Onyx 1640 Live Mix and Multitrack Recording to a
Laptop via FireWire
This hookup diagram demonstrates how you can do a live multitrack re-
cording to a laptop using the FireWire card. The FireWire card provides a
digital direct output for each channel, and the L/R Mix. The channel outputs
are just after the GAIN control and are not affected by the channel inserts,
EQ controls, or fader moves.
Two channels are returned to the Onyx mixer for monitoring through the
headphones.

Keyboard Synths directly to a Laptop
The FireWire card allows you to record directly from the Onyx mixer to a
laptop or DAW without the need for a computer audio interface. The two-
track mixdown is returned to the Onyx mixer and can be monitored through
the Control Room Outputs (in the control room) and the Main Outs (in the
Studio).
