it could have something to do with the serial number of your unit, it's possible that after a certain date of manufacture units will run as you suggest, but ones made before that won't I've heard rumors to that effect, too.Īs far as I know, ASIO4ALL would only be needed if you were trying to run aggregate 003 serial firewire mixers (same as trying to run any aggregate audio devices in windows that do not have native support). That said, I would love to believe you, cause I don't care what else is out there, that interface is all I'd ever want.
#ONYX BLACKJACK DRIVER#
I'd love to believe that all it takes to use the Mackie Onyx Blackbird under Win 10 is loading the last driver and running under Windows compatibility mode, but to the best of my knowledge, that has hardly been everyone's experience.
I grabbed the Blackbird Control v4.1 GUI v1.1.0 driver from Mackie's Onyx Driver Matrix linked as "PC V4.1." This appears to cover Onyx-i, Firewire Option Card, Blackbird, Blackjack and Satellite models in case other users might find this helpful.Uh, I would find that a lot more than helpful, I would find that thrilling! However, maybe you could report back in a week or so to see if any gremlins appear?
#ONYX BLACKJACK DRIVERS#
After installing the drivers (in Windows 7 Compatibility to be sure) and a reboot, the Blackbird seems to be running perfectly. I remembered that the Blackbird had it's own driver/mixer/controller - see link below. My machine recognized all the hardware but was unable to have any signal flow. I installed the PCIe card, the universal drivers and connected the Blackbird. A great option, covering lots of bases.Thanks for everybody contributing to this awesome trove of knowledge! After picking up a PCIe firewire card for $20, I'm up and running with an Onyx Blackbird.
#ONYX BLACKJACK PORTABLE#
With its brick outhouse construction and USB bus power, it's an ideal portable companion to a laptop but equally at home in a fixed location where it will handle all manner of audio sound sources with aplomb.
There are plenty of two-by-two audio interfaces on the market, many of them a lot less expensive, but the Blackjack exudes quality. If you are looking for 96kHz recording you'll need to look elsewhere but if 44.1kHz and 48kHz are your preference, this Mackie has little to fault it. There's bags of headroom available and we obtained clean and detailed recordings with both mic and guitar signals. Onyx mic preamps coupled with Cirrus Logic converters ought to be a recipe for quality sound and the Blackjack doesn't disappoint. You can also switch between stereo and mono monitoring of the input signal so, if you are only using one input channel, you can hear it right up the middle rather than in one ear only. With separate volume controls for the monitor and phone outputs, it's very easy to set up the monitoring exactly as you need it and there's no need to be concerned about any latency delay as there's an input monitor knob that facilitates zero-latency monitoring by routing the analogue signal directly from the preamps to the monitoring outputs. The gain knob on each channel is linked to an LED that lights green to show a healthy signal and blinks red to show any overload. All signals are catered for, phantom power for condenser mics being globally applied from a front panel switch while the jack component of the combi sockets will handle line level and Hi-Z instrument signals so you can plug guitars and basses straight in - each channel having its own switch for selecting between line and Hi-Z mode.
