We’ve already said that the Mbox and Pro Tools Express bundle is great value, but here are a few things you should consider adding to your shopping list for further recording pleasure.

1. M-Audio Keystation Mini 32. A low price, very cool mini keyboard that offers 32 touch sensitive keys, perfect for inputting MIDI.

2. SE Electronics SE X1 microphone. A great all round microphone that will make your vocals sparkle and give your acoustic guitar presence.

3. Fxpansion BFD Eco. Pro Tools has always been a little light on a budget drum instrument. BFD Eco is easy to use, sounds great and is super value.

4. REAPER DAW. For around £50 you can add REAPER that will give you unlimited track count, it hosts VST and AU plug-ins and simply ReWires into Pro Tools Express.

5. A Pro Tools Expert membership. You get nearly 400 videos and all the sounds you are going to ever want to use in Structure FREE, at £9.99 it’s daylight charity.
