Mackie Onyx Blackbird on Lion

Hi, I just switched over from a Mackie 1220i interface to the Onyx Blackbird. Everything was fine running the 1220i on Mac OSX Lion with Logic 9, but now I have hit some snags with the Blackbird. I read up on the Mackie forums to get the interface up and running on Lion, but now my problems are with the monitoring. The Blackbird Control crashes every time I try so until Mackie fixes that I am trying to get around it. For what I am doing I only need one monitor mix, but the interface mixes its input with Logic's output so I have no way to control my mixes when I am recording. To put it simply, can I just listen to Logic's output when I am recording a track without running the Blackbird Controller?

 

The mic pres are good, I decided I wanted more than on my 1220i. I just assumed the Blackbird would work just as well on my system, but it does not. Even if I cannot resolve this issue soon I think I'll still hold on to it for a while and hope for the best!
