I have 14 channels of high quality mic preamps Api, Daking, Purple Audio and Great River going to a Alexis HD 24 then to my Mackie 24 channel 8 buss mixer for monitoring EQ etc., I’ve made recordings through the Mackie preamps and I can’t tell the difference between them and the expensive preamps!

The Mackie 8 Bus is very underrated in my opinion. I have always liked the preamps and EQ but the sound of the mix bus is even better. I used Mackies for a lot of recordings earlier in my career and it always worked well and sounded good.

I try to make things sound exciting and match the way I hear it in my head. My favorite mixing engineers are people like Vance Powell, Jack Joseph Puig and Brendan O'Brien to name just a few. I like exciting mixes that are punchy with a lot of vibe and depth. I go for a more organic, semi-vintage sound or slick and 3D depending on the song but it always ends up having some analog juice 🧃 thanks again and thanks for watching!

Great sound, I'm a huge fan of Mackie. What heard on this video, especially on the "Hurricane" song was very reminiscent of 90s alternative indie rock. Especially since this board was very accessible for indie labels for it's high quality sound at a reasonable price even for the 90s. $3,000.00 was easily among the four members of the band along with 2 or 3 DATs... That's it You're set. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you! My band in the late 90s had a 24-8 with 3 DA-88s so I know exactly what you mean. I worked in a studio that had a 56 channel Mackie and 48 tracks of DA-88s as well. I hadn't touched a Mackie in many years when this one popped up locally for a good price and I couldn't resist. I figured it would at least be something cool to demo in some videos. I'm a big fan of Mackie especially this model. It could partially be nostalgia but when heard this one, I really liked the sound and all the material recorded with these still sounds good today. Thanks again and thanks for watching!

Sounds good! Never thought of using the 1066 on main bus! Are you familiar with the Behringer 4 channel compressor??
@TwinCreekAudio

I haven't used a 4 channel Behringer but I used the Composer compressors a lot back in the 90s. I used to like them back then but it has been years. The 1066 manual says the contour switch is for a full mix so I assume it was designed partially for mix bus purposes. I thought it sounded pretty good.

That should work great for you! Those are close to the same preamps and summing as the 8 Bus so should be excellent for tracking or mixing/summing. They are also quiet and the EQ works well. Have fun with your new Mackie!

The only flaw to your mix bro...is you need to cut about 1 1/2 db of 500K and I would boost 300k by 1/2 db and some 10k by 1db to make your Overheads a little moer crispy...... Thats honestly the Big Eq ing...difference between mixing and mastering Bringing out a little more Clarity and a Slight Scoop in the Between the Highs, Lows and Mids Saturation and your prefered Loudness...thats all taking a Mix up to Mastering Level is...... but just a Raw Mix it sounds good....I just think those few EQ moves...would make it sound more polished...love the song!!

This might be useless information for you but you can strap a dbx noise gate to the dbx 163 x and it behaves as a slave and its good for stereo compressing.> The reason i mention this is because i found two noise gates dbx something x i forget but i bought 2 of them for 40 bucks where the 163's are pulling alot more money out of my wallet.

I recorded and/or mixed a lot of albums in the 90s with these. It didn't sound as good as the MCIs I also used at the time but the MCIs always had issues because they were already so old so I leaned to appreciate these. They really don't sound bad at all and are reasonably reliable. I used the Mackie at some of my first studio jobs so like I said in the first video, it is partially a nostalgia thing. My main console these days is a Soundcraft Sapphyre but I buy a lot of used older consoles to make videos about on the channel. I actually liked this Mackie better than I remembered from the 90s work I did with them but I also have more experience getting good sounds than I did then. I see your point and see the same things in forums all the time. To me, a good engineer can get good sounds and a good mix out of anything that's working and not too noisy or broken. There seems to be a lot of DnB and electronic producers that like to drive the Mackie line inputs for the distraction it gets. While I respect your opinion, I have been able to do some really good work with the old Mackie 8 Buses.
