Well for the price I was pretty happy to buy the M-Box that came with the Pro Tools light version of the software (you still get 32 tracks). I found it realativley easy to learn (I stayed away from reading the manual as it was too confusing, but there were some really infomative websites that hepled me learn it fast and bypassed a lot of crap). I bought the M-Box and the software for $635.00 Canadian at Long & McQuade in Toronto. Don't know what that translates in Amreican funds. Anyway, it got me started off real nice.
