Mackie Onyx

[Willie Toth]

Bill,

You may have to use the “rewire” feature but it should interface without problem … Personally I am not a fan of the “Makie sound” but I don’t do a lot of driving rock either … How many channels are you recording at once? I am assuming that you are thinking of purchasing a board plus the interface … Presounus makes a firewire unit called the “firepod” that has 8 in’s … There are a lot of options out there depending upon your use … The Mackie unit is well rated on Americanmusical.com … Hope this helps more than confuses …….

It was pretty much plug-and-play. I didn’t end up doing the final recording, but did do several test recordings and it worked. OK, it MOSTLY worked (once it crashed but every other time it worked.) I assume it was Audition that caused the crash but don’t know for sure.

I was using the 16 channel Onyx and it sounded pretty clean to me.
