Re: Mixers - Inquiry

I've been using a Mackie Onyx for a long time now. Firewire, you just plug 
it in your laptop and you're ready to go. No drivers (mac), no hassle, and 
great preamps! Not just handy for live and looping but also for recording 
(on the go). Have been using it for years now and lever let me down.

Cheers,

Reyn
