All user reviews for the Yamaha 01V96

I will not go back on its characteristics. With various expansion cards (common to 02R), you can almost have your cake, eat it and the backside of the creamer.

UTILIZATION

A dive in the manual is necessary to become familiar with the machine. It is not easy for the novice but the game is worth it, because she knows everything. I use it exclusively for recording, coupled with a Profire Lightbridge on an imac. By adding an I / O card, I 16 simultaneous tracks ADAT, which is comfortable for recording taken "live in the studio."
Once presets patiently concocted, the console turns off-road, it is also not for nothing that many small concert halls are equipped.

SOUNDS

I do not use effects. Some think that a sampling frequency of 96 kHz is not sufficient ... to shock I admit that I parameter to 44.1 kHz for most of my recordings as my ProTools M-powered is going anyway until 48 kHz and I am saving and dithering. Since we are now mainly listened to mp3 on a smartphone, why sweat ...

OVERALL OPINION

It is undoubtedly one of my best purchases for recording. I always want to upgrade a lot of things, like all of us, but I do not see the point with this console. There has competition, especially from Tascam, but why complicate things unnecessarily? Especially since my copy is flawless reliability.
In sum, a semi-professional table quality, I recommend without reservation.

Console 19 ", 12 pramps microphone XLR / TRS inserts, 4 TRS line inputs, 8 aux, 8 bus, 4omni out assignable analog stereo TRS out XLR, TRS monitor outs, 8 I / O toslink adat in, 4-band full parametric EQ, compressor and gate for each spars, four multi-effects house, 100% virtual patch, up to 40 tracks mixing, a slot for optional MY, up 24 / 96 (with half the capacity), automation via MIDI, function remote control software for USB audio.Faders 100mm.Port, Book with the control software studio manager.

UTILIZATION

As usual, Yamaha has done things. The doc is Retailer and clear, but the habit of yamaha consoles numriques aisment can do without as the menus are simple and clairs.Studio manager lists the main features of the console on 'grit and simplifies viewing normment paramtres (particularly for virtual patch matrix). The large LCD screen also makes the grip, and orders of eq (finally a button to the q !) and pan are places.Un BMOL small pots for the 4 stereo in ... rpart in 2 layers of 2, place oblige it should not stop juggling the switch, and it is difficult to control their level ...

SOUNDS

Yamaha has made great progress since the quality of 01V 1st gnration.La pramps and A / D converters has made significant progress seems to sound more "soft" compared his ain e.les effects trs effective as ever, with a control of tap tempo for dlais and LFO cool.Les eq ... have 2 modes, which play on the slopes of the filters, and can choose between a surgical eq, and more soft.Dommage there is no HPF / LPF spars, requires a sacrifice extrmes.La dynamic bands is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a month (a Premire of books in France) and frankly ... it's a Yamaha !!!!! KILL relgue former MODELS forgotten, and puts still wind concurrence.J have always my first generation 01V (which is incidentally a great little console) but the one we concentrate DM carrment 2000.Aucune Concession 't is done, mix all the channels without exception have the same CHARACTERISTICS (eq, the, bus, dynamic). dcuple Virtual Patch capability also has the console.On eq, compressors, gates and delays on all outputs ... And all for less than 3000 euros with a card MY16AT 16 I / O adat! In the studio or live, with good external pramps more (like OctoPre or digimax LT) are obtained configs to kill for prices drisoires.Par example, I was able to record a live band (16 tracks) via the first eq live out in adat, while grant on its faade and 5 scne return circuit, using two rverbes delay and internal ... More good news coming out behringer with a Eightfold pramp 8 I / O and ADAT 8 XLR analog output for less than 450 euros.Ca means that with the 01V96 and two of these racks, we have a config with 28 mics, 4line, and 22 assignable analog output bus ........ . A buy eyes closed!

UTILIZATION

CONFIGURATION IS VERY CLOSE TO THE OLD MODEL
EVERYTHING IS MORE GROWTH IN DIRECT ACCESS TO THE FUNCTIONS OF PARAMETERS
Carément IT EASIER TO BUILD ON PC AND AFTER WORK ON THE CONSOLE

SOUNDS

An effort has been made on the overall quality of the audio
This starts to resemble PRICE FOR A PRODUCT ON WHICH DO NOT BREAST Pourrat

OVERALL OPINION

LIVE AND STUDIO WITH POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS AND FOR A PRICE ON AN D IS VERY CLOSE WITH ALL O2R V2 EDITABLE ON COMPUTER
AND MORE TUPEUX Control ProTools and Nuendo
FOR THE PRICE THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY

It's very comprehensive format
16 inputs analog real (not stereo), serial interface adat
8aux 8 bus
Nothing to say price / performance top

UTILIZATION

The access to the machine is simple
Anyway, if you know a Yamaha digital is the same logic
Be careful not to get caught with USER KEYS (badly placed)
It must be configured before

SOUNDS

Its RAS
It's not too digital typed
Note, a small compressor and parametric eq lamp output and it gets really warm

OVERALL OPINION

A 16 inputs with 4 multi-effects, a gate and a compression portion for that price
It's excellent.
In addition, you can use in any applications or LIVE STUDIO
In addition, it is inexpensive to switch to 24 entries

I pass over the banality of style rack, etc. ...
It features 40 tracks including 4 pairs controllable quon is back on the tracks in stereo rotary faders, which by default are used to return the internal multi-effects
sufficient connectivity, including a USB ... the spdif in and out is only coaxial
4 integrated multi-effects
lautomation external snapshots is well supported
lautomation dynamic parameters of all, I havent had time ... dessayer Meton a bcp that has does not even qd!
Sync BNC word clock or by slots

UTILIZATION

Getting started with quite different from the 01v, but tt ds lordre returns quickly
namely even tt qd on this console is this longing for 02R at its output, cest a bomb to the small size which occupies
regret: buttons too small daccès qd same, and they might consider adding a VGA output!

manual, as tjs, cest an encyclopedia, but tt is almost

SOUNDS

Converters: yeah, for me its a little bit of everything handjob, if you want some great converters, will see at Studer and other
cest transparent enough not to need to do a thesis on it
there are machines sold for the 24-bit 192 kHz and sound banal, but frankly ..

for making blind tests and also have submitted, I find this nest bother to setendre on the subject in 2004

Dynamic largely correct

OVERALL OPINION

I lay for more than 6 months with ext in adat preamps, cest really a bomb
japprecie what the +,, cest dailleurs for a lai I buy, cest quon can manage in 24 channels in adat, if not clear what cest navait no interest in my eyes

jai worked about other models, sony dmx r100, tascam DM24, etc.
lencombrement for, it's true that jai hesitated with the tascam, dailleurs I ask myself the question tjs
If you hesitate, identify good vs. Careers News that want to do anyway because the tascam is + useful for studio and for live + yamaha, clear EST

Q / P: okay

See other articles below.

UTILIZATION

It looks like the 01v, I had no trouble moving from one another.

MORE
+ Faders motoriss largest and most silent! No more "click" of faders when shooting!
+ All 32 tracks are in the same Manir Grable.
+ The patch: it's great to configure the I / O as the DSIR. It can hold two layers of faders as desired.
+ Management by the computer: All parameters are stored on the computer of Manir trs simple with Studio Manager. C'tait possible with the 01v and sysex, but much more difficult to grate.

LESS
- The 4 effects returns Grable by only 2 knobs. Would there was room for 4!
- Deuxime an I / O SPDIF t would welcome.
- A lightweight drone "physical" that did not exist on the 01v (poor design of the power supply?)

SOUNDS

EXCELLENT
It's really the diffrent 01v: pramplis finest real comp + gate on each channel, EQ excellent and more progressive than the 01v, so more prcis rgler.
The live sound is excellent in 24/96: Do not forget to configure this (in the studio, I work in 24/44).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year. I almost replaced my old 01v (6 years of loyal service) with a 01x. But I am extremely pleased to have made the effort to buy a financial 01V96: little diffrent the 01v for use, but what a diffrence in sound and use!

Digital, high definition home yamaha resolution from 44.1 to 96 kHz, input 16 or less, 24-bit 32-bit internally, found in a 19-inch (the console is an optional rack-mount) 12 mic with power supply phantom switchable in groups of 4 inputs, with the insertion point, to use a particular external device, the insert is located before the converter, so it resste in the analog domain which prevents the conversion that degrade the signal. There are four line inputs, the rising number of analog inputs at 16 with no options. In the analog domain decision tr 2 for connecting a recorder or another. Digital decision is that two very digital contact in S / PDIF with apareils using this format, an input digital output, and finally it takes two (one in and one out) taken ADAT optical permetent comuniquer of a multitrack, an 8-channel ADAT carries up to 48 kHz maximum but in this case. In other features include a gain control for preamp and a -20 dB pad for slices "micro" and only one gain setting for slices "online". A screenshot with adjustable contrast but not brightness, which is not always practical. A saw for the master meter, a navigation area between the different parameters, a section for setting agaliseur track selected, two areas key to select the layer fader and fader mode of a block of 12 keys to the main menu screen, and finally eight user-assignable keys. The console also has two terminals for Connextion clock (internal or external, since it can also latches on an external clock from the ADAT or S / PDIF, an expansion bay to install one of Many options, one triplet twelve o'clock noon for the control of recorders and a USB port to connect the console to a computer. The output is XLR master but there is also a moniter output (Sereo) jack on two and four omni out in jack.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is the highlight of the console, to be honest, I did not really open the manual, after three hours of handling and ride through menus, you come to master the craft. You should know that the interrêt of Digital versus analog is a versatility, because they just send anything anywhere, which is pretty handy! and one little sound to a group facade (the master) in return (the omni 4 out) and make an 8-track recording (ADAT) simultaneously, limited only by the skill of the operator console. And indeed, although the Cosol using the user, because the whole setting is stored, which is very useful for the live, the more besoind to note all the settings and change everything by hand between two groups, where two completely different moreceaux , it is enough to store the settings, and the chrger at the right time, knowing in addition that it is possible to define a trasition time between scenes to avoid abrupt changes in level. When the effect parameters (gates, compressors, eq .....) they are all present and modifiable, by the way, as I said above, access to different functions is easy, except in the black where it will provide a small lamp to illuminate the buttons to access functions, found on some consoles. The PC or Mac (OS9), can store configurations, where even the change of the console, the only difference being the presence of the mouse on the computer, the software is more useful to me to record patterns than anything else. The O1V96 also emulates the mackie hui, but the tests I did on my pro tools, does not go was very convincing, we regarded this feature as little enough compared to the countless accesoire function of this unit.

Update of 09/01/05:
The 01V96 Hui runs on my pro tools for almost a year now. It vraiq ue is not bad, but it is not practical, although dificil edit a plug from the table, we can not control everything, and you have to often use the keyboard, so it ' is somewhat limited, practice anyway to make a quick adjustment of levels.

SOUNDS

The sound is very good, very clear, even a bit, that's great for the classic which for the studio, but live rock, it's annoying sometimes, I prefer a Soundcraft K2, but hey, it's not the same price. Anyway the sound is very clear from input to output. Compressors and gate are effective, without more, they fulfill their function and very neutral, which is already very good for a sound with the personality, it will insert a plug in for this purpose. The EQ is also quite transparent but are found less effective than plugs wave, well I must say that these are very good! In any case, those of the Sufis are powerful console for a lot of use. The console also features four internal auxiliary effects (2 in 96 kHz) with a resolution of 32 bits Each one, there are a lot of reverb, delay, multiband compressor, amp simulator, chorus, flange etc. ... the reverbs are interested, but not quite make the height of a large TC, playing on the DELLAI effects (Chorus delay flanger etc. ....) are good, the guitar amp simulator is a simulator, c that is to say not very convincing but correct nonetheless. Finally the console to a dynamic Pluot important in the manual they say 110 dB, the sound always a fishing memory that I think he missed on any 01V court.

Update of 09/01/05:
I find the EQ less and less good, they are convenient but not that bad. The sound is very good against the live by.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it daily for over a month, and I'm very happy, this console is very versatile This is also why I took it, the sound is very good, especially compared to the previous model was a bit dull, but it's still digital so you need not rely on heat! or on a particular sound. The grip can be used after several hours of mop in the menus, what we regret it can not add an extension, not being able to view the levels on a wide band of seen meters, and the mixing suround monopolizes virtually all 8-bus console. For the price, it's very very good material, easy to replace a lot of heavy equipment because it is an advantage of having to move "that" some of Dizan kilo, instead of a stone hundreds (hey yes because it weighs 16 conpresseurs already!) and then save space in a home studio where a small board is already important.

Update of 09/01/05:
After several months of use, I am very happy with this console, I use it in rehearsal and in concert with my band, and troune well, the sound is very good once you've spent some time on the set, especially one little mémorisers. Really a nice console for the small live.

Console rack with optional brackets
4 FX sections handy

UTILIZATION

Fairly simple to use if you want
It can become complex because they can lead an entrance to an exit, insert effects, affect returns

On stage we will quickly reconfigure the console depending on the situation
16 tracks were recorded live carefree via mLAN


SOUNDS

It fails to have allowed for better quality (or should buy DM1000)

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for the live
It easily records on a MacBook 16-track live

I sold it to spend a fixed use, Mias soon as I m she pours me out very well

Is rack?
The 01V96 is racable
What type of connectors (RCA Jack, XLR ...)?
Rich connectique.Il are all it takes.
We can add a card to get additional outputs as desired.
What is the sampling precision (bits / kHz)?
up to 96khz
An effects section is integrated?
The effects are largely sufficient for the stage


UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
If we know the use of digital consoles, it's simple.
on the other hand, if you come from the analog world, a certain adaptation time
is necessary.
Once the logic of the 01V96 is acquired, it is the foot.
We can route the signal to our wishes
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
it goes ...
The usual functions are they easily accessible?
yes, very easily


SOUNDS

The A / D converters and D / A are transparent?
I like you get a great sound.
I use 8 years RME converters.
I prefer those of the 01V96 is less steep and less cold.

The effects and filters are effective?
Yes, it's effective and precise.
for the plug is good.
All functions are controllable from the table with a computer

The dynamics are respected?
The dynamics are well respected.
This is essential for good work and awesome sound.


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
21 months

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
almost all in this price range.
This is the best! no doubt

What thing do you like most/least about it?
What I like most is the backup of all settings.
Simply use the preset you want and presto.
All settings are there so cursor.
Foot on stage! Whole mix is already prepared.
I like the sound and dynamics.

What I like least is to cut an effect on a runway.
It must go through the firmware.
Switches would have been a good idea.
What I do not like is the small buttons for phantom power
at the rear of the console.
I use a cap of a ballpoint pen to activate or turn off the power
Furthermore, no visual to control the power state.
This may be inconvenient for some pickups.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
No hesitation, this is really a great product.
Not for nothing is as it sold worldwide.

UTILIZATION

we found it without the need for manual. I can not find the EQ super convenient to use. It really lacks the rotary encoders on the slices and it would also appreciated the view meters.

SOUNDS

yes and no ... the sound is quite cold in the bass and treble are Agresion ...
Compared with the old digital Berhinger DDX3216 .... the sound is much better and pleasant on the latter ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use a bit of everything: DMX R-100, M7CL, PM5D, DM2000, DM1000, DIGIDESIGN and also smaller as the DDX3216 therefore, LS9 MACKIE etc. ....
this console is handy because it lets you do many things, notament treatments in the departure or bus with a fairly complete routing .... but personally I like only moderately sound comes out.

UTILIZATION

Great feature, so request to address the console and its manual (written in a very clear)

very good ergonomics ..

SOUNDS

Converters are quite transparent, of good quality preamps, effects are honorable to use live, however the EQ is not very fine, but when you know the machine by the Subsequently, this too is no longer a problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 years live setup (about 200 concerts per year), I'm very glad I never had any downtime. Many possibilities (up to 32 tracks), so virtually unlimited routable, I think in this price category, this is an excellent digital console.

If possible choose a version (VCM effects of much better quality)
