All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha 01X

Everything has been said above

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale trs well.
It's ergonomic and accesible.
The manual is pretty much done, I beginners on a console digital and after a few hacks and readings Roulle ca.

SOUNDS

Trs sound good my taste (rl a step forward), having said that I spend an M-Audio Delta 24/96 this console.
Effects of trs always good quality in my opinion ....

OVERALL OPINION

I'm on it for 1 month and to be honest ke m'clate.
What makes the Difference rlle with other products in this range is the LCD screen, we see koi hack it and that's not a luxury, however it is 60mm faders CarRent short (little better but hey what the price!).
Report quality unbeatable price I think even if some knobs on trend in the fingers .... but hey again when you have a control surface, a console digital and a sound card, all for 1600, plus plugs of quality is more than respectable.
With the hindsight that I (my first console numrique, it is still important that I prcise, more passion and I am not professional) I would do this choice without hesitation.

Note: For info my cat pissed on at the transport buttons / zoom / console ....( scrub off) and bin it still works.
After opening of the 01X to clean it was perceived that the circuit boards are tilted, allowing the evacuation of liquids to the bottom mtallique (the cover is in mtal egallement)

So finally, for a home studio with me is a premium product, I do not live, and for others I think there are ways to find great satisfaction.
I will put an 9 / 10 well packed.

Console numrique mLAN (Firewire) table non rackable, Intgr audio and midi, 8 mic / line inputs with 2 XLR Mlane between 16 channels (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz), 8 channels ( 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz), 2 units of internal effects (43 types prdfinis), A / DD / A 24-bit, 1 between numrique, a Stro. Stro output bus, Bus REC, Bus auxiliary bus effect. LCD display (very practical)
PC / MAC and supports DIFFERENT software (Cubase, Logic, Sonar, etc ...)
comes with plugins (excellent quality and squenceur yamaha

UTILIZATION

The documentation is very well done and complements. The installation (PC) was done in minutes without problem, the LCD and see very practical and essential for me that's what makes the diffrence with the tascam. All important information are posted and we know you are always o. Utisa The console is intuitive and simple APRS have assimilated the principle of operation of a console numrique.
All buttons are high quality and well placed, but not tactile faders motoriss.

I expect the new drivers for Cubase as the original must be put in the 01X "mackie control".
Logic gre 01X better today.

SOUNDS

For my part, I find a trs sounds good, the effects are of excellent quality and good dynamic trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and I do not regret my choice, it is complte and is what I expect from a console in a 3 numrique. No latency, sufficient inputs and outputs, internal effects. With the same tactile faders and c'tait rack and perfect but it happens quite easily.

Congratulations Yamaha is a truly remarkable product that was missing on the market. His report QualitPerformance / trs price is right given the CHARACTERISTICS provided.

If you are looking for a console numrique all in one, easy to use and powerful, the Yamaha O1X is perfect!

To see CHARACTERISTICS



a minimum: for the price tascam owns more connectors.

UTILIZATION

Through plusiquers intall / uninstalled at beginners and install new drivers (many plsu stable), I must say it is easy to use, a regret that the driver does not start at boot, Bond click on "on" each time it nerva ...
Otherwise, it's ultra easy to use, in Drout beginners because it gets lost in the menu ... but you get done quickly and I do not understand how I could always do the mouse before!!
The manual is very complete ... want before I did not know much about consoles and j'tais a bit lost but I soon realized ...
We say that the faders are too short ..... no longer needed, it is more than enough ...
01X channel module allows for the equalization of the concole and reminds them in cubase ... ultra-convenient ..
The plugins are really good book ...

SOUNDS

The sound is what's !!!!!
Mutli powerful effect trs, trs good EQ.
Before I had an Edirol UA-20 ... has nothing to see ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one month and I start, I think well go out with me.
J'hsitais with tascam ... and if I do it again c'tait repeat the same choices and j'conomiserai time to head me for nothing ...

See above for dtails ...
just missing out supplmentaires to work in 5.1 and WDM drivers working in recording (WDM driver for playback only) ... but hey, there's certainly a partnership with Steinberg in the air for mLan ... so it's really optimized ASIO for now ...
one last little BMOL the 60mm fader, even if I find a sufficient personal and non-touch (but there is a button to resume or returning control of the motor faders trs works well. ..), it was for those that compare with the Tascam FW1884, but the Yamaha assets Whereas the Tascam has not ... see below

UTILIZATION

Easy setup, everything is clear, the manual is very well done, and the ergonomics are well thought plutt ...
everything is very well done! updates the drivers and firmware have filled some bugs ...
It's like a standalone 01V, and Remote, you have a Mackie Control ... of happiness ... 2 for the price of one!! Intgr and effects allow you to offload your CPU expensive treatments with a more assignage bus and intuitive ... PC-01X dialogue is transparent particulirement ... and in addition you have a DSP card in the lot ... will: 3 in 1 ...

SOUNDS

L word, it's just perfect, the quality of high-end Yamaha ...
trs good sound, fully transparent converters, internal effects of good quality and good rendering trs ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had little time but I toured the opportunity to test all the features and limitations of the device, and I think it is a tool which he gnial trs lack little to be just perfect ... but for that price, it's standard, the more I toured the functionality DIFFERENT MODELS competitors, and only the 01X met my requirements
I do it again this choice without hsiter!! even if I hsit dpart with the Tascam, but the standalone mode and DSPs have made the diffrence Intgr ...

Digital audio interface / MIDI and control surface.
44.1khz/48khz/88.6khz/96khz
Integrated DSP effects
Compatible in most sequencers known.
Cursors short but sufficient, and motorized.

UTILIZATION

Implementation difficult for a beginner.
Installation a bit tricky to implement but guided by the windows ...
Manual organized.
The orders are clear for me.

SOUNDS

Excellent sound, very pro ...
Transparency record.
Quality effects ready. Guitarists, you APREC sounds with delay and distortion amp simulator.
High quality preamp. False rumors that they are zero!
In fact, taken on the microphones, with a good micro (very important, no stage or microphone preamp with external) is very good ...

OVERALL OPINION

I love it!
A quality / price ratio very interesting.

Regret very stupid: a switch monitors / headphones to mute the speakers while recording. A tip: connect its active monitors with a power switch on and off with each shot voice!

I would do that choice again!

The 01X is a numrique console, an audio interface for computer afternoon (mac & pc) and a control surface. It runs on a network of m-lan firewire port (large or small sizes). It has 8 inputs (2 xlr power supply with fantme and 6 jacks for guitar input + 8). There is also a between numrique (spdif). Outputs to, monitor, headphone (1) and numrique. MIDI: 2 in and 2 out.
It possde increments of equals, a sction effects ddies dynamics and 2 multi-effects gnralistes.
It can be automated but beware that from a squenceur.
It possde from a firewire m-lan for other perifs like 88x (extension of the same brand to grow 16 entries).
Overall, it trs complete with a small BMOL between 6 input jack (we would prfr the power supply with XLR fantme).

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple and the manual is a bit lightweight (but in French, thank you). That said, when we practiced a little bit of bte, everything is in order and you get to do what you want.
Big positive point for the implementation complte sequencers (cubase for me), all are direct ACCS pr-configured, the level is very easy to use.
Ngatif point: m-lan drivers are fairly resource-intensive, careful not to run the machine with too little computer. (Me: laptop with PIV 2.8 ghz and 512 ram, a generally well run, about fifty audio tracks if there are not too many plug-ins).

SOUNDS

The preamps are not evils. The effects of dynamic properties are plutt (thank you presets), are the equals of the great (re-thank you presets) and multi-effects are correct.
For me, in this area, so good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I am satisfied with TRS.
Strengths:
- All on one cable
- The effects of dynamic
- The property equals trs trs
- Two multi-effects
- Well think the connections (and outputs to the monitor)
- The screen (not on its competitor (tascam fw))
- Sound
- The CONTRL perfectly integrated into the sequencers
- Size

Weaknesses:
- 2 XLR inputs that
- Resources necessary to run the pilot
- Ergonomics at the beginning rather complex

At that price if you count the one audio interface numrique afternoon, the multi-effects, a surface CONTRL, table numrique mix, the ratio quality price is unbeatable.

I bent the beginning louse tascam fw, but I prfr the Yamaha because of the screen and built-in effects.
If c'tait again .... no problem, I go back!

Ohhh! How beautiful is the 01x!
good level analog inputs, will ... 8 inputs including 2 XLR with pramp (even when a little lightweight but good)
Output Level EHJV a little, 2 Stereo outputs, a headphone jack and an SPDIF, and the headphone level is the same as the standard monitor Gnant be little but good.
Otherwise motoriss faders, good effects (including an amp simulator, but not exceptional handy 4 band ...), qualiser Settings, dynamics processing on each slice and control everything from what the studio manager come quickly go through the menus.

UTILIZATION

A little time to properly configure the galre mLAN and samplitude Pourquié I pass it on Hard. and no worries, it's wonderful! is tapped little machine by looking at the screen, you forget the mouse, there is the pleasure of mixing on the real buttons. it's beautiful .... should grow well even when the levels I find the mic but nothing mchant.

SOUNDS

The sound is clear, prcis, the quality of pramp trs suitable, I often add a pramp lamp and it's wonderful. back is just as beautiful, the sound that comes back is the same that was sent is not much to say.

OVERALL OPINION

I put 9 because perfection does not exist.
That said, the price of the console, there is nothing to say, she does everything and I'm not PRS me spare.
VIVA YAMAHA !!!!!

For dtails see the card.
A well-designed machine. I like the look and rgonomie.
Faders motoriss non dbrayables. Be careful when opration automation same as I feel they are not the trs robust 60 mm faders.
Ditto for the gain knobs. They look fragile.
In short, it's a console handle with care, watch out for sharp people!
I prfer an e / s digital optical instead of coax.
MLAN sync only, word clock or ADAT not ...
The headphone out combined with the monitor is also dplorer. In the studio, I use the Stereo output to feed my monotors.

UTILIZATION

As I use the i88x with 01X, the facility does a galre. Mj firmwire driver and the console, several Reinstalling, hardware incompatibility. Anyway, a nightmare that lasted over a month and a half.
But once it works, is happiness. IDAL tool for the Maoists: Inerface Digital audio / MIDI CONTRL surface, mixing console nurique .... For me by, I Interacting with SX 2. There is no major conflict.
This is my Premire numrique console but I can say that getting started is simple once you read the manual and you have the idea.
Yamaha has Epargne of menu and sub menu no longer an end, everything is accessible (or almost) with simple buttons. Just a few remarks:
- The buttons and remotes internal PRS Botons slction layers of t would have better
- Menu edition of the effects is somewhat Drout.
I put 7 because of the difficulties I had to install it

SOUNDS

The A / D and D / A are correct, although transpatents.
I am of the same opinion that all the world on pramplis: not great. Any fawn, there necessarily a weak link in any device in an always like 01X. I also saw her taking, close your eyes.
Sction for effect, I could finally hear rvrb real, not like those of cubase. But we must go with modration because I feel they cool quickly trs sound (the numrique what). Other effects (modulation, amp simlateur) are less interesting. Oh except the pitch is high trs!
The EQet the process dynamics are trs trs effective. Yamaha big thank you. The presets are a great value trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months and I am just thrilled.
The Plus: Multifunctionality of the Reverb, EQ and dynamic integrated, motorized fader automation under SX (it's wonderful to see them move on its own, a patent customers!)
In -: Too fragile, not cache dusts on the faders (of dusts, there are among us), no real group of channels, hazardous installation.
The ratio quality / price trs interesting, it is almost given. My biggest concern is the life of the faders.
If possible, configure it with your PC at the saleswomen to avoid any dcption, especially if one is not double trs computer.
Yes I would do the choice, I look even better out of it or 02x

A 9 / 10 for no word clock input.

UTILIZATION

So good,
For anyone who knows the Yamaha digital consoles, the handling is a cinch. In stand alone mode, the console is usable although I would advise to make the sound studio with no manager, but given the possibilities of the beast, anything is possible (while remaining in the proportions of the internal bus of course).
For neophytes, take the time to read the manual, it is well done and explains everything, even the basic concepts of mixing, Mrs. manufacturers take example ... with a little patience and concentration you have a really really powerful tool.

The config on my PC went by without any problems (10 minutes by my watch) do I have the chance?

In terms of routing, I am amazed, we keep the same principle and almost the same flexibility as the Big Sisters of the series 96. What a pity mLan ports are not as flexible as the physical inputs!!

The Instrument input works really well, no need to DI! if so really.

SOUNDS

It is on the converters it is gate. Sympathy for yamaha frankly I would say they are using. The use of an external preamp is required. The upside is that at 8 preamp microphone automatically (although the last 6 are TRS without phantom power supply) which can be used ...

For internal processing is the yamaha, but not effective trenscendant, the EQ, compressor, gate and others do their job, nothing more or less, and offer everything you could wish to mix properly. The color and the "big sound" will only be achieved through devices, but the routing is powerful enough to consider a hybrid configuration really push.

The effects are the same as the 96, so efficient and clean as it remains moderate in the assay. but everyone knows that too much effect kills the effect!! the amp simulations are more than sufficient to replace the product type Vamp for a guitarist who wants to make own demos.

OVERALL OPINION

Great art!

It is MUCH more than a computer interface / control surface. The possibilities are immense and mixing the option of adding 16 I / O via mLan is really interresting.

If we forget the preamp, it's flawless and considering the price we can invest in ancillary equipment.

so do not hesitate, go for it!

I think everything was said and t rpt lowest
The IDE combines with numrique console EQ, comp, effects, etc. .. + + MIDI CONTRL surface is simply gniale, that is for a home studio as the live.

UTILIZATION

If like me you use it Premire console, good luck :-(...
It's really not fair to simply understand the official documentation.
Fortunately there is now enough information on the forum to take his first steps without too much rowing (thank you Coyote 14 for his tutorial ...).

SOUNDS

- The console is transparent?
yes
- Introduced she breath?
no breath
- The qualiseur is it effective?
yes, even the effects

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
three years
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
no it's my Premire
- How do you report qualitprix?
exellent, 600 euros in the opportunity right now ...
- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
hsiter without ...

Great deal even if the handling can be quickly dcourageante.

Couple via the mLAN network i88x, the possibilities are standard.

I had a problem with APRS serious one and a half (bought new) .. APRS sales and service has set three months before finding the problem! But since no more problem.

Everything has been said about the characteristics.

Unfortunately it is not rack and nothing is planned for STD. Two strips must be tinkering with dimensions 19 "if you want to place it in a rack but it is not obvious.
Too bad.
Another black spot, it lacks a truly independent monitor output, the possibility of routing at this level are candidly "cheap".

Obviously some will have noted the absence of 6 XLR input and 48V power supply to all .... No doubt an economy on the price.

Good reliable connections over the lack of XLR and especially rackabilité, it's -3.

The rest of the features for the price it's a no-fault or almost so say 6.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple for anyone who knows how to use .... but anyway it is still tedious and time-set views the possibilities of the craft and the many menus to manage (Patch Input / Output Patch / Effects / more Dyn and the EQ for each channel and departures auciliaires)
Say it is not a console for anyone who just wants to push the fader, put a little EQ and have sound .... or anyone who wants to constantly edit the current setting of the concert. Live it would require almost an engineer appointed as a great .... Only the number of channels changes, and even 24 is not bad turn.

So for me the console is not a problem, say 9 / 10 but instead the book is really wrong. Lots of things are not explicit in it and it takes practice to get by.
So 7 / 10 because of the manual

SOUNDS

Edit May 2010:

Recently I plugged headphones on an amp Analog Monitor Output: Sound mix rotten !!!!!

So I routed the bus monitor to the i88x (Ana outputs 1 & 2) and then I feed my headphone amp as well: His superb.

Conclusion: The analog output -10 dBV to 01x are rotten !!!!!!!
(This is not the case of phones out, rather as honest as power)
Note: During all the years I did not serve the analog outputs of the 01x I was able to measure their level of mediocrity (I attack the facade SPDIF 24-bit 48 kHz through a digital processor ...)


It is transparent, yes. Paint the tracks and it does not present.
The preamps are blah and if possible to be reserved for instruments or line level microphones with high levels (near battery). After 14 hours on the gain of breath sounds and is more common. Cup and the sound becomes fuzzy. Do not expect to get a condenser microphone
By winning against the mini (line) inputs behave like simple line level converters AN, and converters are just totally honest.
Synths on the fact that perfectly.
HiZ input for guitar or bass did not convince me because the preamp was the very breath tjs matched in impedance and a low-gain passive it requires .....
I go low in the 8 line level but after a (good) preamp out ...

Finally, the analog outputs -10 dB unbalanced frankly sucks. In addition the quality is not strange, especially on the output monitor.
The headphone output is not great either.
However the SPDIF output is of course totally transparent and dynamic ...
So if you have a facade treatment (filter and EQ) in 24-bit digital input you know what you have to do.

The EQ and effects are truly effective and transparent but the graphics are poorly done for the 01x editor. It "sees" what is wrong in the settings and it takes about his ears as his eyes. As usual course, but this is misleading.

Well let's say 6 / 10 because of the quality preamps and analog outputs

OVERALL OPINION

I got it in 2004, and I have added a i88x in 2005. The couple works wonders.

The analog outputs are really pro i88x (+4 dB and a real sound ...) and thus fill the gap in the 01x.
Preamp inputs of i88x are also really incomparable with the preamp of 01x.

Yes I know it is considered not i88x here but still it means that we can aquérir a 01x without worrying about some of the missing, provided they add a i88x.
It's rare enough to be reported.

There is to my knowledge still is no alternative in the same box incorporating both a live digital console EQ / DYN by two more multi effects, a control surface for DAW, and finally a "sound card" multi input / output.

The ability to use it as sound card + total recall console for live multitrack recording in the PC group (pre EQ / DYN or post EQ / DYN or post fader to choose from!) While leaving the mix of front (up to 24 channels) is really great.

The idea of ​​MLAN is excellent for the home studio and live .. But unfortunately the difficulty of apprehension for the novice denied a deserved success of Yamaha.
And we had a private O2x "pro" long hoped.

I would do with closed eyes the same choice as in 2004 I wondered if others would not do better in the genre, but this is good, I know.

Some are better preamp, others converters, but none has everything under one roof as does Yamaha.

So my overall opinion is excellent despite the flaws mentioned above. 9 / 10.

Nice little console for recording / sound / mixing stage.
Connectors enough to catch live bands as small jacks 6.35 8 inputs including 2 XLR microphone + alim so ...
Console automated (automation) memory routing INPUTS and OUTPUTS.
Each slice is equipped with 3-band parametric EQ and dynamics processor (with a library of presets, EQ + dynamics).
All these settings are saved settings on the PC Studio Manager. We can obviously re-inject these settings PC-01X console
Syncro 24bit/96kHz and frequency which is not bad at all! I put 8 / 10 because the software remains laborious side which is sad in 2008/2010

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple: read the manual several times at each step of the configuration or well for dipping procedures or the meaning of each procedure.
The manual is synthetic, it is necessary to dive regularly but it is still worth the shot because the bug still displays a certain flexibility that is not negligible (can be very flexible routing anyway for the price and quality!) .
The per-game controls are direct access (system settings pages). it becomes complicated because the current parameter values are not displayed directly. It's easier by the Studio Manager. Moreover, some parameters are only accessible by the Studio Manager. Which may be binding for mixing stage.

I note 7 / 10 for the config console that requires a lot of proofreading. But hey, it is true that by the Studio Manager software, all tasks of setup is easy, but on stage again ... Or so it must be pretty well organized and prepare for the job at home ...

SOUNDS

The treatment is clear, the dynamics is respected, are effective EQ, dynamics as well.

His question, I put 9 / 10: you can have good sound with this console, be familiar with the sound, which is still essential in zic!

OVERALL OPINION

I use for almost three years.
This is my first external system like this. I was using a Korg D1200 digital multitrack or ADAT interface for DSP2000 and I do not know what brand that suited me well but the 01X is much more efficient and peoples full and far.
For the price, we would like a sytème with more processing power but these systems already exist and are obviously more expensive DM2000 02R96 etc. ... I dream at night!
What I like the setup is flexible routing, the effectiveness of treatments based EQ + Dynamic with different presets and type of dynamic compressor, expander, compander ...) The software inputs (16 channels). The pssoibilité couple of other systems mLan is not negligible either, but I have not had time to explore this feature ...
As it turns out that secondhand, ven when the choice is very interesting for a musician who wants to be a good little home studio, produce scale models of high quality home or make scenes effectively.
Quick reminder to other AFien, I never had a problem with his "rotten" from my 01X! may be setting a bad passing by ...

the only major drawback of this machine is the software management: driver for XP than in case of change of config should re-install the drivers .. Why can not they make drivers for Yamaha Plug n 'Play, things are a little more automatic?

I note even when 9 / 10 because the 01X despite its limitations remains a superb tool for making good zic.

Wow were do I start. If you own a computer and like me have a budget then buy this. My computer is 2.5Gb Athlon, 512 RAM which is fine for me because I use external synths, but once I add a few effects in cubase and EQ it starts to struggle. Now I do all my processing externally through the 01X, EQ, effects etc are a breeze for the 01X so the only strain on my CPU now is the track count. Also as a controller for Cubase it's flawless and now Yamaha own Steinberg this is only gonna get better. I use alot of MIDI gear so if I'm gonna split hairs the 01X could do with a few more MIDI channels. To sum up if I was to put together a recording system like the one I have without using the 01X...it would cost me at least 3 times the price and would probably be half as good and trying to get them all to live together in harmoney would probably give me a few more ulcers!!!!!!

Price paid

999 GBP

UTILIZATION

Easy peasy, done exactly what it sais on the tin. However the 01xray.com site will show you some folks who have had a few problems!

Works fine after 18M

SOUNDS

The sound quality of this unit is amazing. The pre amps are top drawer. AD/DA is so good it's untrue. The only problem I have sound wise is with the reverb. However I must tell you that I use the Alesis Midiverb 4 which although cheap (I paid 70 GBP) I think it is untouchable in it's price range.

OVERALL OPINION

I won a few quid recently and upgraded my gear....the only bit of kit I couldn't find anything better forafter 18 months was my Yammy (my pet name ssshhhhh she's asleep)
