I posted this on psw but i know there are different eyes here.


So me and one of my friends were having a debate on which is the better set up

Mixwiz without board gear or Yamaha 01v96


Im pro Yamaha on this but this is his argument and I want to know how many agree to it.


"i  had a previous version of the 01v. I would never use one of those for  live sound. page layering systems suck for live sound environments not  to mention the need for regulated voltage. unlike complete analog  mixers. 1/3 of the features in Yamaha would you actually use. its best  for a studio environment. What are you going to use motorized faders  for? and are you going to access all the dynamics and effects via a  320X240px screen? layered operation for eq, levels, dynamic processing  effects and gain staging between each moduale? have fun with that live.  also you like the idea of of having to do a/d to d/a conversion in a  live setting? and the difference between overloading an input stage of  analog module and a digital module is huge. when you run a a/d convert  too hard you get a wonderful result of crackles and pops. also no one is  going to want to rent the 01v96"


so what are your thoughts on this?
