Hey, what's up everyone at NAMM, it's Mike Shinoda.
I'm recording this message from my home studio.
You may not know this, but Mackie and I go way back.
I remember we used the Onyx 1220
to write and record songs while we were on tour.
I think that was like during the Hybrid Theory
touring cycle, making songs for Meteora.
So almost 20 years ago, you know.
And before that, I think even as a young person,
like buying my first gear,
one of the first like BIG pieces of gear
that made me feel like I was like “professional”
was this Mackie mixer.
And I'm excited about the Onyx line,
the refreshment of the Onyx line.
I think it's gonna be a good solution
for pros and amateurs,
and I'm going to get my hands on one
as soon as they're made available.
Yeah, thanks.
I mean, even in my studio,
like, right now, this is where if you've ever
tuned into my, my channel on Twitch,
it's Twitch.tv/OfficialMikeShinoda
and I do new songs
in a couple of hours every weekday
from 10 a.m. to noon.
And right behind me every day
it's my Mackie mixer.
one of the earlier Onyx models, and,
I run a number of keyboards and outboard gear,
and effects and things like that through it
whenever appropriate.
Yeah, so I'm excited about the new one.
And they sent me this list of talking points,
letting me know that it's got
a classic sound, but modern performance,
and it's got multitrack recording
and unmatched control flexibility
and it's built like a tank.
They say Mackie Onyx premium analog mixers
with USB are the ultimate compact,
affordable solution for live audio,
home recording, content creation.
I will just tell you that
I've been using this stuff for 20 years
and...it's pretty much never given me a problem.
It's great, it's well-built stuff.
It's great stuff and...
lasts forever. So
I'm sure the new ones will be the same
and appreciate you guys, you know, listening
and I'll let you at this point get on with your day.
Thanks very much.
