So, you wanna use your Onyx-i Series mixer with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8? |
Mackie Onyx-i Series Mixers are qualified by Mackie for use with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8 on both Mac and PC.
At this time, no other Mackie audio interface products are qualified for use with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8.
To use your Onyx-i Mixer with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8, you will need to do the following:
- Register your Onyx-i mixer by visiting my.mackie.com and either setting up a new user account or logging into your existing one
- After registering your mixer (which is free and recommended anyway), you will be prompted to purchase a package that includes the Mackie Universal Driver and Mackie Authorization Application ($49.99 USD) that unlocks your mixer for use with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8. Instructions and purchase options for the driver will be presented at my.mackie.com after you register your Onyx-i Mixer. The driver purchase allows your registered mixer to work with as many supported computers running Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8 as you have access to (Mac or PC)
- Purchase and install Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8 following all of Avid’s® installation guidelines (yeah, we know you know this already, but we gotta say it anyway)
To find out if your computer is compatible with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8, please visit:

From there you will be able to select Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8 and your operating system (Mac, XP, Vista, etc.) from a drop-down box. This will then take you to the latest support info regarding your setup’s compatibility with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8.

Version 1.6 ASIO Driver Installer and Release Notes |
 Download |
This downloadable executable file will install the Onyx-i Series ASIO and WDM drivers. Please read the included release notes for detailed installation instructions and system requirements. |
Mac – Apple Core Audio Driver |
If you plan to use any other major DAW (aside from Pro Tools® M-Powered™ 8… see above) then there is no download needed, as Onyx-i Series mixers work using Mac’s built-in Core Audio driver.
Important Note: For optimal performance, turn your mixer on (or power cycle) after you have booted (or rebooted) your Mac. We expect to release a firmware patch in the coming weeks that eliminates the need to do this. |
