The King is dead. Long live the Κing! Years ago when I purchased the Mackie Onyx 1640 FW, which had just been released, after the first touch I had with it, I wished, first to have more outputs (returns from the computer) and secondly, I could record the EQ on each channel. So, I sent a letter to Loud Technologies, Inc. and asked to know if we could make some modifications to it. Here's the answer: "Hey Spyros, Thanks for writing! There is no upgrade for individual outputs from your DAW to the Onyx 1640. The current design of the FW card is up to 16 channels out of the Onyx 1640 into your DAW and a two channel return. This is largely due to the bandwidth capabilities of the firewire protocol and the ability to only handle a limited amount of audio information. In order to have switch-able recording/mixing control over the audio would mean a highly complex reconfiguration of the entire board, not just the FW card, hence a completely new model of console. Hope this helps, thanks!" And so it happened. Two years later, Onyx i came to life, and better than I had dreamed it. A few days ago, I parted with regret my old Onyx 1640 FW, because the problem presented by the power supply not repaired and I welcomed with joy the new Onyx 1640 i, Mackie sent me, for a small fee. So, I dedicate this video to my new Mackie Onyx 1640 i. Music is mine. i hope you enjoy it!
