Default YAMAHA!!!!!

Right After 2 weeks of having the O1x ive come to the conclusion its a proper piece of shit!!!
Even yamaha have admitted its been rushed out and its practically an unfinished model!

I cant be fucked to wait around for updates and bug fixes every other month not worth it especially when our studio needs to be up and running (cant go with out the cash)

Basically The CPU Hogs like a bitch it like adds an extra 45 % load to the normal and it crashes and loses sync all the time with SX which isn't healthy atall!!!!

My main concern and for a lot of people is the noise you get off the input channels I mean The virus sounds so damn hisssssssy off the damn thing its unbelievable and apparently there bringing a fix out for it!

But havnt got time to wait around!

So if anyones gonna go out and get one look in to it before getting one as its a nightmare if you ask me!

GAK who i got it off have accepted that its faulty and Wont be giving me my money back only credit so with The left overs im not even gonna get a mixing desk im gonna get myself a delta 10 10 a another monitor screen and a nord lead 2!! Personally I think i dont even need a mixer as I dont have any outboard fxs but whats everyone's views on this?

you think i should get a mixer or not????

Love to hear peoples views on this man!!

Thanks guys

I used to run two 24 channel mixers - a Soundcraft Delta S200B and a Behringer Eurodesk.

Got rid of them both and now record eveything into PC and mix on SL 2.0

Best thing I have ever done - I know this is a bit of a feisty topic but for me the sound quality has never sounded anywhere near as good as it does now! So clean and Oooooohh - it gets me excited!

Worth a thought! I think you will never regret going software based!

Instead of getting the 10-10, have you looked into the RME Hammerfalls?

303lovesit,

Check out the RME website. They do a whole range of soundcards and if you check out some reviews they are rated higher than the m-audio's. I have a 2496 and am quite pleased with it but I don't do much recording from an external source.

If you are recording from a few sources you may want a soundcard with better AD converters. You can readx about them here www.rme-audio.com/.

Hi. I Just wonted to say that I had a yamaha dsp factory before, still have that sound card laying around somwhere.. But than I purchased M-audio Delta 66 which i still own, but i've moved it to another computer. It's a great card and all, BUt I purchased an RME hamerfall, and I will not go back. The rme card is amazing, I did various test, and to me it sounds cleaner than the delta 66, my virus sounds crispier than ever.. And I tested both cards in th same system using the same components and of course same monitors and same tunes.. I just think that rme has an edge over the maudio cards.. It is little more expensie than the m-audio cards but it's the best thing i did so far...

DON'T BUY A MIXER!!! Buy a AD/DA interface and a RME card. I recently swapped my mixer (Yamaha 02R) for a Kronauer AD/AD Converter and a RME card. I sounds soooo much better and is way more flexible. This is one of the best things i've done, without a doubt. there are lots of good ad/da converters out there. Rme has some, Creamware , Alesis, kronauer ect. But there is a but...your computer must be powerful.

BTW

I use all my hardware synth in together with the soft synths and audio tracks. The hardware synths uses the fx in logic (Vsts) in real time.

Unbelivable control and total recall
