«  When the firewire goes, everything goes. »

Published on 06/11/10 at 05:07
I use it for 3 years now and then I tried it in a 01V and 01V96.
This is one of MY cards of most interest to the Yamaha digital consoles.
The positive thing is that you turn your console FireWire sound card, and that's HUGE!
Tried first on a 01V96, I found an audio dropout problem. I mean by "dropping" that every 5 or 10 minutes, the card has no output to the DAW for about 0.5 sec. I tried several solutions (update drivers, update DAW upgrade the console, ...) nothing worked, the problem persists. Maybe it is my 01V96 that a problem, I do not know. but it's really annoying.
Then tested on a 01V "original", you're set, no bug (but only 8 audio channels instead of 16, related to the technology of the 01V)
Apart from that, you end up with a mixing console, a laptop connected via FireWire, and we have a complete digital studio is fantastic.
value for money is very good, since once the card plugged in, it has a sound card 8OUT 16in (on the 01V96) and continuing in more opportunities for mixing console. What you ask for?
The people demand a driver Yamaha thoughtful, reliable, practical and stylish? Well the people waiting, I started to felt to be back with my driver Hoontech 1998. Nothing is clear, no aid, Yamaha does not care, we must be dreaming ...
Once configured, it works, but until then it pulls the hair is so lousy!
With experience, I would do without hesitation that choice (subject to correcting the bug with the 01V96).
For mobile use, is impeccable, you can mix both a concert and recording cheaply.

+ 01V to turn a sound card
+ Super convenient mobile use (and in the studio, unfortunately)
+ Choice of FireWire
+ Simple routing in the console
+ Latency? What latency?

- Driver inherited from another time
- Audio dropout problem (but maybe me)
- Routing software appalling
