i need more effects, another compressor and a patchbay. so more outboard gear as i'm lacking in that dept.

however, i also want an o1v mixer but financially i'm not quite ready.

so should i put the money for the outboard gear towards the 01v instead.

i underatdn the 01v has effects, compressors and an internal patchbay. can anyone tell me the quality of the 01v in relation to some half decent outboard gear.

does the 01v have seperate compressions and effects on each channel??

is the patchbay a pain??

thanks for your advice

yeah, you convinced me to go buy one you bastard ......even sold the mpc for the bugger. Good thing I love it then else I`d be angry or something. Just about the only thing I`ve ever owned other than the smapler that hasn`t annoyed the hell out of me ......oh, but now the buttons are screwed on the smapler so make that just the 01v

Another happy convert then in r-tek, even sold the venerable MPC to get it eh... then my powers are growing...

About the Emu thing, I'd hassle them as well but remember they're located in the wilds of Scotland (nice and inaccessible) so phone calls & shipping won't come cheap...

You don't need inserts unless you want to use the desk's pre-amps with a mic level signal or somethin. So don't let the lack of inserts bother you.

I`ve tried by phone and they just keep giving me shit about "wear and tear" .........an 18 month old piece of equipment which has cost me over 2 grand to date, fucking wear and tear. Who the fuck spends all that money on a piece and *doesn`t* use it a lot? Fuck. Well, I`ve written a letter to the customer services manager so I`m gonna havta wait and see ..........failing that it`ll be emu in america.Sorry for disrupting the thread.

Once again: the lack of inserts is not an issue if you want to use outboard compressors unless you want to use the desk mic pre-amps before the compressor to bring the gain up to a usable level for the compressor to act on. If the signal is already line level you just patch the compressor in-line with the desk input. So its only an issue for mic-level signals in which case you need to use an outboard mic-pre prior to the compressor.

yep, Rowboffin is correct there.

Sticking a patchbay in line with the mixer inputs would give a whole load of insert points... Behringer Ultrapatch only 40 quid, that would give you 24 insert points, just the ticket.

I suppose you could use the omni outs for outboard effect sends.
