SOURCE: Mackie D8B Mixer freezes

Don't know your setup but have you checked out any possible Hum loops? Have you updated any firmware updates? Is your mains input clean (no spikes or very short drop outs of voltage)? Are you near any possible RFI, e.g. Taxi's or CBr's? The list goes on so check out the Mackie forum on the web for more. Good Luck...

SOURCE: I cant get any sound to come through my Mackie d8b

I have one of these, you may have a problem with a capacitor, they tend to go every 5 years or so. its a back to base job, but you probably dont need to send your cpu, just the mixer unit.

SOURCE: I have a Mackie d8b,

This is vague,,, there are so many outputs, knobs, LED's that I suspect you have not tried the right combination. I have no idea what your signal sources are... mics... tape... etc.

To start, turn the trim control of one channel that you have a signal source connected. Set all the EQ controls and the pan CONTROLS TO 12 O'CLOCK.

Check that you can trigger the clip light with high level of input. Press the solo button for that channel and using a set of headphones listen for any signal... turn the headphone level up and the slider for that channel...

First do your basic checks,,, try EACH mute button and see the LED light... try each solo button and see that each will light AND also that ANY solo light will cause the RUDE solo light to come on...

SOURCE: I have a mackie 12 channel mixer, but don't

Just use balanced audio interconnect cables (XLR or TRS) between the mixer and the M-Audio interface.

I have a Mackie 1604 vzl pro mixer. It has two weak channels and a non working channel. Could give some tips on what I should look for when open up the unit?

First, unless you are a trained or self-taught audio technician, don't attempt to repair the unit yourself. Let the professionals repair it. You can damage it beyond repair if you don't know what you're doing.

Non-working channels are caused either by bad connections, bad solder joints or a dead IC op-amp.

The causes of weak channels can be more challenging to track down. I'd suspect bad connections, dirty controls or connectors.

My d8b runs and after 5 mn freewes.No more input or output.All the leds on the board go off and no button is active.

I suspect the power supply is shutting down... may be overloaded due to failure in the board or a failure in the supply itself. The time delay before failure is indicative of something heating up causing the delay in failing.
DO verify the power source is good. ALSO verify that ALL interconnected equipment such as the board, amps, powered speakers ALL are powered from the same receptacle or power source.

How can I hook up my ipod to the Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO? I'm not sure which control buttons, knobs or slides to use to to make it play. I plugged it into the "tape in (RCA)" jacks. I need help with the...

Easiest is to use a 1/8 inch stereo to 1/4 inch splitter cable (1/4 mono's) and plug into the tape input. Then use the tape level knob.

IF you want to use sliders, then plug the spliter 1/4 inch plugs into two channels and set the PAN controls for these to opposite ends and then you have to adjust two sliders to control the gain.

Recorded midi, output set to dtxpress channel 10 no sounds is gen

You have to discover the receive channel for the dtxpress. Try downloading Midiox which is a freeware app that actively displays everything that is happening midiwise in real time.
