Dear Avid:
1. Bring back perpetual license
2. Introduce an affordable simple HDX DSP processing interface
3. Listen to your customers wants and needs
YES!!! AND......Provide long-term driver support for your hardware.
Too late, most of us have long gone and now live in the wonderful world of Studio One.
Right. I don't know who the are listening to anymore.
I think perpetual licenses are still available for previous perpetual license owners, since I just renewed mine 2 months ago. But yeah, I totally agree with you lol
@@lamlo really? I could not get a perpetual license, so had to purchase a subscription. Did they just change their minds? Frustrating to say the least. I am steadily learning reaper
You truly give the best in-depth explanations that are easy to follow. Thanks!
Oh my! So many features. Can't wait to see people test this out.
This is interesting. Didn't think Avid still had it in them to innovate
Thanks, Mitch! Another fantastic demo. We can all spend less time navigating the interfaces, and more time on creating whatever it is we are creating!
Sweetwater reviews are the best man, kudos Mitch. I've seen some other ones, this one makes the most amount of sense. I just hope i can connect it through spdif to my Genelecs without glitches🤞
Great job, Mitch! As always. :)
I love watching videos from Mitch Gallagher from Sweet Water!! Pretty darn cool
Great comprehensive video!
That mic sounded like crap when you switched over from the DAW to the Mbox.
Absolutely thinned it out
Not a great selling point.
Had a bass player needing some help getting started with and Mbox2 a couple years ago and it was a nightmare for a musician to navigate.
I'd have to sit down with it but I think a digital console with more mic preamps always makes more sense and is easier to use and comp and eq across all channels in and out and connectivity to a daw is pretty simple with the option of using macro pads, knobs and faders..
If you're doing a podcast and just want to route some guitar and not much else I think I'd recommend the rodecaster.
Thar Mb2 left a bad taste
I don't have a lot of faith that the Avid's hardware quality has improved so much that I'd spend $900 on one of these. I doubt I'd spend $200. So much more I could get for that price that will last a helluva lot longer.
$900,-!! 😮😮😮
For that price I’d get an Apollo.
@@H12379 Apollo rme or Audient are better
avids interface/converter quality has always been top notch
When was AVID hardware bad? It was a staple in studios
Cant wait to “wicky wicky” like my favourite DJ on this 😂
At first glance this seems way better than what Apollo Twin X / Console offers for less! This could be a great starting place for a hybrid setup!!!
why do you think it is better than apollo? for what use case scenario? i am honestly interested as i am thinking of going the UA route…
UA is now offer up to $400 off now, thanks Avid!😂
@@ekredel The Apollo twin X has loads of great things about it, however some of my gripes are that 1. The console app for the twin is very limited (the quad and 8p are much more in depth!) 2. The Twin X has adat inputs but no adat outputs(adat outputs are on the UAD Quad and up). (Mboxstudio has adat in and out + plenty more… ) ins are super handy for expanding with extra pre amps from a second audio interface,mixer etc. where more outs allow for you to send to hardware units and then return back though the some open ins
@@ekredel essentially the Apollo X4 is a much better comparison than the twin, but the price is double that of the Mboxstudio…… the audio quality of the mbox is something I can’t speak for though, just an observation for future proofing cost effectively … if money is no object you can alway daisy chain an Apollo twin x to a rack Apollo x8 for more i/o though that would be just as good if not better
Thank you so much for this!
Interesting. They just discontinued the Arturia Audiofuse Studio which is essentially the same thing and now this comes out. The I/O is great but wonder how the mic pres sound. The Arturia was underrated in that it gave an Apollo a serious run for it’s money sonically but just with no DSP
Are you sure the Audiofuse Studio is being discontinued?
@Eric Richardson At least on Sweetwater and a few other sites the page is either not found anymore or it says not available so idk 🤷♂️
I had the audiofuse 8Pre and had to get rid of it. It struggled in mixing/post when getting serious. It may be due to the drivers as Arturia just use generic windows drivers. Though the preamps really shine. I've used other interfaces to compare the same mixes in post and every time the audiofuse was outright useless even at the highest sample rate. It's a shame cause I like the pre's.
MBOX Studio has the same mic preamps as Pro Tools Carbon and S6L.
Mbox Studio uses the preamps from SL6 and Carbob which are better than the preamps of the Arturia.
I bought this based on the preamps and it sound better than Apollo
definitely answering some of My prayers,,nicely done
seems extremely similar to the Arturia AudioFuse Studio, in price too.
This is really sad 😢 Why no HDX DSP? It was an opportunity to add it in this MBOX release. I don’t understand Avid’s strategy, sometimes I feel that they intentionally plan to fail & loose customers !!!
You are not paying for HDX dsp so why expect it?
Seems to work very much like RME TotalMix FX.
As always, nice Sweetwater review! Question… Are all cable ports on the MBOX Studio balanced or unbalanced?
Hey, Tony! Thanks so much for reaching out. All the I/O on that MBOX will be balanced. With that being said, channels 1 and 2 can also be instrument level inputs, so those can technically be unbalanced as well (but, they’re able to take balanced level signal via line and mic in).
I hope this helps!

@@sweetwater Outstanding! Thanks very much for the reply Nick! Much appreciated!
That's a lot of features for the MBox return. I'm sure they'll sell a lot of those units.
The Bluetooth is very nice!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
After years and years of getting burnt by Avid, they've finally delivered! This literally solves all my issues I've had with I/O. UAD always, pristine but I don't want to give them another dollar. Picc your poison!!
I will.buy one when it's out guys
Don't waste your money lol
@@TropicIslandMusic ok thanks
It sweet
I can no longer use my Mbox pro 3 the latest update only works with mojave...AVID products have a limited lifespan.
Indeed! I was forced to stay on Mojave on one if my computers so I would be able to use my Mbox 3 Pro... but I can't run the latest Protools version on than one. How stupid is that? Can't have both AVID products running together because of the MacOS version. If they had just updated the drivers (which IS NOT a lot of work), I wouldn't be in this situation.
Fudge AVID!
Please make new drivers for the mbox 3 pro
What's wrong with the drivers with the mbox 3 pro driver? Mine has been working for almost 10 years.
@@ks-bg5uk Dosnt work in Macos Catalina
I imagine they will only support software updates for a max of 5 years. They bricked my mbox 3 after about that time. Unless i wanted to stay on 5 year pld os and software.
I ran my Mbox 2 for 14 years across all windows and protools updates without issues.
Even the promo vid from Avid is a GarageBand. Perfect but it's not pro gear for serious producers.
Waiting for a studio interface that is the younger brother to the MTRX. Until then it's RME for me.
shocked, you can actually run this in any DAW. It only took Avid 30 years for that to be the case, lol. The price point on this is extremely good for the feature set and the ability to route the analog inputs directly to the ADAT and SPDIF outputs means this thing can be used in existing setups as an 8 AD expander plus master section. That is a very good feature set Ed Grimley must say. I hope Avid makes a 004 to go with it, I would consider getting back into Avid gear if they did. Basically a carbon without the handicapped dsp and the ability to run any DAW. The reality is that the Carbon/Matrix interfaces have excellent converters on them, as much as I dislike Avids business model, the quality of the gear is second to none. (Update, converter specs are 10 years old) headroom is not there compared to other offerings, nice try Avid.
price point is great! Bought my RME Babyface Pro FS for about the same price, but less features
@@kyleritter3074 better quality converters on the Baby face, better noise specs/ THD/. You get what you pay for.
@@metalplatedfacejob "You get what you pay for." as in, a very slightly different nobody is gonna hear (if it's even any better, you haven't heard this one), and much fewer features?
@@foljs5858 I have heard it, it is overpriced for what it is but it does sound good. This thing will end up just like the 002 desktops they made years ago, in a trash heap. Get it if you don't mind being land locked and don't ever anticipate needing more then 2 channels.
@@metalplatedfacejob "and don't ever anticipate needing more then 2 channels." Why would that be a problem? This has both SPDIF and Optical...
I can’t get the onboard effects to work. I’m using slate digital mic with pro tools. None of the Mbox effects seem to be working for me. Also what db should I have my mic volume when recording vocals?
It's missing the Fisher Price badge. In the market for an upgrade and I dont think this is gonna sway me from the RME Babyface
Sorry, but I've been burned by AVID (digidesign) with their I/O peripherals in the past. After about 2 Protools upgrades, they ditch any type of support for these things. So, you're left with a useless peripheral in your studio.
You're mixing software looks just like totalmix. Looks like a good piece of gear tho.
No DSP.?
The Mbox 3rd generation were made "handsomely". This new thing is hideous.
Unfortunately, the drivers are absolutely abysmal, with massively high round trip latency when wanting to monitor FX through DAW. Some verb and EQ isn't enough for every use situation, and the latency is also very high when playing sofr synth plugins. So... this one is strictly for those wanting to record some live instruments and are happy with the included DSP.
What sample rate? What buffer? Lower em
@@molochfrolics8443 48K. No need to ever go any higher for electronic musicians. Only large multitrack projects of real analog instruments can benefit from something like 96K.
Bu that's besides the point.
Compared to other USB Asio interfaces, it's on average twice the latency at the same sample rate and buffer size, right throughout the range. And more than 3 times something like an RME Babyface.
Buffer? low as it could go. It's impossible to use for native plugin monitoring even at 48k/32 buffer. No way. I am reading the RTL from reviews, I have never used one. Check sound on sound from memory. It's the worst native RTL I have ever seen to this day, on any USB interface, ever. No jokes, I am not trolling you or exaggerating.
They WANT you to use the DSP effects, but they are just not comprehensive enough so it's a complete catch 22. No dynamics or Guitar Amp means one would really want to monitor through the DAW with native plugins instead, for example. Just another Avid dead end interface.
OTOH, Carbon could have been their shining star, had they used thunderbolt 3 with daisy chain capability and Windows compatibility. Instead they made that another non expandable dead end, single interface use on OSX only. Avid have absolutely no idea how to do an a best of all worlds interface. And at the prices they charge, I think one might have to have their sanity checked if they bought it over something like an Antelope Audio or UA X8/X16.
Edit, just found it, even at 32 buffer it's *over* 10ms round trip latency ROFL. On Mac. It's worse on Windows. WOW that's bad. An RME is something like 3.1ms at 48 samples, now THAT'S an Asio driver and then some.
@@molochfrolics8443
Can you record punch in and out on this device?
Hey, Tonypguitar! Great question and thanks for your interest. There isn’t a way to assign record or other transport controls to the assignable buttons on this interface currently. You could use softkeys on the Avid Control app using an iPad/android/Kindle to punch in and out, though.
I hope this helps!

@@sweetwater thanks for your reply!! How about a way to assign a footswitch into the footswitch jack to record punch in and out (like the Mbox 3pro)
Nice but 10 yrs to late.
THEY SHOULD OF MADE THIS THUNDERBOLT!!!!
Hello, been trying to find your website for the last two months but I keep getting this message 'this site can't be reahed'
What's up?
region block, same here..........from ghana
@@theopacalypse ouch. Too bad
So it means we can only reach them via mail
Get a vpn
No thank you Avid. Not investing until they get rid of the subscription BS with Pro Tools.
Too big for home studio and also Avid only support their hardware product driver for short period of time.
MBOX Studio is class compliant, meaning no custom drivers and it works on Max, Win and iOS. It also not only works with Pro Tools but you can also use it with Logic, Cubase or any other DAW or audio app of your choosing. 😉🤙🏽
this honestly would be worth the price if it had thunderbolt connectivity.
Wouldn’t be easily compatible with PC if that were the case. Plus, RME has proved that you don’t need TB for low latency. The key is the audio driver.
Tb is overrated
No perpetual licences for Pro Tools....? No support from me. Nothing. Nil.
The price is a bit rich for Mbox and getting stuck in the Avid world though I like the idea of blue toothing devices for reference during mixing.
It actually works with any Daw so you wouldn’t necessarily get stuck in The Avid World
You kidding me? I thought this would cost 2k knowing Avid. This interface is VERY extensive
the specs not better than an apogee duet 2, only preamps !
Wait a second...
the "centerpiece of a studio"? Come on, Mitch. You don't even buy that. There are FAR better boxes available than what Avid is plunking on the table right here. We all know that. Who on Earth is in with Avid hardware at this point? This is nuts. Hard pass.
Avid is throwing their hat in the ring. Can’t hate on that.
@@thisiswhereiwatch well, we CAN hate on that because Avid...
Name one for that price or less with those features???? The only issue I see with this is it should have come with a perpetual pro tool’s license like carbon …..other than that hardware wise this is great
@@divineknowledge5992 cool?
Really? There are 'FAR better boxes' available at this price with this capability? Which box is that?
Mbox not playin
No thanks.. it doesn't make me want to sell Apollo X4
arrives 11 years late after RME Fireface UFX and TotalMix FX, offers lower price and inferior functionality, healthy competition! :)
Oh a Dj controller 😂
I don’t think anybody will buy this. I feel like this is a terrible way to go avid. They need to work on pro tool rn instead of worrying about another hardware device you probably can’t use unless you have pro tools
Wrong….. It works with all DAWS and I’m getting it and alot off people are
No DSP processing like Carbon? What a shame.
it does have dsp
@@kyleritter3074 please explain, because With Carbon you can use third party plug-ins without latency because they will be running off of the processing power of DSP of the interface.
Exactly. This is really disappointing. They should have added “HDX” DSP that runs like Carbon and HDX cards. It’s a dealbreaker.
Are you paying for Carbon?
MBox 2 was the worst audio interface I ever owned. Digidesign/Avid, vampire company. Never again.
same here
Facts! 😂😂😂
Indeed the mbox 2 was terrible, but that was a digidesign product. After avid took over there has been little hardware innovation compared to other companies. Just banking on being the industry standard DAW while technology made the HD system obsolete.
Ha, it was still better than the original Mbox that I had
There was nothing wrong with the mbox2 especially for the time and the price. Totally suitable for mobile recording if using a decent di box
Too little, too late Avid, you shot your bolt and most of us have moved to Studio One. Bye.
I have an mbox 2 PRO with FireWire is there someone know If its possible to use with a new MacBook Pro with USB-c😩☕️🇸🇪
Looks like a toy, but it’s fine I guess
I will never buy AVID hardware again. I was forced to stay on MacOS Mojave on one if my computers so I would be able to use my Mbox 3 Pro... but I can't run the latest Protools version on than one. How stupid is that? Can't have both AVID products working together because MacOS version limitations. If they had just updated the drivers (which IS NOT a lot of work), I wouldn't be in this situation. AVID support is awful.
Fudge AVID!
This MBOX STUDIO uses 13-year-old converters, by the way...
That’s gotta be the ugliest looking audio interface I’ve ever seen..
It looks like it was designed by a 80s dj,the knobs look like decks and it looks cheap.
I have a Apollo twin and that’s a classy premium looking product .avids lost the plot and whoever’s in charge should be sacked
Hideous
I will never buy anything from avid mbox had too many devices that stopped working one of my favorite was the maudio project mix was perfect until it was no longer supported through it in the garbage
Isn't that cute, Avid is trying to catch up with everyone else.
Neat little interface though. If they put it down to $500 they'd probably sell a lot of them.
Yeh and then a couple years later they end up ditching support for the device so it becomes obsolete.
What an ugly looking interface it doesnt have a pro look at all..looks like a toy or some DJ setup...plus you cant buy protools which I stopped used years ago no longer the industry standard....
Learn your basics. Don't bluff. World has been a lot mature. We are in 2022. God bless you.
So many features but not interested. The word MBox scares me 😢. May be Tiktokers will go for it.
yeah, no thanks
Never buy avid interface. Worst performance.
AVID Just made some cool gear but without acknowledging why they've lost all credibility amongst the music community...lol
Could not watch the video. I went through so much pain with the original POS MBox Pro 2. Why the F would they resuscitate such a garbage piece of kit. Time to look away. La la la la la!
Avid support is the worst. They don't even bother with driver updates to fix widespread problems. It might work for now but next time you update your windows it could become a brick and they won't care. Be warned.
Hang on, this is a real product? I thought it was some kind of joke. My original MBox 2 looked better than this.
Good lourd this is so ugly!!
I remember my old mbox... Total garbage 😂
