Hello. The ar8 is an excellent mixer for what I want it to do. It's going to be a workhorse where I'm gonna use hardware sound modules boss, then record to logic pro x.
Can your SD card record other inputs? You have to properly format the card before putting it in the board as there is no way to format it in the board.
Can you hook the USB up to a computer and use it with a DJ program like virtual DJ where you can have the master on one channel and the cue deck on another?
Ok have connected the mic, Phantom Power is on, SD Card is in, the mixer is powered on, volume on channel 1 is up. I am using a MXL BCD-1 Broadcast Dynamic Microphone and I did clear the SD card before inserting it. It seems the mic is not picking up any sound at all. Oh and I also have headphones connected. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
I haven't used it with GarageBand. It comes with its own recording software that records all the channels. And when hooked up to Adobe Audition, it tracked out all the channels as well. I would imagine that GarageBand and Logic would do the same.
Yes, it does when you plug it into a computer via USB. Presonus has their own software, but you can hook it up to any DAW and map the tracks to channels.
Thanks for the vid! Will be using this board for my upcoming pod

Man, I was struggling trying to figure out the USB sound passthrough. It turns out it's a big ol' button. Thanks for the video!

Make sure no Mute or PFL button are on.
Do you need a power amp for these?
When you use the USB output into the Mac how many individual channels stream into garageband or Logic? All 8 inputs? or more?

When I connect headphones I don't get any sound. Is there a switch or solo function I need to activate? Peace.
Make sure the PFL button isn't engaged on channel you aren't using.
can it do multi track recording?
Yes, it does when you plug it into a computer via USB. Presonus has their own software, but you can hook it up to any DAW and map the tracks to channels.
Presonus
Dont buy. POS product
Agreed! We phased these out a while back. The preamps are very low.
