I set up my mbox and downloaded asio driver from digidesign. I can hear cd's playback perfect and I've hooked up a mic and I can hear everything fine, but when I play i tunes the song digitizes like a delayed autovox. Now I purchased the mbox 2 so I could use it to help me mix and record my music better using n-track. Please if You could give any advice as to what I might be able to do so I can continue mixing, it would be greatly appreciated.

dylangle3 I would be surprised if you could hear the plug in on the way in with an MBox 2 Mini. If you plug a microphone into the preamp and then have music playing back from Pro tools or whatever DAW you are running, the mic will only monitor pre-software ... meaning that the signal is recorded into the software program, but what you are hearing of the mic signal is before it gets into the software. It is a function of host based DAWs at this point in time. As CPUs get faster, this may be less of an issue, but unless anyone has unlocked the secret chalice in the meantime, all Host based programs operate this way.
Once you have recorded your audio, you can add any plug in you like to effect the signal.

More than likely you need reinstall the correct drivers and make sure that they are up to date.

Hi, most of the static that comes through with distortion actually has to do with the pickups of the guitar itself. Most single coil pickups pick up a lot of static while it is virtually eliminated in double coil pickups.
If you have single coil pickups, like on a Fender Strat, then it really helps if you keep the strings very quiet and you keep the space around the pickups tight. Try resting your hand on the strings when not playing, it really works!
If you have double coil pickups, like on a Gibson Les Paul or SG, and you still get a lot of static, there may be a lose connection somewhere in your setup. Check all your cables and try moving them around a bit to see if that is the problem. Again, keeping the space around the pickups tight is very very helpful.
The easy way round this is to increase the amount of RAM in your machine. I would suggest at least 3 GB and use the fastest ram you can fit (check the spec of your machine for the memory type [DDR2 or DDR3], max speed and how much ram your board will take. If your Windows OS is 64 bit you can fit the max amount your machine can handle)
