I can almost hear the flames before I ask.

Wondering if I could use my M-Box (original) as a portable mic preamp
without connecting it to my Powwerbook. The reason is there are times I
don't want to mess with setting up the Powerbook, and I don't need
Protools. I'd just like to interface the M-Box with a small recorder
(analog or S/PDIF) and make a recording. Later, it might get imported to
Pro Tools.

I assume the only issue with this scheme is where the M-Box would get
it's power, since it normally comes from the USB on the Mac. I also
realize the mic preamps are not great, but for what I want to do they're
sufficient.

Thoughts appreciated.
