Mackie Spike Driver For MacPhoto: Mark Ewing Mackie's first foray into the market for desktop USB devices is a well specified stereo interface with built-in DSP effects. The Mackie Spike Powered Recording System aims to provide a 'complete desktop solution for 24-bit/96kHz audio recording and MIDI production on a Mac or PC'. It consists of a USB audio and MIDI interface called the XD2, and a bundle of software that includes the Tracktion MIDI + Audio sequencer. The XD2 is not fixed at 24 bits or 96kHz; 16-bit operation is also supported, as are sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48 and 88.2 kHz. In fact, at the time of writing 88.2 and 96 kHz support is still under development, although Mackie are making public test versions of the drivers available on their web site (44.1 and 48 kHz are already fully supported). Interestingly, the XD2 contains a SHARC hardware DSP chip, providing built-in EQ and dynamics processing for tracking and monitoring, in addition to the more commonplace I/O stuff. The built-in effects are editable via a software control panel that runs on the host computer, although the effects themselves don't rely on the host CPU.
