Digidesign 在 NAMM 樂器展發表以 USB 為界面的硬碟錄音產品 Mbox Portable Studio。其訂價只要不到美金 $500，對想用 ProTools 又不想花大錢的人來說是不錯的選擇，特別是上面已有 mic preamp、 SPDIF 數位傳輸 、Plug-Ins 等，又可以用在手提電腦。 但Digidesign 不知為何選用 USB 而不是 Firewire，算有點奇怪，又或許是同時輸入、輸出的軌數少而選較低階的規格吧！ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Entirely USB-powered, Mbox includes two TRS (1/4")/XLR analog inputs--featuring Focusrite mic preamps and 48V phantom power--as well as 24-bit stereo S/PDIF digital I/O. Ergonomic front-panel gain knobs and a source selection switch allow for quick, discretionary control. Two analog inserts and zero-latency monitoring provide on-and outboard flexibility. Output is facilitated by both 1/8" and 1//4" headphone jacks with dedicated volume control, and via two 1/4" analog rear-panel jacks. Pro Tools 5.2 LE ships with every Mbox unit and includes support for DigiStudio, a revolutionary new way to collaborate with other Pro Tools users via the Internet. DigiStudio participants interact from any Net-connected location to exchange Pro Tools session media, from raw audio tracks to MIDI data to plug-in information to automation. Previously available only with Pro Tools|24 MIX systems, DigiStudio literally opens up access to a planet of talent and a world of new opportunities. Mbox is expected to ship Spring 2002,and will carry an MSRP of $495 (USD). The initial release will be Mac-only with Windows-compatibility to follow shortly. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
ah..我對 USB Audio 東東真係沒什好感...... 希望 Digidesign 會好一點吧.. 還有的就是新的 ProTools System, ProTools|HD 新的 Plugins Format "HTDM"
我覺得使用usb1.0只是能同時錄製聲音的軌數少了一點，而那條usb線只是傳送數位訊號而已，並不會對聲音有太大的影響，重點是那一個盒子裡的電路設計的如何？編碼和解碼晶片及輸入的接頭所使用的 鰹々峓A所使用的軟體﹔和最重要的一點：你的功力。 我想你給一個資深錄音師普通的器材所錄出來mix出來的東西，應該比你用百萬設備mix的還好。
