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).
#MACKIE ONYX FIREWIRE DRIVER PRO#
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.
