Will the Pro Tools Mbox Family ship with Pro Tools 9 Software?
The Pro Tools Mbox Family products (3rd generation Mbox, Mbox Mini, and Mbox Pro) will continue to come bundled with Pro Tools LE 8.0.4 software until the end of 2010. In Q1 2011 we will begin shipping Pro Tools Mbox Family products with Pro Tools 9. At that time, the price of the Pro Tools Mbox Family line of products will increase, due to the added value of Pro Tools 9. If you’re interested in purchasing a Pro Tools Mbox Family product and using Pro Tools 9 software before Q1 2011, buy a current shipping Mbox family product that has LE bundled with it and take advantage of the crossgrade to Pro Tools 9. Purchasing and crossgrading today will cost less than waiting to purchase Mbox with Pro Tools 9 next year.
