Works Great, December 16, 2005
I recently bought a Mackie ONYX FireWire I/O Card and Mackie Onyx 1220 12-Channel Mixer. They replaced my DMAN 2044 interfaces I was using. (I had 3 cards for 12-in, but they did not sync up very well and had a high noise floor....) The mixer has nice transparent preamps. I am using a Behringer board for the other 8 preamps (not very portable at the moment). The firewire card works great - I can record all 12 inputs with minimal latency and no dropouts/static, my dynamic range has increased considerably. I am running it all on an underpowered computer (K6 900MHz) and it works great. Setup was simple - the autorun.exe (on the install cd) did not want to run, but you can install the drivers by going into the driver folder and running setup.exe. I have not had any problems with the software/drivers, I am even using a fairly cheap CompUSA firewire card.
I recommend this mixer/firewire combo for any project studio and with additional mic preamps it would be great for mobile recording.
