Re: NAMM - report
Interesting indeed! I'm obviously not really their intended customer, but I wonder why they had to make a 32 channel version? It seems out of reach for most bar bands (too big and even too expensive) but not up to snuff as a brand for most project studio's and smaller SR companies.
I hope it pushes Yamaha to come out with a new console, but I really doubt it. Their product line is still in demand. It might take some sales from the 01v96, but no regional provider thinking about the LS9 (or Si Compact, etc) will buy this instead.
I have two 01v96's that I use regularly and usually when they are inadequate it's because the event 'needs' a better console, not that it needs more FX engines or auxes.
They are presenting it as a game changer, but to use Mackie VLZ as an example, wasn't the 16 channel mixer more of a game changer than the 32 channel version?
Maybe I'm missing something though...
