Has anyone test driven the Mackie ONYX 1640 with the firewire output card. I 'm putting together a mid priced studio setup based around a dual 2.5 G5 and Logic. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
All the Best!

I have had a 1620 for awhile and its the BOMB! - it sounds awsome live - its ultra flexible - hella convenient - etc......... only thing that sucks is live situations where you dont need a mixer but you need an interface

What do you think about the pre's and the eq? How flexible is the software and how easy is it to hook up and use?

How so? Too big for just a few needed inputs into a computer?
What software are you using with it to record? Using core audio? Problems with latencey?

Yes it is pretty big, for example i played at a house party last week in a really cramped space and I had to stick my onyx under my keyboard stand! - The Eq is really nice you can cut highs but it still has a nice airy sound. my only beef is sometimes the resonance in the mids seems a bit high
- I am using logic pro 7 with no latency or core audio problems
- I like the pre-everything approach cause I would rather have as pure a signal as possible.

Yeah,
I think that the the best thing they did on that board was make the firewire sends "pre" everything. I would much rather have a pure signal for recording than have it go through all the other eq's, etc.
How are the preamps on the board? I've had a lot of guys telling me that they are way better than the older mackie stuff.
