[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 43148, member: 162"] Re: I think I'm digital desk cursed... If you need more than the first page of inputs, a second 01v96 is a great way to minimize layer flipping, and the pair of them aren't too big physically. I've run this way for 8 years and other than having to replace one blown pre-amp (I live in the frozen land of static electricity that apparently zapped one of the pre amps in one of my boards), they have been perfectly reliable. I know people get bent out of shape about the "difficulty of using all those buried menus", but my experience has been that once you get your board patched correctly the first time, day to day operation is not really any harder than anything else. Everything is pretty much one button away - dynamics, EQ, etc. Depending on your perspective and timelines, this is either a really terrible or great time to buy 01v96s. It's hard for me to be excited about moving to an 8-year old product when there are some really cool choices coming out such as the A&H GLD series, but the upside for you is that 01v96 prices will be falling on the used market as people like me move out of them. Since Yamaha just announced the rev 3 01v96 with USB audio interface, it's clear they will be supporting them for a while. [/QUOTE]
