Subject: 01v or more outboard gear??
Original Message 1/29 08-Feb-01 @ 11:28 AM - 01v or more outboard gear??
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
fink

It has two effects to be shared between all channels.
I don't think you can use it as a patchbay - it doesn't have that many outs.

i also read on this forum that someone sold their compressors once they got the 01v. are they any good??

compressors) the internal patchin for
efx and compression would probly
do away with your need for a
patchbay for the time being, i say get
the 01v
Peaceout

besides, a mastering compressor that colours the sound in a good way is going to be like 2 grand or something.

The routing in the 01V is quite flexible but that's nothing to do with any internal patchbay or anything. I think its misleading to think of it that way.
I'd say go for the 01V and supplement later with outboard compressors, effects and eq as needed. Even if you later decide to get a more obvious compressor that won't render the inbuilt dynamics useless: having gates on all the analogue ins is always going to be useful for a start.

but you can always go through stuff...
as for to buy or not to buy? just..really...with all the features packed into that mixer...it is a HELL of a deal.
the compressors do what theyre meant to do. reduce dynamics. you can totally kill a sound, open it all the way up, make it pump etc ...
and...hehe...horizens is selling his..one with the 8 analog expansion card...
horizens?

Compressor
Gate
Ducker
Expander
Hard Compander
Soft Compander
The companders are incredibly potent, brilliant for sampled breaks. Makes them sound 10 times larger than life, punchy, snappy, you name it. Selecting one of these gives you combined compression, expansion and limiting to do with as you please. The difference between the hard and soft compander is just the expansion ratio - 1.5:1 for the soft, 5:1 for the hard.
Get an 01V, get an 01V...
