Re: [Avid-L2] Mixer?

Presonus Central Station. Why bother with a mixer?

Some google searching reveals there is a current model shipping, the 01V96i, for somewhere in the 2,500 to 3,000 range. Kinda pricey for the little guy.

O3D's and 01V's are still quite prevalent on Ebay in the 500 to 1,000 dollar range. Saw an 01v on Craigslist for 450.

Good luck,

In my experience, the Mackie's also break down a lot.

I am a big fan of Yamaha mixers, with digital I/O and if you wanna get crazy, fader control to timeline via MIDI. Kind of a pain to set up an use, but falls under the category of geeky cool.

Back in the day I loved the 03D, now the 01V. The O3D's are long gone except on Ebay, I am not sure if that is also the case on the O1V, but both are great mixers that seem to last forever. Both have motorized faders and multiple save presets that make setting up for an edit bay really easy for non-audio oriented folks.

You can set "scene" presets for monitoring, output, recording voice over, etc, and then it's just a press of a scene button to call up all the routing/fader positions/settings.

I have always liked the quality of Soundcraft. I was never keen on the Mackies - they seemed to lack headroom.

Asking for a friend: what type of audio mixing board are you using for MC setups these days? Pretty sure the Mackie 1402 were popular back in the days. Any reason to pick Mackie's VLZ-series over their FX-series? Any other recommendations?

Thx
