If you could combine the Microbook II's features with the Apogee condenser and converters, I think you'd have a portable dream setup. I've heard great things about its built-in mic. I think there would be a market for an Apogee One type device-only at least 2 simultaneous ins and 4 outs. If I'm able, I'll just bring them straight into Pro Tools.īut Pro Tools and the H2 don't interface well at all, and I can't use the H2 as an audio interface.

So far, the Apogee One seems to be the only interface with a built in mic, and the MOTU Microbook II seems the second-most portable-small, but no built-in mic.Īs it stands now, for portable recording, I'll use my Zoom H2 and bring in the wav files to Audacity and trim them up, maybe normalize, then import them into Pro Tools. I know it's a shame, because there are a few usb mics i wouldn't mind trying when I'm going portable. On Russ Hughes' site, if you check this link of compatible interfaces, I think you'll find few, if any that don't have audio in and out.

I think Pro Tools doesn't like interfaces that don't include both input and output.
