Yamaha DM1000

Console rack (brackets optional I think)
48 channels with 4 band parametric EQ, dynamics section (gate + comp), 8 with the comp + eq on the master to send, ditto on the bus 8, 16 preamps, 4 omni in (rutable anywhere), 12 omni out.
2 i / o stereo numriques. and two media expansion card. in short the total (noon, word clock in out ..)
Sample Rate 96khz max of fine quality transparent enough (although the 02R + first gnration) preamp effective and low colors (still nothing to do with the 02R)
4 of 52 multi-effects in-house effects, but more than enough to live just rec level quality. think to add to it a good time limit that is not Intgr trs beautiful. damage as there is no qualo graphic as the 2000, which is useful live.

UTILIZATION

If a ream adj console digital and especially a yam, the handling is quick. if we do not know anything can be a bit rough (but valid for any console just powerful). Most menus are clear and there aen gnral not need to navigate over to find what we seek (good live). pity that no one ACCS dirct all the functions of a slice (comp. ..) was "only" the right to routing and eq.

SOUNDS

It is transparent, which may seem like its cold enough for some. IDAL for acoustic music. she knows to be forgotten.

OVERALL OPINION

was 1 1 / 2 years I use it in sound or rec for the box with which I work, and I love it even if I prfer of 2000. many more functions than a 01v 96, one ahead of his 02rv1. + A neutral DM24.
no crash for now, if I could buy it for me I would do without hsiter.

Rackable
48 input channels with 16 microphones and 4 line-in and 32 in / out ADAT
12 omni outputs (IDAL for returns for example)
36 digital outputs
while XLR
4-band para eq
4 internal effects of good quality

96 kHz/24 bit
Internal automation

UTILIZATION

Config easy thanks to the internal routing of the console (actually a real treat)
a manual adequate and clear

SOUNDS

So it's probably the best point of this console, pack your boxes and other mindprint microphones, less to type in the Manley or processors worth several times the price of this BCAN, you probably best couple pramp Converto the moment. transparent, if one adds the fact that the internal compressors are of good quality, was on hand all you need to make excellent recordings, especially on acoustic sources, drums etc ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this console for 13 months as a couple with a map & RME Nuendo. put this package in the wind all the world's Protools. I use ts day, taken in live (concerts) in the studio (Albums).
I work since ending for ten years with digital consoles, and I tried almost everything is to make sre that sound faade ergonmique there's more, but it is not his vocation first. It leaves the competition far behind, especially the Tascam.
this price there's no competition tural also do you know a lot of consoles that can make returns of 8 channels and record 24 tracks simultaneously. and this with three different formats in the same night? me either, but finally if three or more times qutre CHRE and the quality is not really superior.
all to say that yes I would do this choice. without hsitation

As we have already described, I stay there.

UTILIZATION

I work with for almost 5 years, and when we know well everything is possible.
I work with mostly live (recording too) and although it was not originally designed for it I find it very ergonomic
with easy access to all features, or 12 outputs we can assign any signal above, delay on all inputs and output (as opposed to the LS9, which I frankly find much less live)
With a very small console, two external equalos, 2 front speakers and 4 returns we can really have a big sound like the big shows ..

SOUNDS

Super converters, good dynamics for a digital console (it is still not a midas)
He lacks great multi effects and dynamics processing (I envy the owners of VCM ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I never ever would sell.
I work a lot with music and sound on this point is a killer.
I started with Yamaha digital consoles in 1996 with promix 01 (very nil ..), 01V (already a first revolution ..) 01V96 (already super ..) and after the DM 1000 (which still impresses me sometimes ) then PM5D and LS9 (The one who did not give me more at Yam)

With this console I do a balance when the system is well timed in 10 minutes stalling front and back together (sometimes even 5 minutes ..)

Level value for money there are no pictures, very correct
