Yes, you can. I am using it with M-Audio Profire interface. Version 7 and 8 requires you to use M-Powered, Versions 9 and newer require full versions
You don't need a MIDI controller, but you will need the M-Audio USB or Firewire audio interface that it shipped with.
Yes. I operate Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4.2 with an M-Audio fast track pro which is a USB interface.
Pro Tools LE (up to version 8.0) will only work with Avid (Digidesign) hardware, ie. MBox, Digi 002, 003 etc. Pro Tools M-Powered works with approved M-Audio USB and Firewire audio interfaces, not the USB microphones. It is not possible to use multiple USB or Firewire audio devices in Pro Tools LE or M-Powered.
Lambda audio/midi interface was made for Cubase LE and is not compatible with Pro Tools. Now with Pro Tools 9 saying it supports any previous interface, I'm not sure. I have not updated from 8 to 9 yet. So if you plan on using pro tools 8 or earlier than no it is not.
Yes for Logic. Pro Tools requires its own interface
Plug the left and right audio outputs into your audio interface.
A USB Mixer is an audio mixer with a built-in USB audio interface. It is sometime better than a stand-alone interface since you can plug in more microphones and instruments at once. They usually get mixed to a stereo mix, so it isn't possible with most of these mixers to track a drum kit or other instrument that requires a lot of mics and individual tracks. You can't use a USB mixer with Pro Tools 8. Pro Tools LE 8 only works with the MBox and the Digi 002/003 hardware from Avid. Pro Tools M-Powered 8 works with M-Audio USB and Firewire audio interfaces. If you want to run Pro Tools 9 (the current version), you can use any USB mixer that has ASIO (PC) or Core Audio (Mac) drivers.
You dont need any interface. PtoTools 9 runs on any audio device, including the built-in sound in you computer.
You need a microphone and an interface, and creativity. Make new audio track, press record and start playing.
To record its sound, connect the left and right audio outputs to the line inputs on your M-Audio interface. Add a stereo audio track and then press record.
Full version of Pro Tools works with just iLok
Pro Tools is only usable in the home with specific hardware from Avid (Digidesign, M-Audio) or the new Mackie Onyx mixers. Examples are the Digi 003 (Firewire), M-Audio Audiophile 192 (PCI) or M-Audio Fast Track (USB). All of these options include MIDI in and out, and will be automatically recognized within Pro Tools.
