Mackie Onyx8 - Still a good choice? (Review 2025)

@mackietv The Mackie Onyx 16 review has been very popular on the channel. I have been using the smaller Onyx8 for a while and felt it might be helpful for those using the smaller Onyx mixers or considering them. In this video I particularly focus on using the Onyx8 as an audio interface.
