The quality of this brand is great and it's not expensive. I am gearing up only with this equipment.

Regalo de cumpleaños de un compi. Lo usa junto a un mac. Funciona muy bien. Calidad precio inmejorable

Estuve varias semanas buscando con el presupuesto bajito en Amazon y encontré esta excelente interfaz. Conectividad de plug&play instantánea con mi Macbook y sin ningun problema. La uso para grabar ideas de bajo eléctrico para mis proyectos. Se siente bastante sólida, buenos componentes electrónicos, buen sonido y muy portátil pues cabe perfectamente en mi mochila. Recomendable.

Mackie Onyx Producer 2x2 Audio Interface. Purchased on Amazon India from seller Sonotone.Background - I was interested in this product Mackie Onyx Producer 2x2 Audio Interface after getting poor experience with Vault AI SOLO! Vault AI SOLO did not understand Windows control panel sound input monitoring settings and always listened-back on speakers no matter what were the settings on it, in DAW as well as in Windows 10!Pros - At 5999 INR Mackie Onyx Producer is a full featured value for money product. The sound quality is quite good for home recording. There’s no noise in signal. I am an amateur so can’t comment about studio quality. I plug in my electric guitar and use Guitar Rig 5 Amp Sim on Windows 10. I am at 85% gain with Hi-Z on. After 90% it gets to add crackling and noise which is normal.On Windows 10 without drivers the product just gets detected as Input Output device in Windows sound control panel. But it gets its full life after installing the Mackie drivers that are available on Mackie website.At 24Bits 48KHz 128 samples I am getting about 5ms input and 5ms output latency which is quite acceptable for amateur work, on Ryzen 5 with 16GB RAM on Windows 10 64.While Mackies’ own ASIO driver is good, you can also opt for third-party options like ASIO4ALL or KoordASIO as well if required. They also work very well with this interface. The interface obeys the Windows 10 Sound Control Panel settings correctly. I am on 64bit 21H2.While it supports Midi In Out I have no experience with that so can’t comment on it at all.Mackie’s own control panel is good but except selecting your device & adjusting sample size, there’s no real need to do any more adjustments therein.Observations - One thing I find lacking on Audio Interfaces is that they do not have any power on/off button. Most modern desktop PC PSUs these days enter standby mode when you shut down Windows. They still provide 5V to USB ports, LAN and other internal circuitry and hence if you do not turn off mains the Interface remains somewhat powered on. While the USB LED turns off on this device, other indicators like Hi-Z or 48V (If were pressed) continue to glow. So on/off button would have been a great addition.Another observation I have is that the Hi-Z or 48V are not exactly toggle buttons. Though their design is elegant, they return to normal position each time they are pressed. So they seem to be electronically controlled inside like a Latching or Momentary push switch method. To visually know that Hi-Z is engaged is to check the glowing LED. The button remains in same position. So in future if the LED fails there will be a bit of inconvenience to find out if Hi-Z is engaged or not. A toggle push button could have been a simpler option.Also note that while the amazon page says ProTools, it has been discontinued by Mackie. So in your package you will only get Waveform OEM license. (Jul-2023) However I already knew it thru my pre-sales interaction with the India dealer Sonotone.Sonotone & Mackie APAC center have been greatly supportive over last few days for my pre and post sales queries.Verdict - Overall go for it. Great value for money. See various photos and screenshots for further details.

I bought it as a cheap replacement for a GREAT interface - Zoom U44 which I absolutely loved but which after several years of flawless work with Win10 laptop started having problems (system was not recognizing it after some random amount of time - from 3hrs to 3 mins). I think it was one of Win10 updates so I still keep U44 around but I needed some reliable and CHEAP replacement so I went with Mackie.It works - I like sound quality from U44 better but Mackie it OK for my specific purposes - home recording of electric/acoustic guitar and vocal - done as jazz hobbyist with zero pretentions to being a pro. It had some weird issue once or twice after switching between Reaper, BIAB and BIAS FX standalone but simple reboot fixed it. It works fine with the three aforementioned pieces of software.The two issues that caused 4-star ranking are:1. wimpy output - I use Presonus monitors and U44 could drive them fine but Mackie for some reason needs volume quite a bit - 2/3 of the way. And it is not me - I am not going deaf. So if for some reason you need a lot of volume then Mackie may not be your best bet. It has enough volume for normal work - mixing etc. but it is a bit weird that you have to crank it up.2. finding the correct gain level for your inputs is a bit harder than it was on U44. And when it overdrives it does in an ugly way - very scratchy - U44 had almost amp like dirt. Not a huge deal - I keep my setup connected the same way for long stretches but if I was using different sound sources then it would be somewhat annoying.If I was buying a completely new interface I think I would look elsewhere but in my case it was a cheap (and hopefully temporary) replacement for U44 and it does the job fine.

Paired it with an AT2035 mic without problems.Setting up Ableton and all other applications wasn't a problem either, even recorded my guitar (Schecter Demon 6) without any issues.Great quality, do recommend it for that price!

Purchased this unit in October 2018 (Producer 2-2) To replace my previous M-Audio interface that was some 16 years old, which I use for home recording (vocals/guitars/amps) I was interested in purchasing one sooner but frequently found I was having a hard time deciding which unit would be best, based on professional reviews as well as customer reviews (and weeding through those to make sure the lower-starred reviews are from people who know what they're talking about).I was drawn to this unit because at the time it was fairly new, and actually didn't have a lot of reviews, but one reviewer who was sent one to test out left a very favorable, comprehensive review. I was also drawn to the rugged aspect of it as sometimes I travel with it.Installation was straightforward, drivers were easy to get. I can't speak to the included software as I already have software I prefer to use (Reaper), but I had no issues getting the unit configured and working with my setup and getting right to work. I use Windows 10 64 bit and have never had issues with recognition or connection to either of my computers. Great low latency, and between the driver setttings and the DAW it's easy to tweak it if you feel the need to refine it. I have and would recommend this unit.

I paired this with an Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Mic for streaming and Voice Over work. The metal case provides an incredibly sturdy feel, and there is little to no knob wobble. Overall construction is fantastic.Even as an entry level interface it's very limited in it's functionality but the sound quality is better than most in it's league and ease of use could not be better. There is very little noise introduced into the signal when recording and is the perfect interface for a live stream if you just want to introduce a better quality mic to your set up.

You're reading this review so I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest this might be the first piece of Mackie gear you've ever considered? No? Well then for those of you who have other Mackie gear I'll say this little gizmo is up to their usual standards. Nuff said, right?So now that I really *am* talking to a first-time Mackie purchaser I'll tell you that you simply can't go wrong buying their gear (and no, I don't work for Mackie). At some point, someone high up in this company issued an edict that said, "We shall not build crap." The regular Joes and Janes unquestionably got the message. I've been buying Mackie products off and on for over twenty years and not one single piece of equipment (of theirs) has ever let me down.This little Onyx Artist 1-2 is no exception. The knobs are super heavy and feel great. They're sturdy and responsive. I haven't tested this theory, but I suspect I could drop it from quite a height and it would keep on working. It's built like a tank.I bought this to drive my Mackie studio monitors from my Macbook Pro. All I had to do was purchase a USB-C to USB-B cable and plug it in. No drivers, no fuss, it just worked right out of the box. I'm not even plugging any inputs into it but it's nice to know I have a few ports when I'll want them.If you're just looking for a nice preamp so you can go from your computer to some studio monitors look no further. The only reason not to buy this particular model is if you need more inputs. In that case, look first at Mackie's other USB interfaces and if you can't find something that fits your workflow take a look at Focusrite's products (Saffire, etc.). They make a decent gear too, but nobody in the audio industry comes close to Mackie.Enjoy!
