mixer to replace mbox or work with mbox, for simulataneous..

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Well you can either buy a mixer (Mackie or whatever) and mix everything
in the analog realm, treating the MBox as a 2-track recorder in which
case you will not be able to change levels or process tracks
individually after the recording....

or....

You can upgrade to a Digi002R unit (assuming you want to stick with
ProTools) which lets you get 8 separate tracks into ProTools at once
which you can process individually after the recording, as well as
messing with levels and panning and stuff. You might still need a mixer
as the Digi002R only has 4 mic inputs, so if you want more mic inputs,
you'll need either a mixer or outboard mic preamps as well.

Cheers,
