That sounds great. If you have opinions, keep them coming :D I understand all to well about woes with mackie... I'm actually going to try to return mine tomorrow as I've had it for 4 months, and haven't heard it work once (bought it new). I've spent tons of hours trying to get it working...

Hey! So right now I'm at a place where I've saved up some money ($500-700) and was planning on buying a nicer condenser and SM7b (my current mic inventory includes an sm57, sennheiser e609 silver, and an AT2020). However I read a helpful article stressing the importance of things other than...

I second the adding of samples if its not too much trouble. I imagine there is a good bit of difference. When I was playing with these group of people we switched from cheap DI's for the bass to a nicer studio one and it seemed to make a noticeable difference (I'd like to think it wasn't just...

Thanks! I've got sound coming through which is a huge relief. Now I just need to get my onyx firewire mixer to get a windows 7 driver... Thanks I'll update when news about that hits. Thanks again guys! -Josiah

I'm using a Mackie Onyx 1640 with firewire, but I haven't even gone into the process of hooking it up yet. I'm simply trying to get sound out of audition i.e. when I put a audio track into the edit or multitrack session I can't hear a thing with ASIO. My sound card settings are at 48hz, but...

So as the title suggests I have no sound in playback with Asio4all v2. When I start it says "The audio input is not activated. Recording audio is not possible...". So I change the settings to Asio4all v2, and the only stereo out I have is "Realtek HDA SPDIF Out 1". With that selected no...

Thanks man, I tried that, and my computer shows the firewire mixer under the devices menu, but I can't do anything with it. It doesn't show up in adobe audition, and there isn't a way to update drivers or anything. Basically it shows that its connected, but its like it doesn't know what it is...

So I just spent a bunch of money (for me anyway) to get an onyx 1640 with firewire card, two firewire cables (9 pin to 6 pin), and a Texas Instruments chipset express card for the firewire... And the driver for the 1640 won't load, it keeps saying "please plug in your mackie/tapco audio...

If my memory serves me correctly, you cannot daisychain USB, only firewire, so in theory it would work. Do you know anyone who has another so you can try it out first? When the new model comes out you could still daisy chain, and probably get a really good deal by sticking with the slightly...

He's lucky to have a friend like you.

Hello all. So I recently decided to spring for an onyx mackie mixer, and am going to be using firewire. The issue I have is whether or not to buy the 1620i for around $1000 new (8 onyx preamps and firewire built in), or a used Onyx 1640 with the firewire card included (16 onyx preamps) for...

I probably wasn't clear enough, my bad. I meant that how the effects you use from the mixer while recording will be recorded that way, not that they will show up in your DAW. The EQ and etc are standalones, in that they only work within the mixer. Once its done, its done. -nocarsgo

Since I have the usb 1.0, I can't say for sure on all of the questions. However I know if you pan, or use the effects on the mixer they will be recognized and implemented by your DAW. I'm pretty sure you won't be satisfied with sound the sound if this is going to be your go to in terms of...

I have had no experience with their 2.0 line, but have recorded extensively with their usb 1.0. I know there will be a difference, but unless the preamps aren't different I don't think I'd go for it. Yes you'd have a lot of channels, but its not going to sound great. On the plus though, I've...

Mackie Onyx vs Allen & Heath Zed preamps I've been planning on purchasing the onyx 1220i for home recording, but when I went to one of my local stores and the guy was trying to sell me an Allen and Heath mixer. Being unfamiliar I soaked it all up. He seemed to not understand I wouldn't be...

A $1 usb mic purchased on ebay :rolleyes: One Sunday afternoon I recorded an entire "album" on window's sound recorder that I (of course) promptly distributed to all of my friends... Wow. I still have it the songs and mic too :D I need to and listen to that, btw fun thread.

Yeah, I'm definitely ditching vista (I only got it because I had too), but money is tight at the moment. The other thing was if there is going to be an AA4, I don't want to spend a lot for 3, when a better one is coming out soon. Yeah, theres upgrading, but still... Anyway, thanks again guys...

Hey all, I was wondering if there was any news on AA4, its been killing me not being able to use 3 due to vista. I've been stuck with 1.5 :( Thanks! nocarsgo

Hey man, Just some positive critique for you. It sounds pretty thin to me, I suppose its the midi. If you can, I'd spring for reason or something like that. Something that brings a bigger sound. One thing that stuck out to me was that the tracks seemed redundant, but again I don't listen...
