About the Pro Tools Guides
This Getting Started with Mbox Guide explains
how to install and use Mbox to record, edit, and
mix audio and MIDI tracks in Pro Tools LE. For
additional information, see the following on-
line guides:
• Pro Tools Reference Guide explains Pro Tools LE
software in detail.
• DigiRack Plug-Ins Guide explains how to use

can install Acrobat Reader (included on the
Pro Tools LE Installer CD-ROM).

set (including the Pro Tools Reference
Guide) can be purchased separately from
