OVERALL OPINION

the best value / versatility of the market is still not beaten so far in my opinion.
I was the background music to prmier Bercy DM2000 with 2 mirrored final mix (+ O2R96 and midas heritage 3000 Rhythmic premix + G + KB and electric percussion) at night to Algeria in 2000 or 2001
I'm yamaha products since the beginning
while practicing other high-end consoles (DiGiCo SD8, VI6 Souncraft midas Pro6 etc.)
I save regularly classic albums with my 01v96v2 and 1788 aphex preamp upstream and additional adat card for 24 entries. never a problem.
if we added a map wave was enough to make a minimum of space.
yes I do it again this choice without problem there are other very good but more expensive I do not yet know the Midas / berrhinger which seems closer ...

I will not go into the details of this table, the connectors are many possibilities as extensions

UTILIZATION

the starting configuration is a bit complicated and even with experience it is not easy to use this table, many sub menus etc. .....
on the other hand once mastered the beast, you can do many things, but it's really not easy
Fortunately, the manual helps a lot thicker
functions are not easily accessible for those who do not know this table, with time passed on, we can go quickly find what you need

SOUNDS

for me the converters are good but I do not have a great experience, I'm not a musician but sound engineer .....
I pair the table with a fire face 800 of RME, the it becomes a real massacre!!
I made mix, many people thought I had gone into the studio with the big stuff, the 01 enough to make a very clean work for little one spends time and allowed his ears work .. ....
I only use the reverbs that are enough for me

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 5 years have now, I did a lot of things, coupled with my RME, I could even sound in a band (drums, guitar, 3 vocals, bass, keyboards) live and make a live recording one track with my little mac, all at the same time ....
Today the price of occas worth at the new time I found it expensive but I do not regret my purchase
good value for money, and even today not many competitors offer many possibilities, I will keep a long time ....

I'm not the technical huh, go to Yamaha ...

UTILIZATION

If I manage to use it should not be very hard

SOUNDS

Very good converters, I am not using the built-in effects, good dynamic

OVERALL OPINION

My 01V96 V2 and I live a great love story. Plugged into my pc via a card My16mlan she used her card to play Tetris. Ahhh, the music of Tetris which passes through the 01v is good!
Okay, enough of nonsense This is a great table that meets all my needs for home-studio. The grip is (relatively) easy, the studio manager helps. I guess we should find better but it works as I do not change.

Rack Console, 32 channels, eight buses and eight to. Eq and comp gate on each bus so voieet multi effects .... 4 .... short.
Bump up to 96Khz, 24 bit thing thing, a yam koi!
No automation Intgr possibility but in the afternoon with a grate squenceur. I test works as well as automation Intgr. Nickel. Steinberg thank you
So forcment, the only word clock sync is available in BNC. Classic.

UTILIZATION

Not need the manual. Anyway if you need a manual for a console, it's true that they know that slab console. It is intuitive, simple, and great fucking. I do not put ten because this would be the top if it had a VGA output for display on a screen while ..... it will only catch the small Intgr trs clear anyway.

SOUNDS

Good converters, Eq really nice and good compressors. GML is not, but worth any Plug'ins, hands down. Reverb nice, nothing more.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months. I love it. For the price, frankly, we do not much better. The routing is incredible, we absolutely do what we want. It has t think it is useful and intelligent. Well finished, it sounds, it turns nickel. The default: no VGA output, asymtriques inserts (but that price, c normal), no Bargraph option. Otherwise, say nothing. Super stuff!

For my part I fly planks installed in an "L" further comprising an Alesis 8 EQ freq x 31 in adat preamp and a Yamaha 8 channel derived from the DM 2000
this console that can rgisseurs loves (for lack of knowledge or snobbery in terms of price are the class of hardware "entry level") is made professionally. Obviously, it has a freq EQ para 4, with 4 to 8 are assigned to four SPX integrated, compressor or gate, delays on all inputs ... The bookshops are all FX and accounting is used with their paramtres original which makes it very practical for novice users and saves considerable time for the benefits of small scales. I do not blame or make comparisons with larger MODEL. It is often easy because the price of 02 as reference, DM 2000, 1 PM or 5D, Mackie TT or D8, etc., are more levs and partly explain the amliorations
However, among all the lodges that I can do this console fits a little painful in default "live", the "high pass and low pass" respectively replaced the low or high EQ and if they are applied do not allow us than using the EQ in para 3 freq.
Unlike other notices reading the doc can be useful only if it is only to discover the existence of the software yamaha "studio manager" that allows the management of 01 (among others) and view the settings on a screen larger than that of the console
I recommend this product a great value for quality prix.Pour groups running in small rooms or in home.
I use it live for the past three years to about 200 live and I've never had a problem.

OVERALL OPINION

-

- Is the rack? yes and several rack and boxes exist that are well made.
- How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)? cf manufacturer specifications
- What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)? All
- The parametric equalizer is it? yes
- The effects section is it integrated? ... yes and the best

For digital consoles:
- What is the accuracy of the sample (bits / kHz)? cf manufacturer
- Automation is supported? yes
- What type of sync are supported? ... word clock ...

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple? This is a digital console and not analog! So in the heat of live there need to stay focused!
- The usual functions are they easily accessible? Over time yes but you have to practice regularly.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... As always with Yamaha

SOUNDS

- The A / D and D / A are transparent? So here we enter the heart of the matter! These converters are simply fabulous, transparent, efficient ...
- Effects and filters are effective? I suggest you test the EQ and see. It's pro ...
- The dynamics are respected? ... Everything goes together! Converters, preamps ... everything is right, clear, no breath, how do you say?

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? A year of intensive use (multiple disks made and live recordings as well)
- What is so special that you like most and least? Plus: routing with virtually limitless. The least: ergonomics really digital (menu, submenus ...)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it? N12, ONYX, ALESIS, 02R ...
- How would you rate the quality / price? After comparison with more expensive machines I do not know how they do with Yamaha to calculate their prices? It is a machine comparable to other more typical "pro". In addition it is a rock-solid. Provided it is in flight it still works. I forgot! The mLan that I brought up above (Special Yamaha FireWire card) is a monster of stability. Never a crash! What could be better?
- With experience, you do again this choice? ... I am even willing to stoop to all again.

I used the 01V96 for a week of concerts rptition and 2. Learning (I had only the analog front) plutt is simple, once having read the entire manual: I have to go back that a recovery.

Positives
---------------
If you have time to work on rpt 'presets are an absolute must. It also aid me because I make the table of another user for two days between the RPTS and live: the return over that plug, the sound is the m me!

Points ngatifs
----------------
The lack of memory gain.

UTILIZATION

Positives
---------------
I apprci qualiseur of bookstores and compressors that allow a rapid rglage Premire approach, and the fact that everything is bypassing to allow to see when we have not messed up the sound .

Points ngatifs
----------------
A dtail idiot, which I am not Russian dbarrasser: In the volume on is not directly related to the fader correspondents but it is the product of it by the volume of the slice in the Stro. It must be Designed to make the thing usable in live (sort of micro cutting violent when feedback ...) but in fact, the so Stro is a little office "Gain bis", this which does not have much intrt with a dsagrment empty: if you want to get an instrument in the Stro, increasing returns in all o is dj ... yay and feedback.

SOUNDS

Positive Point
-------------

I apprci recording numrique without a bit of noise (my recorder numrique a record low level and even with a 25 dB derrire not blow.)

OVERALL OPINION

Great progress!

See data sheet manufacturer!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very well thought.
Everything is provided for understanding the architecture. I had (and I still sometimes) a little trouble with the routing numrique but who am incrimination.
I have not read the manual because by walking through all the menus mthodiquement you understand everything. But I had the exprience of O2R.

SOUNDS

The converters are transparent.
The new plug-in are well incorporated and especially reverbs (including platform) much heavier than the old ones. The EQ may be a little LGERS.
Compressors are transparent (so it can also sometimes criticized) and work really well.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought a month ago for rpter and small concerts, I also used to record. I had one for years O2R with whom I got along well! I recorded a lot and mix with and I sold it because with a G5 and plugs in good quality (UAD among others) it was no longer justified. In the era I did not like the 01v that sounded bad all levels (pramplis, compressors, EQs, which did not sound). I am impressed and a little come a long way and sounds better than dsormais O2R of the era. It's a real rgal of rpter with this small console trs damn good. For just over Euro 2000 is simply INESPRE to have such a comfort.
For me the only choice now in this price range.
20/05/2011 edit. I use it now with octomic II RME gives me 8 pramplis high quality and more connected adat! I am always so happy!

To begin I would like to respond to the comment GGDPower ... The answer to your problem is very simple, in fact this is exactly the same as on an analog console and not a manufacturer wants to live, in fact, you put your aux returns for Post fader. Result when you shoot your slider to the RS, it rises in the level connections, where your feedback. For your cons Aux Effects to be (in most cases) post-fader!

Anyway regarding the console level feature everything has already been said, to note when the same input / output ADAT really nice, big sister missing on his 02R96 (and maps it cost candy).
Small negative point: no automation at this price but we will not complain!

UTILIZATION

The config is logical but if we do not control everything, you quickly get lost in the patch (with the inserts virtual plus physical inserts, etc. ...) but good basic functions are still within reach hand.
Regarding the manual, I read the diagram of the console.
In any case, it is easy to use, and extremely full! impressive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for exercise as part of my BTS AV, in parallel with 02R96 and the longer it goes, the more I realize it's a great console for the small project (multi-track recording, a small sound system, etc. ... ) and it's really nice for returns compared to analog!

What I like most: to safeguard the scene and the ability to prepare all the config in advance with StudioManager (free) ... that's really incredible time savings and incredibly easy ... Especially for the patch (well the grid)!

In conclusion a great little table and if I had my way I'll buy one! (More channels can be cascaded ...)
