Which one would you choose and why? I would be using it to record drums and maybe a small band.

I have a studio question about my set up. I mainly do voice-over production...here's what's in my home studio:

Hi guys,

I've been reading through these forums over the last few days and can't thank everyone enough for all the great advice and questions asked here!

How do I assign a track to my Mackie Onyx 1220i mixer in Logic Pro 9? I tried choosing under I/O but I only find output 1 and 2 there.

I've run my mac with the Mackie Onyx 1220i for the last two days, and it have worked very well. Then I started Logic Pro 9 and it was very slow. After a restart, the whole machine was still slow. I unplugged the mixer and everything was back to normal. What is wrong?

Anyone hear of this? It's supposedly a new product in the Onyx line. Good/bad reviews? I'm always skeptical when a company known for having a good line of gear comes out with something 'new'.

Mackie M2600 power amp.

Symptoms:
Channel 1 has 'Short' & 'Protect' LEDs continually lit
Channel 2 has 'Short' LED continually lit
Amp operates, tested for 2 hours continuous loud music

Hi, been out of the music game for around 10 years and i am slowly unpacking my gear in order to start recording again. I have recently acquired a TC finaliser Plus and i am confused to which cables i required to connected this into my setup.

I am thinking of hooking this up as follows; Mackie - control room out - finalizer in - finalizer out - studio amp - monitors.

What's your favorite Mackie studio monitors?

I was trying to test my new Mackie 402-vlz3 mixer yesterday with a bass guitar. so my friend came with a jazz bass (the brand escapes me now...) and we plugged it into the line 1 input and made use of the instrument level switch (which is great, replaces a DI box).
