Re: More mixer: Mackie Onyx or...?

[Paul Richards <paulrichard10@adelphia.net>]

I haven't found the interface to be unstable ONCE I got it working. There 
were IRQ conflict issues that I encountered and initially I wasn't 
inclined to mess around with debugging the problem. Then, I sold off one 
of my pieces of gear (LINE6 Guitarport), uninstalled the software and 
voila! the interface worked fine. So, Mackie's tech support FAQ spoke 
truth.

Short of crappy software, I don't know why an integrated firewire 
interface in a mixer would be any different than a stand-alone firewire 
interface.
