ONYX BLACKJACK MIXER PLUS
Blackbird also incorporates the key functions you’d expect to find in a monitor controller such as studio, main and alternative outputs with independent level control and source selection plus a pair of headphone outputs, again with independent level control and source selection. Furthermore the Blackbird can function as a stand-alone eight-channel mic preamp with up to 96kHz ADAT S/MUX II outputs. There are also numerous sophisticated features such as wordclock I/O, JetPLL jitter elimination technology, an eight-channel ADAT I/O expander port and the Blackbird Control DSP Matrix Mixer that can route any input to any output. The same high-quality converters are used supporting sampling resolutions up to 24-bit, 96kHz. Again you get zero-latency monitoring, in both mono and stereo, as well as a bundled copy of Tracktion 3. Two of the preamps are designated Super Channels and benefit from low-cut switches, DI inputs and insert points.
ONYX BLACKJACK MIXER SOFTWARE
Don’t have a DAW? Don’t worry, as Mackie’s Tracktion 3 recording software is included.įor those whose needs are on a different scale, the Onyx Blackbird rack-mount FireWire recording interface (£499 inc VAT) provides 16 inputs and outputs, eight of the inputs being equipped with Onyx mic preamps with switchable phantom power.
ONYX BLACKJACK MIXER PC
Blackjack is bus-powered, which makes it very portable, and it works with pretty much any Mac or PC audio software. Its Onyx preamps include phantom power, it has built-in DI inputs, and there are separate level control for monitors and headphones. However, other ranging factors, such as the bonus value and the casinos rating, have Onyx Blackjack 2x2 been added into Onyx Blackjack 2x2 the mix as well. It won’t separate out the microphone, the guitar or bass, the keyboard, and the drum machine, so you can’t go back and edit these parts later.Mackie have just announced a pair of new audio interfaces incorporating their respected Onyx mic preamps and teamed with highly-specified Cirrus Logic A-D/D-A converters capable of 114dB dynamic range (A-weighted).The Onyx Blackjack is a two-in, two-out compact USB recording interface (£210 inc VAT) designed for desktop use, and it incorporates zero-latency input monitoring in either mono or stereo. Bear in mind that the recording will be a stereo mix of all the instruments. You can record this into any app, including the Music Memos app, although you might prefer to use the excellent AUM app for more flexibility (and a stronger input signal, oddly). The Go does a decent job of mixing the incoming instruments and creating a stereo output, which is then sent to the iPhone for recording. The Mackie Onyx Blackjack is a combined USB audio interface and monitor-level controller aimed at those who only need to record one or two inputs at a time, but who want the preamp and digital conversion quality of Mackie's larger Onyx interfaces and mixers. With the Go, the volume switches are disabled, but the graphic still appears. It doesn’t even show the little volume graphic.Īlternatively, an interface can use the volume buttons as usual, in which case the graphic appears, when you use the iPhone’s own buttons, and the volume level changes. In this case, using the iPhone’s volume switches does nothing. Here’s a bit more detail on this: When you plug in an audio interface, it can disable the built-in volume controls, in favor of a hardware knob on the device. Another oddity is that the iPhone’s volume switches still appear to work, although they actually don’t.
