Mbox 2 Mini Vista SP1 Compatability

Hey,

I was just about to buy the Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini, when I noticed it says that its not compatible with Vista SP1. Now I have Vista Home Premium (32 bit) so thats fine, but I have upgraded to Service Pack 1 .It says an announcment will be made in March 2008 ? and thats all there is on the website ?

So does anyone know if its compatible with Vista SP1 yet?

MBox Micro? Any ideas...

I bring the Mbox Micro up because I am a Cubase/PC user, but I want to learn and MIX in Pro Tools without buying another interface. I own a PreSonus Firestudio and any tracking I will do with that (at least for the near future). I am familiar with Pro Tools but I don't spend nearly as much time on it as I do Cubase.

THE QUESTION:

Will MBox 2 have sufficient gain to power SM7?

I plan on purchasing a Shure SM7B for hip hop vocals, and I also plan on purchasing the Mbox 2 with Pro Tools to accompany it in recording. I've heard about problems with using the SM7 with an interface/pre that doesn't have enough gain to handle it, so I was just curious if the Mbox 2 will work well to get solid, clean recordings with the SM7.

Thanks!

Mbox 2 PRO vs. . PreSonus firestudio project

Hi everyone, my first post! I am getting my son either MBox 2 PRO or the PreSonus firestudio project. I have the specs from the compays, but which is a better quality interface and which software will be easyer to learn. PreSonus comes with Cubcase le and M box 2 PRO comes with Pro Tools le and lots of plugins.
We do not want to be limited in expantion in the future.
