who here has experience and/or input on these boards? i am currently renting out a studio that uses this, and in the future when i get my own studio together i am thinking about getting the same one. as of thus far, i like the board, and the owner has loved it for many years...but after a few searches on here, i found some people dont feel the same way.

i'm trying to connect my Mackie onyx 800r to my digi003. i just bought both of these units last week. i've read the manual, and as far as i can tell, i'm connecting everything correctly. the Mackie says it's locked to the 003. i think my problem is the ADAT cable. i've never used one, so i don't know how to connect it exactly.

Anybody tried both? The Mackie unit seems to have a few more routing options and has more preamps - though quantity of preamps isn't really that big a deal for me. Any impressions of the comparison of quality of pres and converters of these two units.

I know, I know, I shouldn't even be thinking about this while I'm pissed off at my digi 002R...but I am.

Hi All,
Does anyone has any experience with Mackie Big Knob monitor
management device ? Any opinion how good/bad it is ?

I have a Mackie 32.8 Bus console in the studio.
I use it just for the monitoring when i'm recording drums mostly,and i have my RME ADI8 outputs rooted to tape returns on the rear,so i can listen all the chanels.
The question is,how badly does Mackie degrade the sound quality of the original source.

Hey I was wondering if I could get as much feed back as I can from you guys about the monitors. I have read great things about both of them, but was wondering if anybody has an opinion on either or?

I'm looking to buy a new mixer to replace all my old crap, Basically a mix between live/recording is what I'm aiming for. I've working with a lot of different Mackie boards and I've got nothing but praise. But I've been tracking the Peavey 16Fx and Dual USB 2.0 would be much easier than the Firewire since my DAW only has USB 2.0 ports.

If I decided to not get the Fireface 400 and got the Mackie Onyx + some mics instead, would there be anything in the Mackie that I could use in a few years, when I upgraded all my stuff? Are the pre's THAT good, or only very good "for the money", or only good "for live"?

hi there, just wondering how to hook up a Mackie 32 channel to pro tools digi 02 rack. what other hardware would i need etc.. any help i would really be great. would i need to get a patchbayin order to do that ? if anyone could help me out in kind of a step by step type thing that would be cool! ha well thanks.

Ok so a friend of mine wants to record and he goes out and gets this very costly mixer. it's a Mackie TT24. I went over to check it out and from the looks of it to me this thing is for live sound and it is not a multi track recorder. I looked into it a little and all signs tell me it does not record, and my friend blew a lot of money on this thing.
