I currently use the onyx 1640 w/ firewire. and cubase. i run my fantom keyboard and the akai mpc into the onyx. . i want to record tracks simutaneously but onto separate tracks into cubase. can someone explain exactly step by step wat i need to do to accomplish this?

I have the onyx firewire rigged with cubase. i may want to start using Pro Tools.wats a good Pro Tools rig that i can use while keeping my firewire setup.is the quality of the m-box efficient-professional.?

hi...
can somebody understand the dillema of a gear junky pre libido..
ive been fantasising about the Mackie onyx 1620 mixer with firewire I/O to set up a small studio...everythings going fine..the reviews are rocking...! the gear looks and feels and sounds smooth, and affordable..

Anybody using this unit? Im about to pull the trigger on one of these to use with my 002R and 1604vlzpro.

How do those two compare?

I'd like to upgrade my studio to 8 inputs and better A/D converters (currently using a Delta 44). I want decent mic preamps built-in so I can quickly record a whole bunch of tracks.

I was thinking about the PreSonus Firepod but then found those two options which seem better.

I'm looking for opinions on which would be a preferred setup. I am currently using a Roland VS-1680 now and would like to upgrade to either the new VS-2480DVD or possibly going the PC DAW route with a Mackie Onyx 1640 including the firewire card which comes with Tracktion (Mackie's software) or maybe get Logic or Cubase. Is anyone using the Onyx firewire setup? If so what software?

Thought I'd give it a try here too. Can anyone give me any advice on setting Cubase sx3 to work well with an onyx 1220 (mackie). What is the ideal bus set up (VST connections)...etc..

Also any thoughts about this basic set-up? Anyone else using an onyx based small scale setup with Cubase sx3?

Thanks!

Just wondering if there are any members using an Onyx (1220, 1620, 1640) with Cubase SX3. and if so, how do you like it?

I recently purchased a 1220 and I'll be using it with Cubase SX3 and would really love to hear any pointers, tricks, tips or whatever as far as using the Onyx with Cubase! Setting up buses in particular... Help me get started any way you can. Thanks!

What do people think about it? Heard it's loverly. But, what the hell do I know. I've also heard that it's a piece of crap.

I'm so confused! My whole life has been a lie!

I got it yesterday. I am impressed. A nice peice of gear. very quiet operation. nice sounding pres. Better A/D. head and shoulders above the PreSonus digimax which I have listed on ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7325852940
