could e.g. the 01v be used as a combination powered plug-in/control surface? i.e. could individual mixer channels in reason be routed through the efx inside the 01v, like routing multiple channels to an aux send on the mackie 1202 (only mixer I've really used). or would I need a more sophisticated rewire host to do this?
about the motorized faders, do you just assign a fader to a particular mixer channel in reason (or logic) and it responds accordingly?
basically, I'm wondering of the 01v would let me mix tracks in reason (and logic if YOU pulaski ever get it togther) with real faders and a nice reverb. I have a slow 400 Mhz Mac that doesn't run reverb plugins too well so I'm curious about outboard. I use a 2408 MkII so I know I have digital i/o capability though I dunno much about them. TIA

I've kind of found it to be more hassle than it's worth, in terms of using the mixer for processing, because you only have the 8 digital channels. I've thought about getting an analog I/O card to go along with my ADAT card, but have not done so. If you could get at least 16 channels into the mixer digitally I'd say it'd be perfect for what you're asking, but 8 channels digital is a little limiting.
I use it mostly as a "live" mixer when I'm working on things in the studio, then when I've got things sounding right I just strip off the channels I want and dump them into the PC. I sometimes use it for effects if I'm running out of juice (the distortion is great on vocals).
Let me know if there's any other ?'s I can answer for you.

I was thinking about the uad-1, but figured if I could get a motorized control surface with it, that would be better. if the reverb on the 01v is like the RS7k, forget it. I guess I'll end up with a cheap midi fader box and a UAD-1/and or a fast PC. I'm so comfortable using pre-prepared sounds in reason but that reverb is just killing me.

you asked if mixdown would include channels sent to the O1v.
If you mean by using the mixdown function in cubase, then no.
what you would have to do is either send all the channels from cubase to the 01v and mix OUT of it (say through SPDIF or whatever) or just submix your 8adat sends back into cubase..
to be honest, for what you want to do...Id get a controller. Far more assignable. The o1v is gonna be limited in what it will do.
I havent touched one but theres the new Evolution controller for a fair price
oh, and UAD-1 rocks

it just ends up being a big external box.
