Subject: Yamaha 01v or AW4416?
Original Message Date: 02-Jan-01 @ 04:48 PM - Yamaha 01v or AW4416?
i downsized, sold bits of gear and now have the minimum i need to get intimate with.
the only thing that's missing now is outboard gear and a decent mixer. i have abit of outboard gear (compressor and effects unit) but that's it. the mixer definately let's the side down.
so whilst i try to analyze my finances this year (2001) what would you think i would get most longevity out of?
i'm not even sure what purpose either i've mentioned will help me accomplish. i want professional, polished sound which compared to my old studiomaster 16:2 analogue hiss monster, i'm sure both would suffice.
i would imagine there would be about a £1000.00 difference in price by the time i wanted to buy. that seems an awful lot of money. can anyone give me some knowledge??

they care if it works. if it has energy. this is DANCE music right? well..sometimes...
and before digital, when bedroom studios were still around but not using O1vs or even ProMix01s or any of those...people got good mixes out of "not good" boards, no?
yes.
and why wont the O1v last long? OF COURSE the compressors arent that good! Its a $1000 mixer! well..more retail but...
the EQ works damn well, and the compressors do their job.
the FX are fairly solid as well, altho I often wonder why the gave both processors the exact same patches...

the compressors are great for level control but if you want them to add extra musical character you're going to be disappointed; that's not what they're for.

Is there digital (adat or spdif) outboard gear available ? Or do we have to convert back to analog and then back to digital after processing ?

Perhaps it could be routed through the pc ? The Hammerfall has three adat outs and three adat ins.
Doesn't sound like a good solution.
