From Our Research Team:Get Creative with The ProjectMix I/O!Today, more professional music is produced at home than ever before-and the new ProjectMix I/O delivers what you need to take your computer-based studio and productions to the next level. It features seamless integration with all major DAW software and the ability to record directly into industry-standard Pro Tools sessions. The M-Audio ProjectMix I/O is the universal solution that combines the best of the hardware and software worlds for a new standard in streamlined production.M-Audio ProjectMix I/O at a Glance:
Tactile control of your mix with FireWire convenience Computer-based DAWs seem to have virtually no limitations-except those imposed by using a mouse to do the job of dedicated hardware. ProjectMix I/O finally puts all that tactile control back under your fingertips. It also combines that control with M-Audio's acclaimed FireWire audio interface technology, eliminating clutter while integrating everything you need to transform your computer-based music system into a full-fledged digital audio workstation. Analog and digital I/O with eight mic preamps ProjectMix I/O gives you just about every kind of I/O you might need for a session-and at the same price as many control surfaces lacking audio altogether. Eight analog input channels all feature 1/4" balanced and XLR microphone inputs with individual mic/line switches. Of course, phantom power is provided for up to eight condenser mics and input 1 even features a front-panel instrument input so you easily plug a guitar or bass right in. 8 x 8 ADAT Lightpipe I/O brings the simultaneous input total to 16 and allows you to expand your system with devices like M-Audio's award winning Octane preamp. This allows for eight more channels of preamp via Lightpipe. 2 x 2 S/PDIF handles all your other digital connectivity, and word clock synchronizes ProjectMix with other digital devices. MIDI I/O plus multiple monitoring options ProjectMix I/O also serves as a 1 x 1 MIDI interface, allowing your computer to connect with MIDI hardware. Monitoring options include two 1/4" headphone outputs with separate volume controls for working with a partner, as well as two stereo output pairs for routing to monitors, processors and mixdown devices. There's even an A/B headphone source monitoring switch for cueing. ProjectMix I/O brings all of this to your computer with a single, simple FireWire connection. Illuminated transport controls Dedicated transport controls are another feature that makes doing sessions with ProjectMix I/O a breeze. You get illuminated controls for record, play, stop, fast forward, and rewind, plus a jog/shuttle wheel and locate buttons for easy project navigation. Sets of keys for in/out points, zoom, region nudge, looping and more will having your flying through sessions with incredible efficiency. Very easy to use, with logical layout M-Audio's design team gave a great deal of consideration as to what features would provide the most value in the ProjectMix I/O. They knew that cutting-edge features like high-resolution 10-bit touch-sensitive moving faders, large LCD display and mic/line switches on all channels were important. They also found that much of the expense of other units on the market owed to a dizzying number of controls that many users find daunting. M-Audio engineers opted for a streamlined design that places some ProjectMix I/O functions under the control of the keyboard and mouse, where they are best suited. The result is a controller that doesn't have much of a learning curve, is much more intuitive to use and comes in at an unbeatable price. Check out ProjectMix I/O for yourself - we think you'll agree. 10-bit touch-sensitive moving faders for precision The motorized touch-sensitive faders on each of ProjectMix I/O's eight channel strips and master strip record and playback your changes, making for seamless mix automation. And touch sensitivity means that when you touch a fader in motion, it immediately disengages for manual control and re-engages automation when you release. This provides for both smoother operation and the elimination of motor burnout prevalent in older technologies. ProjectMix I/O's faders also feature higher resolution than other control surfaces in its price range. Bank-switchable channel strips ProjectMix I/O's eight channel strips can map to as many channels as your project by simply pressing the bank +/- and channel +/- controls. Each channel strip features all of the functions you'd expect to help you zip through sessions, including buttons for mic/line, record enable, mute, solo, and select. In addition to a touch-sensitive motorized fader, each of the ProjectMix I/O's strip has an endless rotary encoder knob whose function is assigned by one of 15 dedicated buttons for EQ, aux send and more. Related information is displayed in the LCD window directly above each encoder. The encoders and LCD double to control assigned plug-in parameters as well.

ReviewsI LOVE MY PROJECTMIX I/O!
by Lionel Reyes from Los Angeles, CA USA
I've had my Projectmix since 2005 and I've never been happier. I've never had any problems with the software or hardware. The control surface works seamlessly with Pro Tools MP, Cubase, Logic, Sonar... read more [+], and Live. Might I add, that it is a blessing to work with Propellerhead Reason/Record also. If you buy this, you will not regret it! close [-]

by Kevin from Greenville, NC
I had worries when I bought this due to the 1 person that reviewed this and said it was so-so. He obviously hasn't read the manual. Every problem he has with this is addressed in the manual, though ... read more [+]he is correct about the master fader. I love the project mix. It frees me from observiing changes I'm making on the screen to LISTENING to the changes. The manual is quick and easy to read. I learned how to use this in less than 4 hours. If I didn't choose to read the manual, I still would have been able to use this within 15 minutes. User friendly and smart design. It leaves the appropriate operations up to the mouse and the I/O features are amazing. It works with every plug-in I own (Waves/Ozone/Massey). I was very surprised at how much I like it. My friend just got the Digi 003 and this is a comparable product for the price. If you are thinking about it, do it. It works better with Pro-Tools M-powered than my M-Audio 1814. I haven't had one DAE error to date and Pro tools hasn't locked up on me once. Buy this. close [-]

I've had the M-Audio Project Mix for close to a year now. It works great for tracking and mixing in my Sonar based home studio.

The master fader works in Sonar. My only gripe is the rewind botton won't work in Sonar or at least mine dos'nt. It would be cool if they made a nice overlay for the contoller, for specific platforms i.e. Pro-tools or Sonar ect... so I would'nt have to remember what some of the buttons do. But overall I like using the Project Mix. It's definetly well made, sturdy, looks killer and hasn't given me any problems. Load software and drivers and get to recording and mixing. close [-] Awesome awesome awesome

I just got this bad boy. I don't know what I was waiting for. The control surface is awesome. Makes my workflow take a third of the time. No more mousing for me.

Simple and clean. I only gave it 4.5 stars because I feel the octane preamps are a little sterile sounding. close [-] Sweetwater Advice
Chris McCownEight mic pres, motorized faders, and compatibility with all major DAWs - the Project Mix I/O is an excellent choice for those seeking more connectivity than what they are currently using, or looking to integrate currently owned ADAT lightpipe-equipped gear to a control surface. Perfect for project studios, portable live recording rigs, and for anyone looking to step up to more I/O.
