Yes, I do. Mics that require 48V phantom power are usually condenser microphones. In mixers from the ProFX series, when the 48V phantom power switch is engaged, this extra voltage is available to all channels. Unlike dynamic microphones, which don't use phantom power, phantom power is effectively invisible to balanced microphones that don't use it.

The preamplifiers and EQ for the Mackie preamps were added to my Lexicon audio interface, adding more noise. I wanted to use the EQ for the Mackie preamps direct into the software instead of equating it in the in-software. The v2 series do come with USB on the 8 channel and above, but when recording with headsets it isn't very convenient)
The new ProFX10 v3 series makes it so much easier. This is the ideal environment to play acoustic guitar or vocals in a mood of perfect calm. There are three of them There is a very nice sounding EQ in the band, and the compressor is a nice touch. There is a noticeable difference in the GIGFX effects since GIGFX 2. 0, and there are more of them too! These mic pre's can record almost anything you connect to the Onyx as long as it has 60 db of gain. My old SM58 was a great choice for testing and I recorded some vocal tracks using it. **For me, the most important reason I changed to this new v3 model is to be able to monitor The "blend" circuit and knob in the software allows you to play back a previously recorded track while recording a new one, just as you would in a Using the blend knob, you can hear exactly how much of your live recording you want to hear in your headset and how much of the recorded track you want to hear. In addition to the studio speakers volume control, there is a separate "control room" volume dial. Finally, on this model (as well as the ProFX6), they have removed the sliding faders in favor of level knobs. My personal preference is to never use sliding faders on small boards, because I find them difficult to fine tune while sitting at my As an added benefit, they collect dirt more readily. This is the perfect tool for mixing live shows (I'm excited about using it in the future)
Highly.
If you are planning on connecting your computer to this via USB, you should not buy this. You won't be able to use it right out of the package. As well as being able to plug into my guitar plug-in and use it as a DAW interface, I was also looking for a mixer which could connect to my guitar plug-in and my DAW, Ableton. Click here to visit our website Please select products from the menu above Profx6v3 all the way at the bottom). After that I tried using it as an IO for Ableton and the inputs and outputs simply won't work. I would not recommend buying this mixer and will save you the headache. FRAUDULENTLY TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE WHOLE SYSTEM FOR HOURS BEFORE I realised the whole thing wouldn't work. I am returning it for a 2nd time, as I bought it once before to run on my mac and it does not work without any issues on my mac, either.
Using my MacBook OS 10, I got all mixer functions, inputs, outputs, and other features to work, as well as getting all mixer inputs and outputs to work perfectly. Output 4ch MIDI setting at 48,000 Hz, Audio MIDI setup at 48kHz Configure (bottom R) as Multichannel and Stereo, L on P3, R on P4 with real-time 24-bit processing as desired. Using Audacity, I recorded and played the track well. The problem stemmed from my attempt to download and install the Windows 10 driver on my Windows 10 PC, but despite following Mackie's directions and experimenting with the mixer, it would not properly play audio through it. In my opinion, it is a 5 for Mac, despite my lack of understanding of the 2 Track playback system on Windows 10, and I rate it a 0 for Windows 8. Two out of five stars are assigned to the average As the Mackie ProFX6v3 is not covered by the User Manual, this manual is essentially worthless. The program appears to work with both Windows and Macs, but it does not describe how to use it specifically on either. Guess I will have to learn from my mistakes!.
It does not work perfectly due to a few limitations. As you would expect from Mackie, it has fantastic sound. The world is very quiet right now. Although I have little experience with this particular field, the effects sound interesting to me. A solid build quality has been achieved. There is no doubt that this thing will keep running for decades or longer. It is the USB input channels that I find problematic. A total of two outputs are sent It is great to have the capability to blend the CR and headphones. Tracking and recording can be done in this way, where you hear the playback from a computer but do not hear it in the recording. The problem is. Rather than having a toggle that allows you to use the channel from the mains, why not just have a switch. The frustration is unbearable.
And finally, we get to the third part USB ports with 4 ports each. The mixer allows you to switch between them on channels 9/10. In that case, you can use either a Stereo Mini or a 3-Wire input USB ports with 4 ports each. The only difference is that this is Spinal Tap size. There is no way to expose both the 1- and the 2-inputs through the Mac drivers The two next sentences are 3 and 2 At the same time, four inputs are available. MacOS Audio/MIDI allows users to switch between 4 and 2 channels with a cumbersome process, which effectively makes this Mixer 2x2, not 2x4. As a result of this, I will do the following It's somewhere around here that I use the headphone outputs from the Mac to run into the nine or ten channel of the mixer. Is that so? Mackie did not bother producing a driver for their Mini Jack cable, so I need to use a noisily noisy cable instead of a nice, clean digital channel? It is painful.
After purchasing the 10 channel version I experienced multiple crashes and issues, and ultimately needed to rescue the system by restoring a backup. I then ordered the 12 channel version to verify what might be going on and everything worked fine. I then made the mistake of re-importing, which resulted in the same issue. Checking the 10 channel version, now I am crashing all over again, when trying to restore, I am experiencing major issues. Mackie, you've got to get your act together!.
My Denon DJ MCX800 is connected to a Mackie ProFXv3 System. I would like to say a few words about the Mackie Professional FXV3. I think it is the best piece of recording equipment I have You have to buy this Brand New Product. It's the best thing for any home studio, plus it has an intuitive interface "Once You Read The Manual" lol. I'm not getting paid to write this.
