My experiences with the Mbox were, unfortunately, not very positive.

Yes, it sounds great and, yes, it works perfectly... with Protools.

No, it didn't work well with Logic in OS9, not even with a 3rd party driver.

In OSX it sometimes worked ok with buffer settings of no lower than 512 
or 1024, IIRC. But usually not - I was plagued by distorted sound, as if 
the gain had increased by 300%. The Digidesign coreaudio driver doesn't 
have a great reputation.

Or should I say "didn't"...? All may be well by now. Dunno, cos I got 
tired of having no audio, and have been very happy for the last few 
months with a MOTU 828mkII.

Fortunately, you've already got an Mbox, so you're in a position to try 
it out for yourself. :-)

Good luck with the projects! :-)
