What other items do you have attached to your d8b and what are you attempting to do with it? The d8b is a mixer, a console, a desk, a way to route analog and digital signals to various in and out points with a ton of added extra cool stuff. It will do nothing on its own in terms of sound.

I hope this helps you, do you have a manual? or better yet go and download the manual for your software version at the Mackie site and start reading. This is where you start... at the beginning.

We need more info to help you out. We need to know what I/O cards you have and what you are using for a sound source. How is the thing clocked. This is a bit deeper than the average Mackie small format mixer so cracking open the manual may be helpful as well. My money is you are experiencing pilot error as opposed to the console being junk, though that is possible.

Yes this is appropriate to check... there is a slot in the back labeled sync open those two screws and see if there is a card in there, or if you can see a card with two BNC connectors on it in that place and report back.

Hi Pedro :lol:
