FAQ
Can I record each channel separately?
Yes. Over USB the Onyx16 works as a 18×4 audio interface, so your computer receives separate tracks for multitrack recording.
Can I play music from my phone?
Yes. Pair your phone by Bluetooth and the audio streams to a mixer channel, which can go to the main mix and aux sends.
