Has anyone used the Mackie Onyx mixers yet? I was talking with some people who have bachelors in recording technology and they agreed that this was the only mixer to spend your money on in the current market. The pre's are supposedly top quality and have an amazing warmth and depth that you can't find in another portable type mixer. Built in efx, simultaneous multitrack recording via firewire expansion unit.
So what's the reality of these mixers as opposed to comissioned employees hype? Worth taking a loan on?
