC Electronics VoiceLive Touch Vocal Effects Processor and plug my iphone/ipod into it, connect to an amp, connect the TC Electronics Vocal Microphone MP-75 Dynamic Microphone, Super-Cardiod to it and sing along with my own tunes. My friends and I have a blast with the different voice settings. I am no pro by any means, this was all in the name of having fun. Have not tried connecting my computer yet, to try and access my itunes account. Initially, I was looking for something for my computer, but stumbled onto this and have no regrets.

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

I don't use Pro Tools but the quality is outstanding. Really the only gripe I do have is that the headphone volume uses the same knob as the monitor volume. Having said that I have no regrets about this purchase. Check the Pro Tools site for compatability and if all is well then go for it. You can always return this unit if you have buyers remorse. As for playing metal it retains the harmonics of distorted guitars quite well.

The are both the same crappy MP3 format!! If you care about audio quality you will use Apple Lossless. The trouble is this prevents you from D/L Songs or Albums. The best way is to buy the CD and rip it to iTunes. You can change the format you rip it in "Preferences" on iTunes....Import...format. You can however go to HDtracks.com and get great Audio Quality D/L's although their selection is not probably what you are looking for and more expensive than just buy the CD. Magoo I know D/L is convenient but it returns horrible quality!!!!! Take any CD you know very well and rip a song or two to iTunes in Apple LossLess. Then D/L that same song(s) and you should be able to easily hear the difference! If you just want background noise then continue to D/L the MP3's. Life is all about priorities!!! Magoo
