One of the main problems that customers face when buying an interface is that they often do not get the chance to hear it in action before they make a purchase. Therefore, Avid decided that they would take a step towards combating this issue by creating the Mbox listening challenge.Avid’s Mbox range of interaces include all-new signal paths, premium converters and a lot more, so it is no surprise that they wanted to show them off! Avid decided to perform a highly scientific experiment that compared the input and output stages of the Mbox Pro against three other brilliant sounding interfaces with similar feature-sets, but that cost approximately three to six times more! 
We came across this rather cool app the other day… it’s called V-Control Pro by Neyrinck and it allows you to control your favourite DAW (Pro Tools, Logic or Cubase/Nuendo) using the sensitive touchscreen of the iPad!V-Control gives you all the functionality of a dedicated hardware DAW controller plus a lot more, all for a fraction of the price! In fact, even if you don’t currently own an iPad, the cost of the latest iPad plus the V-Control application is still less than half the price of a decent hardware controller!
