Anybody got a Mackie Onyx Satellite?
Looking at one as a downgrade to my studio set up to make it more portable, got a couple of questions that I can't find answers for on Google - anyone got one who can help out?

Quick bump in case anyone frequents the Tech section
Try the blue-room.org you will probably have more luck there. Just for info what did you want to know?
Cheers man, shall give that a go! Was just curious to know if it'll work as a standalone unit without being plugged into a computer (I think it will from a quick Google, but wanted to be sure), and whether the base unit will still route audio without the pod part being connected (this I doubt, but can't be sure - would suit my needs perfectly if it did though!).Originally Posted by maltingsaudio
Happy to help manual is here http://www.mackie.com/products/satel...tellite_OM.pdf from it you can use the pod in standalone see page 15,the base station won't function without the pod see page 20
Magic, cheers dude! Feel slightly thick now, I couldn't work it out from the manual...
Take a look at the new Steinberg one as well. It's cheap as anything and the Steinberg interfaces are usually excellent.

Thanks man; the USP of the Mackie will be being able to leave everything (monitors, synth, mics, headphones etc) plugged into the base unit and just whip the pod out if I need to do some location stuff (or just piss off into the bedroom with a guitar while the missus watches trash
I've got one. Yes, the pod works on its own (the whole thing does if you power it direct), but the base doesn't work without the pod.
You're with stupid. ▲
Thanks gents! Right, decision now is whether to plump for the Satellite (when I can find one) or a different small interface plus a monitor controller; think the latter might defeat the object of downsizing though
