I have used both extensively. I'm still using 1604s at my day job. I'll never go near a promix again.
- The 01 converters sound like pure ass. The internal mixing sucks the life out of your dynamic range to boot. - The first 8 inputs are XLR only. - The spdif out is 48khz/16bit only - Interfacing it with a DAW was hardly worth the bother - there were so many workarounds that it was never much use as a fader UI. - The digital effects are very mundane to the extreme - chorus, cheap reverb. there's only two. - Limited number of send (3, including the internal buses) - It weighs at ton, and has a massive foot print. - Before I knew better I had to replace two of the preamps, one of the D/A converters, and something in the cpu. These were all on >separate< occasions. Get a 1604. It won't sound amazing, but it will sound amazing compared to a mackie. If you can't afford to spend more, it's as good as it gets. You might want to think about getting an external preamp for vocals and other 'up front' and mic'ed stuff. bIz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon O' Connor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 3:15 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Is It Worth It? > lol @ milo! what is better? a mackie 1604 mixing desk or a Yamaha Pro Mix 01 > digital mixng desk? > > > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Reply-To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" > ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Is It Worth It? > >Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 12:11:17 +0100 > > > >no, that's a terrible deal.
