M Audio Blackbox

[Mkf411]

Anybody using one of these for computer recording. I'm considering one of these or the Line6 toneport. I like the built in drum beats on the Blackbox, but I wasn't too impressed with their amp models. If I get the toneport what can I use to get drum tracks?

I owned the BB, sold it and have a Toneport which I think sounds better - I run/ran both through a tube amp though. There are lots of options for drums if you're using a computer to record, also lots of stand alone boxes.

The BB needs some work from M-Audio before I would consider it again.

Thanks. So with the toneport, does it come with software to lay down tracks?

It comes with Ableton Lite 4.x which I think only gives you 4 audio tracks and some midi tracks. If your computer is fast and has enpugh ram you can run the drums as midi sequences and your guits etc. as audio. The Toneport's also have mic pres for vocals etc.
