While we probably wouldn't go quite that far, they certainly are impressive.Ĭonversion is via highly specified Cirrus Logic chips, and power for the circuitry comes from the USB port, so there's no need for a separate PSU. Mackie claim their Onyx preamps rival the most expensive boutique mic preamps for quality. There is no pad or low‑cut filter on this version but there's plenty of headroom, and impressive signal transparency with up to 60dB of gain. The Onyx mic preamps, which have simple metering in the form of a dual‑colour signal/overload LED, are the same as those used in Mackie's Onyx‑series mixers, and our reviews of these products have always included favourable comments about their sound. FeaturesĪt the rear, we find a USB connection, a pair of monitor outputs on quarter‑inch jacks and the two 'combi' jack/XLR inputs. The only thing missing is an S/PDIF digital input you may not need it very often, but they come in handy for importing DAT tapes or other digital formats. The monitor outputs are on balanced quarter‑inch jacks, governed by the Monitor level control, and there's a headphone output and accompanying level control on the front panel. The Blackjack features two Onyx preamps, having mic/line inputs on 'combi' jacks/XLRs, with individual DI switching for using the line jacks as high-impedance inputs, and switchable global phantom power. The Blackjack comes with a bundled copy of Mackie's Tracktion 3 software, which provides a pretty painless way to get into computer recording if you're not already wedded to a particular DAW.

While the Blackjack is class compliant and will work without the need for drivers, PC users running Windows are advised to download and install the latest ASIO driver from for the best performance.

The Blackjack works with both Mac and PC computers and is compatible with all the major DAW software, other than those software products tied to the manufacturer's own hardware. The folded‑steel case has a built‑in rear leg so that it sits at a sensible angle on the desk, and all the connections are kept at the back, out of the way. The unit is designed for desktop use, and Mackie's designers have clearly gone for simplicity, quality and very robust packaging.
The Mackie Onyx Blackjack is a combined USB audio interface and monitor-level controller aimed at those who only need to record one or two inputs at a time, but who want the preamp and digital conversion quality of Mackie's larger Onyx interfaces and mixers. I don't remember having all these issues when I was trying to set up my stuff, but I could be wrong.Mackie's Blackjack is the smallest interface yet to feature their acclaimed Onyx mic preamps.

He's running Windows 7 64 bit, I'm using the Mackie as the input/output as I can't seem to get it to work with DirectSound or Waveout or even ASIO.įor sims there's a bunch and I don't think it's those.these problems persist whatever it is I'm using, from the pad version of the TSE X50, down to the free LePou stuff. There is, for some reason, even when using sims, a DI track or clean track running underneath the distorted track and I don't know why. Using 8/1024 for buffers at 16 bit, which is the same I have on my recording laptop and use with my AxeII with no issues. I can't get it below that and I don't know what else to do. Got a friend that had a stroke a while back and he's a noob to recording.I grabbed him the Mackie Blackjack and Reaper last week, and went over yesterday to try and hook him up some some amp sims. I've used the same setup with no problems, just switching out whichever unit I'm using as the interface, and everything always works fine. I've used Reaper for the last couple years with no issues, going from a POD XT to an HD500 to a GSP1101 up to an AxeFx II with no issues. Was last here a couple years ago.you guys helped out then and I'm hoping you can do it again.
