Anyway, so seeing as I`ll be managing to avoid all work for the next couple of years or so I decided to sell the 01v and drag the Mackie (or wackie as someone once told me) out of the cupboard and get the bugger fixed. I never had a manual for it and being the dopy bugger that I am, it was only when I was boxing it up to send to the tech that I noticed these direct out thingies on the back there - 8 of em. So I see channels 9-16 on the wackie have "track 1" through to "track 8" written below the faders so I`m guessing these route through straight to the direct out wotsits.
Right, so I guess I could just wait till it comes back and try for myself but I`m kinda curious about the uses for these things - I`m not totally stupid, I realise they`re for running stuff straight off to a multitrack recorder or whatever which`d be useful should I ever sort myself out a computer that works and stuff with a multi in soundcard but is there any other uses? And more to the point, is there any way to route whicher channels I wish through to the direct outs or are they hardwired? Could I route efx sends through to these as well?

Guess I could keep it, I like the way you can crank those optical comps right up without blunting the sound like what happens with vca jobbies and it kinda coats the sound in candy in a smooth way so I dunno. If I sold it, I`d only get 2 dole cheques worth for it anyway so mebbe I should hang onto it, just a shame its one mono source or one stereo only really else it`d be all I need.

Well I bought the behringer anyway, still dont have my desk back to check it properly but I`ve run some sh.it straight through it and its pretty nice, not particularly characterful but it does add I nice little edge to the sound so I`m happy.
