Dear fellow gearheads :)

Just a technical question I hope someone could help me with.

I have just bought the mbox 2 and have recorded two tracks in the same session. What is the easiest way to get this idea to an mp3 or wav file? I try to do it via bounce to disk but the outcome is a huge file which contain no audio.

I am not the technician so please help me out :)

    you need an extra plug-in to do that.

    You need to do the following things:

    1. Create a master stereo fader
    2. Highlight the timeline for which you want to bounce
    3. Choose the proper file settings (stereo interleaved, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz wav) when you bounce

    If you've done all of those things, then I'm not sure where you're going wrong.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    I don't know why bouncing to disk didn't work.:confused: That's all I do.

    You select bounce to disc, convert during the bounce, and then save it into a folder... then it bounces it down as a wav to that folder, and you can convert it to an mp3 in iTunes later.

    edit: unless mbox is different than the 002 in that retrospect.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    It's weird, but I really don't know of a better mp3 conversion than iTunes. I think it does a wonderful job.
