To enable use with Pro Tools M-Powered 8, users will need to purchase the Mackie Universal Driver upgrade at www.mackie.com. Once the driver is downloaded and installed, the Onyx 820i, 1220i, 1620i and 1640i mixers can be used with Avid Pro Tools M-Powered 8 software.
"For years, Mackie customers have wanted to combine the familiar workflow of an analogue mixer with the world's most popular DAW," said John Boudreau, VP of Loud's Music Gear group. "Through our newly-signed agreement with Avid, Mackie's Onyx-i mixers now make this possible."
Chris Gahagan, senior vice president of products at Avid said, "Avid has made openness a key component of its ongoing strategy, and this agreement with Loud is a perfect example of how we continue to open up our ecosystem. As joint developers of the HUI protocol, Avid and Loud have a history of working productively together, and we're pleased to be working together on this latest endeavour to provide our customers with more choice and flexibility when it comes to unleashing their creativity."
