  • Mbox 2 with Pro Tools LE 7.0/7.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 ('Tiger') for PPC-based Macs. Pro Tools 7 Information. For information about Pro Tools 7, including Upgrades.
  • Operating Systems Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.5 PPC, Mac OS X 10.5 Intel Additional Requirements The Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Driver v7.4.2 was tested and qualified on Mac OS X 10.5.3 only.

I installed the 10.3.9 MBOX 2 driver but the device was not recognized. I then had to manually delete the 10.3.9 drivers and install 10.3.3 MBOX 2 driver. From there the MBOX lit up and is once again recognized by the system and is visible in the System Preference. Thank you for your courage. A Digi 002 and Mbox 2 cannot be used together on the same computer at the same time. 2 Mbox 2 units cannot be used on the same computer. Digi 002 faders cannot be used with any other system. Pro Tools 6 does not work in the OS 9 'Classic Mode'. You must choose Mac OS X as your Startup Disk. Additional Information.

Maximum Performance Guidelines

Digidesign mbox 2 driver mac el capitan
  • Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended or supported
  • For Power Mac G5 or G4 desktop models, a separate internal or external dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended for maximum performance and track count.
  • Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may be possible using the internal drive in iBook, PowerBook, iMac and Mac mini models, a separate external dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended for maximum performance and track count. Digidesign recommends the use of FireWire drives for use with these computers.
  • Dual processor users will experience increased performance over single processor CPUs

Known Incompatibilities

  • Mbox will not function if any Digidesign PCI cards are installed in the CPU. (Digi 001, Audiomedia III, TDM cards, SampleCell)
  • Pro Tools LE core hardware systems cannot be combined
  • Pro Tools 6 does not work in the OS 9 'Classic Mode'. You must choose Mac OS X as your Startup Disk.

Energy Saver Settings

Pro Tools Does Not Support Sleep Mode

In the Macintosh System Preferences, launch Energy Saver, click the Sleep tab, and disable all Sleep features. Set 'Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive' to Never. Do not manually put your computer to sleep when running Pro Tools.

Processor Performance & Power Mac G5

For optimal Pro Tools performance, you must set Processor Performance (located in System Preferences > Energy Saver > Options) to 'Highest'. Updating your Mac OS may reset this to the default setting: 'Automatic'. After updating your Mac OS, check to make sure this is set to 'Highest'.

Apple's Mac OS help documentation provides the following info on Energy Saver Processor settings:

  • The PowerPC G5 processor in your Power Mac G5 can run at various speeds. The default setting for this feature is 'Automatic', which allows the system to run the processor at full speed when required, and at a lower speed during periods of light processing activity. Certain real-time applications, such as audio creation or gaming, may perform optimally when using the highest processor performance setting. You can change the processor performance setting in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences.
