i will check once i reach home.

THe information i gain is from gearslutz.com & Turnlab (studio) :D

Btw, those sites community told me to buy "ART MP Studio V3" for better vocals with mbox & pro tools, they say it provide great effects if i get it.

is that correct or nonsense ?

Thanks allot

There are a few good people on gearslutz, but most of them have no clue. They would rather argue about gear than actually make music. I think you will find the focus of this community more on actually making music. But honestly if you don't have really nice monitor speakers you will never be able to tell the difference between the ART and the Mbox pre amp.

btw im just following this community suggestions, i know gearslutz is +/-

Btw if i do have some good monitors, does the v3 studio provide "LOT better vocals" ?
Or is the Mbox mini pre amp same good as that ??

The are for the same use but have a totally different feel. Honestly just start making some good tracks with the gear you have before you worry about upgrading. Hone your craft. You can make amazing sounding records with the gear you currently own. It just feels like you are chasing gear and not working on becoming a better producer.

As far as struggling with Pro tools, take some tutorials on youtube. But people spend YEARS of there life learning that program its not something that you are going to figure out in a few days.
