>I'm curious... how do you like your 01V? I have an AW4416, but may change to >a computer-based DAW. Editing is prehistoric on the 4416. What's the rest of >your setup like? (HW/SW)... Ok, now this configuration is VERY new and to tell the truth, I haven't had much time to find the errors in it, yet, as there indubitably will be. But, here's what I've got: Dell Poweredge 4200 dual-PIII 800 512MB 133ECC RAM 2x 18GB 7200RPM SCSII HD 8x4x32 CD-RW RME Project Hammerfall Lite (2x ADAT I/O) Cubase 5.0.3 ACID Pro 2.0 Sound Forge 4.5 Reason 1.0 Yamaha 01V w/ ADAT expansion card Mackie SR24-4 24ch, 4-bus analog board Tascam stand alone CD burner (I forget the model) 2x Line6 DL4 Korg AM8000R Lexicon MPX-100 Electrix Filter Factory Electrix Repeater Beta Just Kidding Line6 POD v1 Yahama DG-1 Stomp Buncha Crap We're in the process of building our new studio space, so we haven't got everything in its permanant place. What I can tell you is that the Hammerfall works beutifully under Win2000 (needed to capitalize on the dual processors) and that Cubase hasn't misbehaved yet. I'm still working on the integration of the 01V with Cubase. It should be easier than I'm probably making it, seeing that 01V support is built in. To tell the truth, I'm a bit of a MIDIphobe. Never really worked with it before, but am confronted with a MIDI-controlled studio, so have to dive in. I'm definately still learning. But for basic tracking, up to eight at a time, the set-up is flawless so far. I'm sure someone with more experience working with a MIDI control surface or the 01V as such could help out more--I'd sure listen. I'd love to switch over to SAWStudio, with its super-efficient coding, dual-processor support and integration of the 01V as a control surface. $2500 is a bit stiff, though. Oh, and I need a real patchbay. Currently, the Mackie board is serving as a pseudo patch bay/switching device. It works, though. But in terms of your real question: how do I like the 01V?--I love it. Sounds great. The on-board effects are good, the compression and EQ especially. The way I plan to work, though, means that if I don't intend to print those effects to track, I won't benefit from them 'cause I'll be mixing in the computer. Still nice to have, though. And I don't think I could ever mix or edit without some sort of tactile interface again. It is sooooo much faster and intuitive. There are a lot of control surface units coming out: Mackie's HUI and now with Logic, the Logic Control. Events USB thing. Steinberg's Houston. Motormix. The Peavey thing. Lots. And there's definately a reason why. L
