Re: DebateFirst of all, I think a lot of beginners become confused by people omitting the "96" in 01v96. The 01v and 01v96 have many of the same features but are very different to move around on. The 01v96 is, of course, the easiest by far of the two. If the OP's friend has tried one digital desk and that's the 01v he's going to think all digitals are that cumbersome.Regarding Studio Manager: It's a lot easier on the eyes than the desk screen. In tems of functionality, some things, like naming channels or saves, setting up patches or quickly assigning many channels to many different groups is easier to do on the computer. In terms of visibility things like watching master meters on the PC while the inputs are up on the meters on the desk is practical. PC is great for quickly seeing what mics are in what monitor, quickly seeing which channels have dynamics inserted, quickly checking if you left the HPF disengaged on one of the lavs. I can get around the 01v96 just fine but Studio Manager makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.
