Mbox 2 Mini interface
Meet Mbox 2 Mini, an incredibly compact and easy-to-own USB Pro Tools LE audio workstation from Digidesign. It is an ideal solution for the beginner getting into recording music on their computer and the seasoned studio vet looking for a mobile Pro Tools system. It has 2 channels of simultaneous analog I/O, 24-bit/48kHz sound quality, an XLR jack with 48V phantom power, 2 - 1/4" line-/instrument-level jacks, zero-latency monitoring, 2 - 1/4" monitor outputs, headphone jack, and front-panel volume and mute controls. The compact design makes it perfectly portable, as does the USB-bus power support. The Mbox 2 Mini also includes Pro Tools LE software.

Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2
The Pro Tools Ignition Pack 2 includes a comprehensive collection of powerful effects and instrument plug-ins, creative compatible applications, high-quality sounds, artist promotion services, and other helpful utilities to professionally compose, perform, record, sequence, edit, mix, master, and promote your audio creations. The Pack includes products from trusted names like Ableton, Propellerhead, FXpansion, Trillium, iZotope, Big Fish audio, Sonicbids.com, and more. It also comes with Digidesign's Xpand! which lets you create unique sounds with a powerful sample-playback/synthesis workstation that enables you to craft everything from clean-sounding acoustic instruments to complex soundscapes or beat-driven loops easily. It's a great tool for songwriters, DJs, sound designers, music producers, and anyone else looking to add originality to their compositions.

Structure LE sampler plug-in
The LE edition of Digidesign's Structure RTAS sampler workstation may not feature all the bells and whistles of it's bigger brother, but regardless, it's an amazing instrument for Pro Tools users, and comes at nearly a third of the cost. You lose some features, like sample mapping and a few of the in-depth editing features of the standard Structure, but the ability to integrate a mixed bag of samples and tweak them into your own simple and/or complex sounds is still the big draw. Structure LE Sampler Virtual Instrument comes with a 3GB sound library from the Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research team (A.I.R.), and gives you the freedom to add samples from other unencrypted sound libraries (KONTAKT, EXS24, SampleCell, etc.)you may already own too (up to 24-bit, 192kHz, 7.1 surround). The 8-channel multitimbral sound engine offers a maximum of 256 polyphony per structure instance and 32 polyphony per part, with 3 stereo auxiliary outputs. The multi-effects processing engine includes simplified controls; more than 20 professional stereo and surround effects algorithms; the ability to add and edit an unlimited number of effects in any patch; and a global effects page featuring 4 internal effects busses, 4 effects inserts per bus, and a master insert bus. You also get 6 Smart Knobs and full MIDI Learn functionality for real-time control, drag-and-drop sample import from the Pro Tools environment, an integrated database and browser, and full save functionality-all features of the normal Structure software package.

If Pro Tools is your DAW of choice, and you're wanting to add samples into your virtual canvas, why not go with a package optimized exclusively for your workstation. Since both products were developed by Digidesign, you'll experience the highest level of reliability.
