Soundcard+Seq... Mbox2 worth it?

Hey, I just got myself a mpc1000, now i'm looking for a soundcard and a software sequencer...

Is the Mbox2 worth it? Since it comes with both, or should I buy something like the M-Audio Firewire audiophile and a version of Cubase?

Any recommendations for a guy getting into hardware production?

Thanks

if your gonna go with PRO TOOLS, make sure your computer can handle it.

you have been warned......

If you do go with pro tools, I advise that you put it on a computer that you are just using for music, meaning no internet or anything like that!!!!

seperate computer just for music?...can't afford that lol, how do i check if my computer can handle it?

and if it CAN'T handle it, what do you suggest as an alternative to protools and the mbox2

Talk to a professional about it.

7.0 works with mine. But I had to wait a year for that one to come out.

I say go for the soundcard and some software like Adobe Audition 1.5 or something until you can afford it. The M-Audio Firewire would work great. Most of those usually come with some type of software you can use.

thanks for tha replies, ima look into tha maudio firewire...
n e one else with advice?
