¿Al grabar multipista no procesa el ecualizador?. ¿Al grabar digital aún mantiene algo analógico o debería ponerle una interfaz behringer uca222 para grabar analógico a digital para usar la mezcla de sus eq?.
I would like to see more of an angle. That would also leave more room for a phase reverse switch and a better ergonomic design. I would also like it with more of the Onyx 1640i features. I also need ADAT light pipes.
I’ve been running mine in studio as a replacement for a PreSonus, I have no complaints. I haven’t hooked it up to a DAW yet. Just running in-house mains. 10/10 recommend.
¿Lo usas grabando a la sd?. ¿Se puede escuchar un audio de la sd y grabar otro audio en la sd o escuchar un metrónomo y grabar en la sd múltiples veces audios, no me refiero a multipista?.
Very informative video covering the features. I'm considering this model over my current ProFx12v3. I see the Onyx has a (L-R) button bellow the main FX slider, as well as under MON-1, and under MON-2. On the other hand, a Profx12v3 has both a (1-2) and (L-R) button on each channel. Under the FX slider itself there is only a (1-2) button. Under the SUB 1-2 slider there is a (L-R) button. Are the MON-1 and MON-2 sliders, basically the same thing as SUB 1-2...just with more individual control? Is there a simple explanation as to why the Onxy16 doesn't have or require a (1-2) button? Or is it because its controlled elsewhere on the Onyx16? I understand the (L-R) needs to be pressed to hear a given channel, but still haven't grasped how this works. I didn't hear you mention the (L-R) buttons next to the three FX, MON1, and MON2 sliders.
interesting mixer. My only complain is the SD stereo mix recording instead of multi track. It would be a great stand alone recorder when needed without the need of a computer.
How would this do connected to 2 Mackie Thump 215XTs and used for outdoor live sound? I work at a day camp that has a talent show and puts on a play every year.
So, if the L-R button at the bottom is not engaged it does not go to the Main Mix .. so where does it end up? I am trying to understand the difference between the Mute and the L-R button. There are no sub mixes on this mixer like the VLZ series 16 Channel mixers which is a bit of a let down.
@@melodychest9020 thanks for the response. I have an old 1642 which I loved. I might upgrade to a new one but not sure what would differ. I took a little hiatus so I forgot a few things lol playing catch up
@@DexterityNJ If ur 1642 is old it may not have the ONYX clean preamps, depends how old. The new version has XLR main outs and the pots are all colour coded and overall a more polished finish. On the 1642 the channel input sockets are on the top and all the inserts, auxes, subs, outs etc in the rear. There is the more comprehensive 1604 VLZ4 which has 16 preamps, 16 inserts etc all in the rear with TS/TRS sockets only. No XLR main outs like in the 1642. If u need more than 10 preamps that's the go. Cheers.
@@melodychest9020 thanks so much for the input. You know what. I do have the 1604, mixed up my numbers. Sorry! But it is still old. At least 15 years old, if not a lot older. Looks new but old. This is a shot in the dark. Would it be dumb to get the mackie onyx 16 but a separate motu 828 interface? I still want the hands on mixer side of things (and option to use with computer off) but feel like the motu is a way better interface. Just not sure if it stupid lol. Some how I would incorporate a dj controller into the work flow, akai mpc and a few other pieces of gear.
@@GaryCrase-wz9sythe mentioned phase button is a button which basically reverse the phase. Hold on… let me explain. While recording, there’s chances that e.g due to positioning to the recording mics, what recorded into the DAW could be the same phase (for now, you treat it as same pattern). Same pattern cancelled out each other resulting when playing the audio, no audio is being heard. The button reverse the phase making it no cancellation occurred. During live, you can listen to what you are recording also known as monitor. When you are monitoring and realised that phase is being cancelled (could be some cancelled, not always the whole recording) and you didn’t hear what should be there, the button will do the magic to reverse it. The general idea is as such. (Anyone feel free to correct me)
What would you suggest. Connect this directly into a mac or connect it to a motu audio interface then to mac? Is there any benefit to using this with an interface? I know noob question :)
Can you assign what record to a channel like a TASCAM model 12? It looks like all it does is record everything. Been trying to figure this out beforehand.
Well... at least it's cheap at around 800€. So there's that. I haven't used analog mixer in like a decade though... digital ones are so cheap and good these days that I just don't see analog anymore, unless it's an old SSL or some such in a large studio that costs hundreds of thousands... and even then people just mix int he box because digital offers stuff you need for the work of today... like recall. Oh well :D
Realmente en todo daw pudes guardar preset y cadenas de efectos, la consola digital tiene el daw y efectos incluidos. Es lo mismo que guardar tus presets y usarlos cuándo necesites, también puedes crear plantillas para los daws, en fin hace lo mismo y con una consola analógica es más económico la inversión. No compro una digital por esto mismo. @@aaronniehaus2224
Have the 12 and it’s just amazing. The clarity is what I love most. Zero noise. I just recorded our next CD on it and it’s flawless.

Hey thanks for sharing this. Found it very helpful.
Easy to use mixer, down side is no groups, no EQ on the BT channel and the aux 1 & 2 master is on faders
Great stuff Gear. !!!! Just no Gain, no Trim for ALL Stereo Line Inputs ! (except BlueTooth channel 17/18, 13/14 on the Onyx12)
If i have mics my drumkit, will each input be sent to the DAW? So basically does it have internal audio interface to send each channel to the DAW?
Yes multitrack

I like it am using the profxv22 mixer aim sertifice thanks

It would take too much storage space for multi track. Would need to install a flash drive. Added $$&
Usa un metrónomo con móvil, graba individual en la sd y luego editas en un daw. En algún lugar que no tengas pc o grabas al móvil.
Thanks for the video.
¿Los canales stereo tienen el L como señal mono y estos canales también se graban en el multitrack usb?.
Very useful video!
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT VIDEO. ...thanks... need a bit more info re: Main USB Send Switch
This is super cool. I'm just learning about stuff like this. What exactly would you use this device for?
Thank you for the video :)
How would this do connected to 2 Mackie Thump 215XTs and used for outdoor live sound? I work at a day camp that has a talent show and puts on a play every year.
Is that white noise in the background from the mixer? It's pretty noticeable.
So, if the L-R button at the bottom is not engaged it does not go to the Main Mix .. so where does it end up? I am trying to understand the difference between the Mute and the L-R button.
There are no sub mixes on this mixer like the VLZ series 16 Channel mixers which is a bit of a let down.
Did u ever figure this out?
@@DexterityNJ Nope! I think the 1642 VLZ 4 is a more comprehensive mixer with the ONYX preamps anyways and I am using it. Best home studio mixer imo.

would it be possible to set up iem with this mixer ?
It doesn’t have a phase switch on each channel that’s a hard pass for me.
Which model are u looking at that have phase switch button?
@@Jovanmusictime I haven’t ever seen a Mackie mixer with a phase reverse on each channel. That’s why I have rack mounted preamps.
@@SONORSQ2guy thanks for sharing.
New to mixer terminology...Id like to know what is meant by the "Phase Switch" ? Thank you...

Can someone please explain me where to find the RecArm buttons ? (Or how to arm the tracks for recording and/or play-back)....thanks !
Does the mixer have a limiter? If not, how does it prevent over modulation?
Can it be hooked up to dj controller
I have same question.
What would you suggest. Connect this directly into a mac or connect it to a motu audio interface then to mac? Is there any benefit to using this with an interface? I know noob question :)
it IS an audio interface, so, there's no reason to do that, your just adding cable length.
If you need ADAT light pipes you will need a MOTU 828es.
How is that compared to Zoom LiveTrak L12, L20, etc?
Can you assign what record to a channel like a TASCAM model 12? It looks like all it does is record everything. Been trying to figure this out beforehand.
Yes you can
How do you do multitrack recording with this?
You need to use a computer if you want to do multi track. unlike tascam model series, this mixer only record stereo out to the sd card
Well... at least it's cheap at around 800€. So there's that.
I haven't used analog mixer in like a decade though... digital ones are so cheap and good these days that I just don't see analog anymore, unless it's an old SSL or some such in a large studio that costs hundreds of thousands... and even then people just mix int he box because digital offers stuff you need for the work of today... like recall.

I prefer analog. The Behringer x32 has failed me twice and caused chaos at a gig
