I recently discovered this mixer and it blows me away reading the manual and stuff. It would make a great mixer for both live and in the studio. 16 channels straight to a computer through firewire, oh man I would love to record live shows like that. Ultimately I think this is what I'm saving up for. Does anyone dislike this mixer or have any comments on it?

I've been having many problems with the two since I bought them about a week ago. I've solved many of them but there is still this one that I cant fix. This is what happens, I'll record my drums in Cubase SX...then I'll try to edit it or add eqs and effects to it.

from experience help me out people. lol. I am into rock music and want to get high quality recording. Digi 002 with Pro Tools or Mackie universal/onyx w/ sonar. I will be using highly equipped new PC for strictly recording. and what kind of preamps (with a nice price) can you ad to the digi 002 since it only has 4 and I may need from 6-8 when recording drums. Thanks alot

Where have all the analog mixers gone? Exactly!

Here come the firewire interfaces - a new one every month.

So is there still an interest in having the hands on feel of an analog mixer or are we doomed to small twisty knobs with no linear feel?

Anybody know when this product is slated to ship?

It loos great and it has firewire too.

Thank you

I'm new to the forum, but have already learned a lot this week as I've been reading. I'm preparing to start a PC-based Recoring studio that will be used to record many multi-track groups (Church choirs, Church worship bands, Small Church Orchestras, etc.). I have been looking for reviews on the Mackie Onyx 1640 and have only found a couple through the Mackie website.

Right now I need a firewire mic preamp for drums. Im running and 828 but figured I should add a multi-channel mic preamp for recording drums. I was trying to decide between these two . just wanted some input or other ideas - thanks !

Hi all,

has anyone had any first hand experience with the Mackie onyx 8 ch pre, I know its still kinda new, thought I'd ask anyway, I'm gonna need an 8 ch pre soon, for the bucks it doesnt seem too bad, not the best, but not the worst!

or, anyone got any recomendations for an 8 ch solid state pre?
Nothing too over the top price wise.

thanks,

Hi,
which mixer would be best sounding for live performance or recording elec bass/guitar rig ? (mostly using line or mic outs from from preamp and FX outputs going into the mixer channels) . Is the sound quality of the Allen Heath MixWizard3 or Mackie Onyx pretty much equal?

I am looking to get a better A/D interface; I currently have the M-Audio OMNI Rack. I would really like to get the Apogee AD-16X! What are some converters that are a notch below the Apogee converters-MOTU, RME, etc? I have gotten suggestions to check out the RME stuff because of the quality to price factor of their products.
