Yamaha 01v Mixer Compatible With New Os Review

Shall I buy a yamaha 01v96i mixer in 2019?

---

Dear Community
It seems similar I am in a revolving door on the manner in to the adjacent move in my game of "Buy your next Mixer/audio interface''.
I am using Cubase Artist ten at the moment with Windows 10 on PC and plenty of RAM.

I am on the verge of purchasing a Yamaha 01v96i as all my paths to my revolving situation have brought me here. I am still in a few minds when it comes to which board I should purchase.

Allen Heath R16 FIREWIRE?
Sound Craft 22 FIREWIRE?
Presonus sixteen:4:2 FIREWIRE?

Yamaha 01v96i USB?

With USB still very usable and supported and Firewirer on the edge of extinction.

I would actually like an counterpart mode hybrid console with multi channel and Daw capabilities.
Delight dear forum, tin can y'all offer some advice to this Solid Land Survivor who is clinging on to the old Yamaha 01v96i raft.

out of these mixers, i'd certainly would pick the yamaha likewise! - not sure how much i'd still pay for a rather 'old' mixer though...

the somewhat more sophisticated dm1000 (which has no usb only 2 menu slots) has been serving me very well for shut to 20 years now.

(i have been stepping up to a far larger desk though)

I would go with the Yamaha 01v96i. I accept the 01V back in the day. Then l stepped it upwards to The Yamaha O2R the O2R 96. I dearest those boards.

Same here Dave - ProMix01->02R.

Sold the 02R to become ITB and have yet to get things up-and-running again, so the fear's all the same at that place that I might miss it.

Big fan of Yamaha boards 'cause they're robust and fantastic value. Even the connectors **** all over the competition.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am nearly there on my decision. I am filled with confidence that the 01v96i volition be a big part of my ITB and OTB approach.
Accept yous used whatever of the expansion cards and for which purpose?

Man I miss that O2R, when Yam made that it was the best! MPC2000XL and O2R philharmonic, was the dopest. I was killing it with those 2.
Me also, I went ITB, I never idea I would do it. Only when I found out what it was and what got my attention was NO, NOISE FLOOR! I went from All hardware, to Hybrid to ITB, and I am loving it. I dearest being compact. I have to top notch synths and sounds and I am skillful. I get more bang for the buck. I had to leave PT and the Mac alone it was messing me upwards. Ane time back in like 2012 it messed me upwardly so bad I couldn't do music for a month straight! I got rid of all that stuff. Now I am good. Only I miss that O2R,

I just stumbled across this site looking for places to buy a new 01v96i. Similar yous, all paths proceed leading back to this board. In particular, its size, MIDI capabilities, routing flexibility and relatively decent furnishings.

I don't like tracking in DAWs, and find constantly having to battle latency and moving between different mixers for monitoring and recording frustrating. I find it actually hard to believe that mixing and monitoring completely in the box has become an adequate norm, because I find the latency (particularly with headphones) really distracting.

Some of the things that appeals to me still most the 01v96i versus the new generation of digital mixers is: 96khz operation, ample expansion options, and a complete MIDI implementation. All things that are missing from the X32s, QU16s and TF1s of the world.

I say go for it!

And **Inserts** on every channel!

Me thinks I volition be having a 01V96i. If simply for the Input and Output possibilities as I really like externals, noise and all. I would like to retrieve Yamaha and Steinberg have done a proficient chore marrying Cubase ten with the 01V96i and there won't be too much latency. Cubase Pro 10 looks like another thing that I will take to become with from Cubase Creative person. There seems to exist skillful opportunity for external processor intergration here. The Yamaha USB driver was updated in March this yr and Yamaha are proudly promoting the 01V96i on the website, even after all these years. I hope the time and effort is worth it and I am not disappointed.

Awesome - personally I retrieve information technology'south a good pick, even later all these years. It'due south really the last digital mixer on the market that is targeted at both alive and studio use, rather than just live use. I feel like a lot of its successors have been dumbed down too - easier to utilise (great for live!), but not so flexible.

The main downside of the 01v96 series has ever been the caput amps, merely it always has ADAT to apply with some nicer converters for more than disquisitional work.

Biggest problem I'thou having at the moment is finding where to buy one - Thomann have them in stock, only won't ship Yamaha gear to my country due to their dealership understanding :(

I've too got a 01v96i for several years now and I'grand very pleased with information technology. It's not a "sexy" desk-bound by far and you lot take to know it well to become around all the menus and pages on its dull screen. Only it is dead quiet (typically Yamaha "ultraclean" sound), solid USB connexion and drivers (Mac Bone) and has many proficient features (I/O patching, routing, FX).
I like the newer mixers better for their layout and they offering more inputs (and outputs - the 01v but has 4 OMNI outs - so you lot'll demand an expansion card when you've got 5.i monitors and outboard FX) - only none of them can go 96kHz, which is my studio standard. So the 01v is the best for now.

Im considering this desk-bound

If I connect my ADAT box to information technology, that would add 8 inputs... but would so have to use the screen to route those to the maximum 16 channels over USB? Basically, i cant have 24 channels over USB?

Yamaha 01V96 -
The 01V96 already has one fix of ADAT In and Out ports as standard, so adding a dual-ADAT expander carte means a 24-rails recorder can be accommodated entirely in the digital domain, with the proviso that sample rates of 44.1kHz or 48kHz are used.

I used the original version of the 02R in my ADAT studio open up to the public for about 5 years. Late 90'south early 2000'southward.

By using external preamp going right into the ADAT car I turned into a tracking business firm, but mixing, the O2R lacked the quality I desired.

The best role of the O2R is the speed and simplicity of automatic mixing. Fantastic interface to save and recall automated mix's.

The down side is the preamps are a bit muddy in the mid range, the EQ'southward, compressors, and effects are not the best sounding.

At that time, I had an Allen and Heath mixer that sounded amend for mixing than the O2R.

Take this with a grain of table salt. At the time everything was 18 chip 48K.

The lower end digital mixers offer lot's of bang/buck. But don't fool yourself into thinking it's a lower cost high stop mixer.

I just did my shopping for a new mixer. A good mixer has headroom for +24 inputs. Rather than echo myself, here is a cross ref to another thread.

Yeah, Allen & Heath mixers are generally beautifully-built, quiet, accurate, detailed and pretty much pro in every mode.

Can't get wrong with 'em IMHO.

Necroing this thread, the 01V96i has captured my interest every bit a DAW Mixer controller & i/o expansion for my RME FF802. Is this ane still worth getting or are the meliorate alternatives out there at this bespeak?

Just seen this thread. I just picked up the Yamaha 01v96i here in the UK last week brand new for £899 i recall information technology's an amazing mixer, I oasis't even scratched the surface and it'south built similar a tank. Don't know how much these were on release but the toll I paid seemed to be quite a deal.

In that location are 3 still bachelor here if anyone was looking to buy one.

I have the 01V96v2 (non i) -my major disappointment was discovering the 4 Midi Remote Banks are NOT motorised -
the faders neither change to previous values when changing between banks one-4 or reply to incoming midi .

For the Audio modes of the mixer the faders DO as described above .
The advertising seems therefore disingenuous as everything implies the midi control would behave similar to the Sound modes with full motorisation.

Could i version users confirm if they have full motorised Remote Midi Banks control ? maybe it was implemented in the later version.
If not potential buyers should be fabricated aware of this .

(unless my unit is just broken??)

I haven't even hooked up my 01v96i yet Iv'e got Covid ffs but I hear nearly the onboard FX are they whatsoever good? Hopefully I'll exist ok soon to endeavour out this mixer.

the VCM add-on fx are excellent: 1176, DBX 160A, Massenburg eq emulation, various famous main record machines. They audio really good. The internal stock fx are ok. In contrast to the DM1000, the 01v96 series can't internally concatenate its fx engines.
