Mackie qualifies Onyx-i mixers for use with Pro Tools M-Powered 8 13/10/09
|
Pro Tools M-Powered 8 users must purchase the Mackie Universal Driver upgrade ($49.99 USD) at www.mackie.com. Once the driver is downloaded and installed, the Onyx 820i, 1220i, 1620i and 1640i mixers can be used with Pro Tools M-Powered 8 software. Onyx-i Series mixers are compatible with all other DAWs right out of box (Core Audio compliant for Mac; included drivers for PC).
John Boudreau, VP of LOUD's Music Gear group, told us, "Historically, one of Mackie's primary goals has been to offer universally compliant recording tools -- from HUI and Mackie Control Universal to the new Onyx-i Series mixers. Audio engineers want to combine the familiar workflow of an analog mixer with the world's most popular DAWs. Mackie Onyx-i mixers now make this possible."
Pricing and Availability:
Mackie Onyx-i Series Mixers are now available at Mackie authorized dealers worldwide.

Still no official word from Avid/ Digi then.
I wonder why Digi would let Mackie make this? I would imagine that there's reason they would and could break it anytime with a software update.
Surely the copy protection routines are going to be more efficient in Digi/M-Audio hardware than at the driver level too?

These devices use the TC Electronic DICE chipset which is also used in the ProFire 2626. If Mackie can fool ProTools into thinking the Onyx is a ProFire then I'm not sure how M-Audio/Digi will get around this...
Maybe they need help from TC Electronic??
It will be fun to watch this one unfold
