MBox 2 Pro – Update – Hardware Profiles
Continuing our MBox 2 Pro and ProTools software discussion, my laptop configuration is a Pentium M 1.7Ghz with 1.5GB RAM and a 100GB 7200rpm hard drive.
The MBox tech support rep had me turn off several devices in order to get the software to run reliably. Naturally, it made sense to setup a hardware profile for MBox recording.
Such devices as network card, wireless adapter, and the Sigma-Tel sound card are all disabled. Then, rather than having to manually unload the Trend Micro anti virus I went into the services applet and disabled the Trend Micro services for the MBox profile under the “LogOn” tab.
That leaves me to manually shut down the BOClean anti trojan software, the Second Copy software and couple others like that, and then we’re ready to start recording.
Simplifies the boot process and helps make sure we don’t forget to shut something down and have recording crash – right near the end, of course.
Digidesign Mbox 2 Pro Factory Bundle is what we bought.
