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.

Which is a better product mbox2 factory pro or fruity loops studio fl studio?

Mbox2 factory is a hardware/software bundle including an Mbox 2 and Pro Tools LE. FL Studio is a software digital audio workstation/sequencer program. Comparing Pro Tools LE to FL Studio is the question you should be asking. The answer to this question depends of what your goals and needs are. Generally FL Studio has a more flexible and faster work-flow compared to Pro Tools. On the other had Pro Tools is somewhat of an industry standard in recording studios. If you need to collaborate with existing professional studios then Pro Tools may be a better choice. Specifically both programs are capable of the same or similar functions, such as audio-recording, hosting VST plugins, sequencing, mixing etc. FL Studio performs these functions at a fraction of the price of Pro Tools. Interestingly, while pro-tools is considered pro it has a maximum output resolution of 24 bit while FL Studio has 32 bit float.


In pro tools 7.3.1 why does it start recording good and recording bar shows that it is recording and then when stopped a error pops up and recording does not save?

In Pro Tools 7.3.1 if the recording starts but then stops due to an error message there is an issue with the software. Try closing out the program and restarting it. If this does not resolve the issue contact Pro Tools support.


What do you need to build a home recording studio?

That really depends on what you want to record? Are you recording a 4-piece band? Simple hip hop with one vocalist? Electronica?, since each of those require drastically different gear. At bare minimum, you can get a computer, a copy of Reason, and a USB Mic and you're done! But it would be good to expand that bare basic setup with a better audio interface, a multi-channel mixer, a good DAW (recording software like Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase etc).
