\nSubject: [01v96] My first experiences
\n
\n
\n> I'm a happy owner since of a 01V96 for about a week now, after
\n> lurking on this group for a while, and I thought I should share my
\n> experiences.
\n>
\n> Generally there are no big surprises, since I read the manual, and I
\n> installed the StudioManager app before I bought the V. It's an
\n> incredibly complete mixer, there seem to be no limits.
\n>
\n> What is not very practical here, is that the phones and monitor out
\n> share the same ADC, I would have liked to be able to get a solo on my
\n> phones, while getting the mix on my monitors, while keeping the
\n> possibility to listen to (the same) solo on my monitors. Could be
\n> solved with a switchbox/attenuator between stereo out, monitor out,
\n> and the inputs of my monitors.
\n>
\n> The biggest surprise was that my unit hums. Not on its outputs, but
\n> physically, probably the power transformer inside. Not very loud, it
\n> would go unnoticed in live usage, but the sound of my computer does
\n> not fully mask it out. I'll try to exchange it with a different unit.
\n> Does somebody else hear this hum?
\n>
\n> Here are just a couple of areas that could get some improvement:
\n>
\n> * StudioManager GUI: seems to be perfectly functional and useful, but
\n> the GUI seems to behave a bit strange. (I'm using win2k).
\n> - There is a small scrollbar in the upper-right corner of the main
\n> screen, which shouldn't be there.
\n> - It's possible to resize the main screen beyond usefullness. Size
\n> should be limited to the maximum used size.
\n> - This MIDI SETUP toolbar, should not be a toolbar, but a menu-item.
\n> And it certainly not stay on top of every other window (even from
\n> other applications).
\n> - The first item in each menu seems to get autoselected when moving
\n> from one menu to the other.
\n> - The "selected channel" wants to stay on top of the main window,
\n> which is a little annoying.
\n> - A dedicated meter bridge window would be usefull to replace a
\n> hardware meter bridge, while not occupying a lot of screenspace.
\n>
\n> * Midi through (DIO/setup -> MIDI/Host)
\n> If I understood correctly this feature allows to route one midi input
\n> to one midi output. So the 'regular' midi out could be used as a PC
\n> midi port through USB. But why only for one port, in one direction? A
\n> second routing entry would be usefull for me to use the V as a 1-in 1-
\n> out PC midi interface too.
\n>
\n> * DeEssing / compressor keyin
\n> The gates have a selectable key input, but the compressors do not.
\n> While a sidechain input is a common feature on analog compressors,
\n> and is often used with an EQ to de-ess voices. Why?
\n>
\n> That's it for now.
\n>

\n> Johannes
