Without installing Pro Tools, you can download the Windows driver for the Mbox 2 at the avid.com website. You can then select the Mbox 2 as the audio input and output device for FL Studio.
No, there is not a shortcut available for burning a CD from your saved files on an Mbox 2 from Pro Tools.
Any mbox. M-Powered is made specifically for M-Audio gear.
Check the manual for compatibility.
Mbox 2 Pro has more inputs.
Yes only protools 9 doesnt need an mbox.
You need to turn on record and increase the input gain.
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.
The Line6 UX2 is compatible with ProTools 9. ProTools 8 and previous versions are only compatible with Avid hardware (Mbox and Digi interfaces).
Amazon has retailers which sell the Mbox 2 pro and also e-bay which sell many products from various sellers, however you do need to be vigilant and check their sells history and rating.
