H8000FW and Mackie Onyx Firewire

[synthtrumpet]

Just bought my H8000FW yesterday….
In case you are thinking about trying this: I have had
success interfacing with a Mackie Onyx Firewire
using ASIO4ALL v2.8.

That is really cool!

Can you please describe the installation steps you followed, just for future reference.

thanks

hello,
yes….very cool.
installation is very straightforward.

I had the Mackie Onyx/firewire already installed
on my p.c.
Installed ASIO4ALL and this program readily recognized
the Mackie Firewire I/O (I am running at 48kHz sample rate).
I enabled all of the Mackie I/O channels in ASIO4ALL.

Installed H8000FW driver and ASIO4ALL recognized all
firewire I/O. Enabled all of these. I haven't tried anything
fancy with buffer settings etc. and have just been using what
default settings ASIO4ALL came up with.

I have been using Plogue Bidule to 'wire up'
VST to hardware etc. (This program is very cool…).

So I have the best of both worlds.  An analog mixer
(I am also using H8000FW analog and TimeFactor
in aux send/returns on the Mackie) so I can twist
and turn dials and move faders. Digital connections
via Firewire.

By the way….TimeFactor v2 software is very cool
with the feedback now >100%.  Very nifty for the
'flying saucer' sounds (vintage delay).

I hope this explanation helps.
