Thanks to its integrated Mackie Control
Universal protocol, the Digital X Bus can
seamlessly control software ranging from Logic
to Pro Tools, Nuendo, Performer, Sonar and more.
Better still, the console can be flipped into software control
mode with a single button press. In this way, you can place a
Digital X Bus at the center of your DAW-based studio and have
the best of both worlds—hardware and software.

The Digital X Bus’ open architecture means you can configure the console’s I/O as you see fit, without having to pay
for I/O formats you’ll never use. The console ships with two I/O Option cards out of the box—the Sync Card, which
provides Word Clock and LTC I/O, and the Mix Out Card, which provides control room and phones outputs, as well as
analog and digital outputs for the main mix bus.
