Hello
Anyone had any experience with connecting two Mackie Onyx 1220's together under Mac OS X? On a few old reviews I've found info that it's possible, but says that mac support for that feature is 'coming soon'. Has Mackie sorted this yet does anyone know? Cheers |

OK! Here's the skinny-
(and I COMMEND Mackie Support, for their ONE day response & many replies!)  The Tracktion software wasn't updated by Mackie to support daisy chaining 2 Onyx mixers in Mac OS X because, "Apple put it in Audio MIDI setup (in Applications/Utilities), and we didn’t have to. I was told that the Aggregate Driver has been available since OS 10.2." His prompt reply is true, with the exception that the Aggregate Device Editor was not added to the Audio Midi Setup until OS X 10.4 (Tiger) So I've researched, replied to the Mackie Support fella, and he is following through with a web site update, and possibly getting the Mackie manuals rewritten. I've never had any problems with my Mackie Onyx 1220 and never had to call their support. But I highly commend their email support! And to continue with his added info regarding Mackie's Tracktion software- "Tracktion 2 and 3 will work with the Aggregate Driver in OS ( And Tracktion 2.1.0.11 has always worked fine on my G4 Macs, using 10.3.9 & 10.4, even though my 10.3.9 G4 has no ability to add "aggregate devices". And I don't have a need (or the moola) for more than one Mackie Onyx mixer.  SO! Load 'em up if ya got 'em, and if you've got 10.4 or later, and let us all know how you set up all of that band to get through that width!  If you want more info, search "mac aggregate devices". Thanks for asking, truly, I learned a lot today. This post has been edited by azkid: Thu 18 Sep 2008, 22:50 -------------------- Don't take any noise for granted. With a little rythym, it could be music.
