True, indeed, but do I think he meant it the other way round too... people weren't able to play back a surround mix properly back then ;)

As for the Yammie mixer: that's the one I want too. Well, actually the 01V96V2... :) Seems to be neat stuff :D

the Yammi 02R....This thing weighs a tonne!!!!Well not quite...31kgs...but its enough to give you a hernia...

so up for sale will be my Aging Behringer MX3282A...

Wanted an 02R for a few years now,but prices have dropped considerably so jumped at the chance to replace my old analog...means now I can keep my music totally within the digital domain...
Good old 02R...
I remember it was our Studio A mixing desk at school back in year 2000...
A lot of good records have been done on it.
Goldfrapp still use it and I like their records very much.
02R limit is just its real bit depth of 20 bits only (more than the 48Khz limit) but I think you will have a big improvement over the behringer mixer...

Hopefully my dream of getting a Nordlead will be reality soon, it depends on how fast the local musicstore can get it.

In some respects i think its a bit of both,Surround sound systems were availible,and so was the Mixing machine capabilities,its just that as technology advances it become cheaper and more affordable to the general Public,It was more a "Right Time" with aero,i think due to more and more people having a surround system,but I also recall Jarre saying that there weren't any Engineers that were that experienced in surround duties except for those who do Movie Music Production,which is a different angle to it...Still i think Jarre would have had more success with MetaMorphoses if he had of done that as his first 5.1 Album


I looked at the 01V too,but they dont have enough Inputs for my needs even with the Expansion options,i wanted a digital desk that still had the same amount of outs/In and flexibility as my analog Behringer..
If i had a smaller setup then i would have definetly gone for the 01v series,Even the older 01 are a good buy,I've always liked the yamaha Digital Mixers there so easy to use and get good audio results from,very user friendly

good thing about the Yamaha digital mixers is that you can interlink as many Mixers as you want and still control everything from the main console.so if needs be you can build a bigger Production suite by adding additional Mixers of the same Genre,which is better than having to buy another larger console

Plus for the price of the 02R now your getting a real top notch digital Desk that still sets the standards even almost 10 years after it was released,this desk cost £7000 on release????i got it for less than 10% of that with 2 expansion boards.... :wink:

Yes i also think that 20 bit is a bit mean given that many other top desks utilised 24bit back when it was made in 97,and now its pretty much a standard rate on most digital desks now...

48Khz is fine for me as i record most of my Multitrack work in 48khz,although its not essential given that when its burnt to cd it dithered back to 44.1 anyway....but still it means i dont have to worry about incompatible or mismatched sample rates when clocked with the Multitrack

I think you can upgrade the 02R to 96Khz,from what the seller was telling me,although i'm not bothered anyway,I've never utilised that sample rate anyway...


As for the sound Quality of the 02R i can hear the audio differences already between the 02R and my old behringer the Yammi is more clean and true,the EQ is superb,the effects seem pretty high quality too,although i think for a desk of this stature only having 2 FX busses is a little mean,but I'll work round that by patching the Auxillaries to the D16XD and use some of the FX busses on that to route back into the Yammi...

My local Music store have had one for a long time, maybe as long as I can remember and now when I am looking for one, it is not in stock but they expect to have some nords in stock again within the few days.

Btw. I tried out the Radias a few days ago, only for a few minutes. Pretty nice, a synth that could be on my wishlist if just the price was a little lower.

So welcome "the Raven" into my synth Family :wink: Gonna strip it and clean it up and bring it back to showroom condition over the weekend...

There really is something special about the Raven. I absolutely love the looks of it but sadly I haven't heard much sound from the thing.
Right now I've been thinking of buying a Quasimidi Polymorph...but I've also seen a Raven for sale. What would be a good price for it?

Wasn't The Raven a rompler? not that it makes it it less good.

Well I paid £150 for this Raven...which in my eyes is an absolute steal...given its been expanded..

It has a very unique Sound,quite sonically beautiful,the Raven for me has a lot of appeal soundwise,given its unknown qualities,I had heard virtually nothing soundwise from it before today,apart from the Oxygene 7 choir,i was very open minded given that i had read many reviews praising it,i gave it the once over,not expecting it to be anything but sound dated,I was quite surprised how fresh and inspiring the sounds were,although it may be aimed at Dance genres it sounds do not sound like every other Trance orientated soundbanks,these are wonderful sounds,that i know i will be able to utilise into my tracks...Its built like a damn tank as well,it oozes appeal i think,in a culture where every other synth seems to look and feel cheap,If you get the chance to buy one,go for it,you won't be dissapointed.


I've heard bad reports on its Midi Implementation,but I'll give it the once over during the next couple of days and see how it fares..Theres not many synths i find hard to tackle,so Hopefully the Raven will be no exception.I'm very impressed on the ontset of it so far
