Recording Mixer Round Two

Hi!
Well we are on to another round of recording mixer testing, this time with a Mackie Onyx 1640 (detailed info)


Please take some time to review this mixer before it is your turn to use it. We have the optional firewire card that will allow us to multitrack the music portions of the service. This mixer will need to deliver audio to the recording computer and the video camera, so getting a good recording becomes doubly important! One of the reasons for choosing this mixer was it's ability to work with PC or Mac systems, and since we are getting a Mac video editing computer it allows us to have really good recordings for video. We are also planning to use an external harddrive system when we do the recording making it easier to transfer infomation around. It is a small format mixer making it portable enough to use for coffee houses and other events. If we stay with this mixer the plan is to sell the existing setup for the coffee house, if you know anyone who would be interested in the Fender mixer and it's (vintage windows 98) 8 track recording system, please let me know. It is a 16 channel mixer, with all channels working, it is not very portable, weighing close to 100 lbs.

Thanks for all of your efforts!
Keith
