hi, this question must have been asked a gazillion times but i'm ready here and now.

i'd been eyeing a mackie 1604 vlz pro as my next logical upgrade. the sound quality is quite superb and far excels what i have now (studiomaster 16:2).

in the meantime however, i've noticed that alot of people here have digital mixers. i've always been told (mackie seminar) that analogue has a warmer sound.

now the newer generation is about i wondered what's new. hi-price digital mixers are now more affordable so should i indulge.

i'm not in a position to audition every mixer available (no stores nearby) but a recommendation would be good.

i have an akai s5000, supernova, vintage keys, R8, JX10 and effects units. i need inputs more than anything but cost is a factor.

whats the pros and cons?

thanx for unbiased advice

ciao

There are 16 'normal' analog inputs.

There is only room for one expansion board, so if you want digital I/O don't order the analog input expansion board.

no way man. low overhead. dont drink that much anymore. no drug habits. no girlfriend. great driving record so insurance is cheap. minor credit bills.

as for the Inputs on the O1v. 16, but 12 mono 2 stereo.

8 in analog card is about $220 or so?

And..uh..."if you want digital IO"???? uh..its GOT spdif IO. if you want ADAT IO you need the adat card and yeah, it only takes one card, so

Yeah, influx, that's what I meant.

I bought the adat expansion to connect the 01v to my computer for multitrack recording and playback.

I'll use the spdif in to hook up the K2000RS if possible.

if you want to record fader movements manually in realtime, not via midi through the sequencer, am i right in thinking this machine can't do it.

was the promix 1 able to do this??

if the 01v can't do this, what can - only high end machines??

I don't think it's possible to record fader movements in realtime.

However, it is possible to set a fade time (up to 25 seconds) to fade from one scene to another. This fade probably includes gradually moving faders towards the new scene's fader positions.

"...record fader movements in realtime"
should be
"record fader movements in realtime without an external sequencer"
