Audio Units Compatible With Pro Tools 8 LE

Avid Technology's Pro Tools audio recording software has become the industry-standard recording, editing and mixing platform for music the world over by offering immense editing and processing power along with a huge track count. Pro Tools 8 LE systems were developed to offer a scaled-down version of the full Pro Tools 8 production suite at a lower cost for musicians and studio owners alike, but requires specific Digidesign audio interface units to operate.
  1. MBox Units

    • The affordable MBox interfaces are almost universally compatible with Pro Tools 8 LE. When running Apple's Snow Leopard OS, the third generation Mbox, Mbox Mini and Mbox Pro are compatible with Pro Tools 8.0.4 LE and higher. The second generation of Mbox units, including the Mbox 2 Pro, Mbox 2, Mbox 2 Mini and Mbox 2 Micro will run with Pro Tools 8.0.3 and higher. The first-generation Mbox is compatible only with Apple's Leopard OS and Pro Tools 8.0 LE.

    Digidesign 003 Family

    • Developed and released for the semiprofessional to professional recordist, Digidesign's 003 family of audio interfaces includes the 003 Rack and 003 Surface Controller. Both units offer outstanding audio integration and control, with the 003 Surface Controller featuring automated faders and rotary encoding knobs. These units are compatible with Apple's Leopard OS and Snow Leopard OS and Pro Tools 8.0 LE and higher.

    Digidesign 002 Family

    • Developed for earlier versions of Pro Tools, the 002 family represents the predecessors to 003 units. Featuring a similar feature set as the 003 units, Digidesign offers a 002 Surface Control and 002 Rack units. Like the 003 units, these interfaces are compatible with Leopard OS and Snow Leopard OS and all available versions of Pro Tools 8 LE.

    Digidesign Eleven Rack

    • Developed as a direct interface between electric guitars and Pro Tools 8 LE, the Eleven Rack offers guitar inputs and hardware controls to adjust Pro Tools Eleven guitar amp emulation software. This allows guitarists to bypass the need for loud amplifiers and microphones for quick and convincing digital copies of the same sounds. The Eleven Rack is compatible with all versions is Pro Tools 8 LE and Leopard OS and higher.
