*PC Driver v1.9 and Mac OS Core Audio for Onyx-i mixers do not support device aggregation. This means you cannot connect multiple Onyx-i devices to the same computer for simultanous use. Similarily, you cannot aggregate Onyx-i mixers with Onyx Blackbirds.

*Drive v4.1.0 + Control Panel v1.0.0 do support device aggregation on PC and Mac with other Onyx-i mixers, as well as Onyx Blackbirds (up to four devices). Note that if you are connecting an Onyx-i mixer to a PC or Mac by itself, the above PC or Mac driver is the appropriate driver for that setup. However, if you are planning to aggregate the Onyx-i mixer with an Onyx Blackbird, you will need the latest driver and control panel for the Onyx Blackbird which installs the Onyx Blackbird control panel and allows you to aggregate it with other Onyx-i mixers starting with the serial number 204.

Many Mac users feel that they do not need to run a cleaning program on their Mac ever. Others feel that Mac cleaners are good when and if their Mac begins to have performance issues or show a drop in speed. However, if you want your Mac to run at its best performance and remain its speedy self, then it is wise to use a tool like OnyX for Mac. Look at it as free preventative care for one of your most valuable assets.

Features of the OnyX for Mac include:

Disk maintenance, cache clean-up, index rebuilding, clearing the browser cache, font caches, boot, kernel and extension caches, as well as logs from crash reporters, system diagnostics and software update.

Let’s begin with a short tutorial that will help you know how to use Onyx for Mac:

Onyx For Mac 10.11

1. Backup: As the screen shot from the OnyX utility shows, your first step should be to backup your Mac. This is preferably done prior to downloading OnyX to your Mac. You can backup your data using Time Machine or a third-party backup utility.
   
2. Download OnyX: Before downloading OnyX, be aware that there are different versions of OnyX for your Mac. They are based on what OS your Mac has: Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and even the newest: OnyX Lion. It is very important to choose the correct OS version as OnyX is designed to specifically work with each OS, and will not work properly with the wrong version.
3. Install: Install is very basic and similar to other program installations. Drag and drop OnyX into your Applications and Install will begin. At one point, after clicking through some permissions and hitting next a few times, you will be asked for your Mac system password. Enter the password and you are done with the Onyx for Mac installation.
   
4. S.M.A.R.T. Status: OnyX will now verify the S.M.A.R.T. status and Startup Volume. Allow OnyX to run these diagnostic tools, and then prepare to wait as this diagnostic tool can take some time. The program will assure you that this is normal and to not worry. I am glad they added this warning to some of their diagnostic tools, as they can take quite a bit of time which may concern you if you were not aware of what was happening. S.M.A.R.T. stands for: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. Most disks have S.M.A.R.T. hardware that is used to test and monitor your Mac’s hard drive. This tool will be checking its status. This diagnostic tool is important as it may prevent the failure of your hard drive. Make sure you use the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic tool when you first use OnyX for your Mac, after that you can run it as needed.
   

   The next step depends on what you do next with OnyX for Mac

   Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning, Utilities, Automation, Parameters

   In this scenario I have chosen to show you the Cleaning utility. Here we can see the various areas that we can clean are listed at the top, and the items that it will clean or things you wish it do are listed below. If you are unsure or have any questions about a task, you may click on the question mark in the lower left corner of each window.

   6. Execute: Once you have made your choices, click on the Execute button. Depending upon the task it again may take some time to work. Remember to be patient as some tasks can take quite some time to complete.

   7. Restart (if prompted): Not every task will have you restart your Mac, but for those that do it is a good idea to do so when prompted.

   My conclusion on the Onyx for Max program

   Maintenance Scripts

   Mac OS X includes a task manager (launchd) which automates System cleaning by executing the “periodic” utility. This utility runs three BSD standard scripts which perform many maintenance operations.

   Cleaning

   The Cleaning panel displays six tabs which allow removing the System Cache, User Cache, Internet Files, Fonts Caches, Logs, CrashReporter, and miscellaneous Temporary and Obsolete Files.

   Utilities

   The Utilities panel allows you to access Unix “man”-pages, to Force Empty the Trash, to quickly find a file or folder, to manage the Process accounting, and to modify the visibility status of a volume, folder, or file.

   Automation

   The Automation panel is divided into three sections and regroups the main functions of maintenance and cleaning.

   Parameters

   The Parameters panel displays ten tabs allowing you to personalize your working environment. The system and some Apple applications contain hidden functions that you can enable or disable in this panel.

   OnyX Log and Diagnostic Reports

   The Log panel displays two tabs which access the OnyX Log or its Diagnostic Reports.

    

5. After having downloaded and used Onyx for Mac myself, I encourage Mac users to install OnyX. Although it is free, I still found it to be just as good as some that charge a fee. The Onyx for Mac is a maintenance program that will help keep your Mac running in the perfect way that it should.

   In addition to cleaning up your Mac, it can also repair some things that can help restore your Mac’s speed and performance. Something else I like is that there is an OnyX Lion version, which means that those of you that have Mac’s newest OS called Lion, can maintain it from the start. To learn further and more in depth details on how to use OnyX for Mac, use the OnyX help guide which includes a full tutorial.
