Mackie ProFX Vs Mackie Onyx

High level review of Mackie ProFX vs Onyx. Purpose of needing a new mixer was for 4 reasons. Live rehearsal, occasional small gig, capability of direct recording of individual tracks to a DAW and output to go pro for capturing performances for live streaming with video. Some direct competitors like PreSonus, Tascam, Allen & Heath, Behringer, Midas, Yamaha, Soundcraft and SSL offer product lines with various extended features, some with more robust hardware, I/O or recording capability and even DAW control such as the case with Tascam Model12 but ultimately, the Mackie Onyx seemed to fit the current need for a cost effective hybrid analog but digital capable mixer.
