![]() And the part he said about Leopard not being formally supported is directly contrary to what their website says. This is contrary to all the information I've found on their forums, and on other forums. He says that although they haven't formally "approved" their Onyx boards with Leopard, they work fine on that OS. That being said, I wonder if I should simply buy a 10.5.x disk off e-bay so that I have an actual disk? I called Mackie today and talked to someone there who told me that the Onyx boards (not the i-series) should work fine with 10.4.11, and with Snow Leopard. I did install a second hard-drive though, and that's where the store put 10.5.8. But since I was going to upgrade to Logic Express 9, I needed to be running 10.5.7 or later-so I didn't even mess with 10.4.11. I thought I had gotten a disk with OS X 10.4 with it, but it doesn't seem to work. At least he cloned the drive, so I have something to go on now. ![]() My friend bought it from someone on Craigslist, and he got it without a system only had 10.4 on it. But now that it's working, it seems very stable.īut I got the thing with no OS disk. It wasn't as easy to figure out the problem as I've explained it here, and it took a few days to figure out. I have had it working for two weeks now, and once I removed the bad RAM, things seem to be working well. As it turns out, it probably isn't the logic board at all-it was the RAM. I got the G5 from my friend, because it wasn't working and he thought it had a bad logic board. Well, I had OS 10.5.8 installed at a computer store, and so I don't have a OS disk. The big price difference reflects the extra cost of the 16 D/A converters used to bring back into the analog realm.īest of luck with your band and your decisions. I find that the new i series is a great idea, not having used one yet, I may think there worth a closer look before deciding on that older mixer. ![]() I must say that there is a dramatic difference of opinion here, those of you may tend to want the ITB sound and those of us who have recorded with analog tape machines and consoles in the past may tend to lean more to the analog mixer (OTB) sound. Now, when your sending your tracks out to a mixer in analog your mixing your tracks out of the box(OTB). If you have heard of ITB mixing, you are aware that your mix is being summed digitally in the box (ITB) as in Logic Pro for instance. Why would this be important you may ask? Well, I know that some opinions differ dramatically, but it is a current trend in recording now that people value the sound of an analog mix. The big difference between the new one and the older version is that the i series firewire allows you to assign your mix back to the faders in analog. Would you be looking at the onyx i series mixers too? I know that Mackie made an older version (1640) with a firewire option, I believe this is the mixer your talking about. You could use this mixer as a PA mixer and a A/D interface for your Logic Pro setup.
