The features of new mackie onyx has got me thinking about selling the 1402 I use for live gigs and picking up the 1220 and firewire card and recording direct to my mac instead of spending a lot of money on studios.

I've got a few questions though. Are the firewire I/Os on the mac itself able to handle the input, or do I need to get some kind of card or outboard system? (Other threads mentioned something about an MOTU I/O) Any software recommendations? I usually use Bias Peak, but it only handles two tracks at a time.

My setup is: two to four drum machine/sampler tracks, two tracks of loops from echoplexes and one or two separate channels of guitar. Vocals go on later. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Hello?

Can anyone help me out on this one? Mac users? Onyx users? Or just knowledgeable? I've got a recent powerbook if that is any help . . .
