Mackie Audio Interface, Onyx Producer 2X2 USB Audio Interface with MIDI (Onyx Producer 2-2)

A good solid USB sound card for sound production. Includes MIDI in/out. Seems to be completely plug & play with Ubuntu Linux. I just plugged it in and started using it right away. It sounds great, and is absolutely completely quiet when nothing is playing, even with the knobs cranked up all the way. I didn't need any of the software that comes with this, but i'll probably play with it sometime. Added note 2/1/2026: I paid $105 for this. It's a great piece of gear and glad that I got it, but if I knew they were going to drop the price 30% I would have waited, or returned the one I have and bought it again. Anyway, NEW LOW PRICE, so definitely worth it if you need something like this.

Purchased this unit in October 2018 (Producer 2-2) To replace my previous M-Audio interface that was some 16 years old, which I use for home recording (vocals/guitars/amps) I was interested in purchasing one sooner but frequently found I was having a hard time deciding which unit would be best, based on professional reviews as well as customer reviews (and weeding through those to make sure the lower-starred reviews are from people who know what they're talking about). I was drawn to this unit because at the time it was fairly new, and actually didn't have a lot of reviews, but one reviewer who was sent one to test out left a very favorable, comprehensive review. I was also drawn to the rugged aspect of it as sometimes I travel with it. Installation was straightforward, drivers were easy to get. I can't speak to the included software as I already have software I prefer to use (Reaper), but I had no issues getting the unit configured and working with my setup and getting right to work. I use Windows 10 64 bit and have never had issues with recognition or connection to either of my computers. Great low latency, and between the driver setttings and the DAW it's easy to tweak it if you feel the need to refine it. I have and would recommend this unit.

I will recommend this company to anyone who is buying an audio interface. It easily hooks up to computer and sound quality is amazing.

Outstanding product. Works as well as units 5x’s the price if not better. Solidly built not like a toy as some others.

Great unti for plug and play.. now I can record much easily!!

SUCKS!!!! It doesn't work with OBS!!!! SUCKS!!!! It has ZERO volume. You HAVE to download there software, is it user friendly? NO!! Is it a total hassle to download and setup?? YEAH, IT SUCKS DONT BUY GET THE BEHRINGER INSTEAD!! IT SUCKS!!!! TOTAL JUNK, HAVE TO CRANK 200% THE PREAMP TO EVEN HEAR ANYTHING. I should have known not to buy a Mackie product. They refuse to give customers what they need and force them down thier pretentious stuck up old ways... you could make an interface that works with OBS, MACKIE YOU LOSERS!!!!

Good quality, easy to hook up. One thing I noticed is that it needs to be directly connected to the computer and not a hub or the audio source disconnects whenever the computer goes to sleep

Any time I buy a new piece of audio gear I wonder – will it work the first time with my legacy software? And this one did. Audio quality is a given with Mackie, and the instant compatibility means I can focus on my digitizing project, and not stress out about my audio software’s morbid fear of strangers.

Estuve varias semanas buscando con el presupuesto bajito en Amazon y encontré esta excelente interfaz. Conectividad de plug&play instantánea con mi Macbook y sin ningun problema. La uso para grabar ideas de bajo eléctrico para mis proyectos. Se siente bastante sólida, buenos componentes electrónicos, buen sonido y muy portátil pues cabe perfectamente en mi mochila. Recomendable.

ワイヤレス環境で遅延が気になり、有線環境に戻すために購入。PCのイヤホンジャック直刺しよりも低ノイズで音を聞きたかったのと、各種コントロールノブが本体上面ではなく正面側側面にある機種を探してこの機種にしました。 配信やレコーディングはせず、音楽、映画などをそこそこの音質で低遅延に楽しむ用途ならなんの問題もありません。またモニタースピーカーとイヤホンそれぞれの音量が独立調整できるのも何かと便利です。 WEB会議のためにコンデンサマイクを接続していますがこちらも低ノイズで満足しています。

Regalo de cumpleaños de un compi. Lo usa junto a un mac. Funciona muy bien. Calidad precio inmejorable

The quality of this brand is great and it's not expensive. I am gearing up only with this equipment.

2 microphone inputs which sound pretty good but with only gain and a LED to show the signal level. LED off no signal or small signal , green led signal is within the limits and apparently there is a red LED but I have never seen it as there was enough gain. Monitor output has a mixer for the sound coming into the ONYX or the sound coming from the PC which is very useful for checking a sound is good through the monitors before it even gets recorded and then recordings can take place only listening to the whole mix. If you need a little more or less performance you can quickly adjust the balance but you get a weird echo as the mixes are just happening at different times. This function may have been better as just a switch but I do use it. The headphone out has a volume control. I have not used the MIDI but there is in and out. Connects to a USB port and gets its power from the USB which is nice. All in all a reasonable quality product which sounds good using a stereo guitar/microphone into some software on the computer.
