I have not used the MBox 3 Pro, and it is a little unclear from the website as to how many channels you can record at once.
It says in the specs that it has "8 x 8 simultaneous channels of I/O", so should have 8 input channels, and therefore, should let you record 8 channels at once.
It looks like you only have the 4 mic/line inputs.
There is also the Aux Input 5/6, on RCA or 1/8" stereo minijack connectors, I guess that that should give you another 2 channels.
You should also be able to get 2 channels of SPDIF digital signals through a breakout cable connected to the HD15 connector on the MBox Pro rear panel, from the SPDIF output on the MPC2000/XL 8 output option board.
So that would give you 8 separate channels from the MPC into the MBox 3 Pro, not sure if there are any other options for the 8 available input channels, or not.
