There are a couple of users who occasionally participate on the User's
Forum at the Mackie web site, but mostly it's been pretty quiet. I've
been trying to get Mackie to send me one (on their nickel, of course)
so I can become an expert on it and answer questions from people like
you. But so far they've not accepted my generous offer.

Ask your dealer. What? You don't have a dealer with a dxb?

I'm from Croatia and it's not so simple. I contact my dealer via phone but I
still don't know price for dxb.

It may take a while yet before they get geared up over there. I'd been
noticing that most of the posters on the Mackie forum who were having
trouble with their dxb consoles were from Europe and asked about this
when I was chatting with the Mackie folks at the NAB show. He admitted
that their support structure over there wasn't up to their US
standards and that they were holding back on delivering more consoles
over there until they were geared up to support them properly.

Just to give you a ballpark idea, people in the US seem to be paying
around $12,000 for a dxb-200 with whatever I/O configuration they
need. The cost is variable depending on which I/O cards you need,
probably +/- about $1,000.

Thanks a lot, now I have enough info. So I must receive european price from
my dealer before I make some decisions.
Thanks again.

Mike
Can you tell me (if you know) other solution for my studio. I am newbie and
want to equipped a little house studio. I work on Apple Macintosh and use
Logic audio for recording (sometime I use Soundrack and Garage band) and
working with midi files. I want to equipped my studio in way that I have
posibility to record multichannel (for example 5-6 voices via 5-6 mic on
separate tracks and piano or drums, bass etc also on separate tracks), and
posibiliti to make this on laptop also.
Sorry on bad english

I'm not Mike, but what interfadce are you now using with Logic? I'm
running a Metric Halo Mobile IO 2882+DSP with a 2002 TiBook 1 GHz w/1 GB
RAM, with Logic mostly. Now under OSX the MIO's Console offers a
<Record> panel that is the most direct computer recording I've
experienced. Inputs show up on left with a button by each one, there are
<Play>, <Stop> and <Record> buttons, facility to set the record-to and
playback-from folder(s), and current recording time length plus disk
time remaining. Select inputs and hit <Rec> and we're rolling. I like
this. It most reminds me of the directness of analog recording.

Not a problem. My Croatian is completely unintelligible. <g>

There are any number of multi-channel interfaces that will work on
your laptop, most of them connecting via Firewire. Presonus, MOTU, and
M-Audio are probably the most popular. You can get a fairly compact
box with 8 mic inputs from all of those vendors. That will get your
audio into your computer, and you'll do the mixing within the program
of your choice. Mackie makes a few control surfaces that give you a
set of knobs and sliders if you prefer hands-on mixing.
