Re: Used Mixer?
by John Livings on Sep 10, 2009 at 6:49:25 am

Hi Sam,

I actually bought the Studio Live last month and returned it last week.

I am going to chalk the Issues I had with it up to Pilot Error. (It was my first Digital Board)

A Friend came over to help me get it up and running. (He has an 02R 96)

I have used his board (By Myself) for 6 shows, No Issues Period. I ran Mains, Monitors and recorded 16 tracks to my Laptop. (Logic Pro 9)

In the Studio Using the Studio Live I recorded using basically the same setup I use on Jobs, Except I used a Mac Pro Duel Quad Core And The Laptop to record to.

The First Issue was, for no apparent reason the sound (Mains and Monitors + Recording) would STOP!!
The Mixer was Frozen. To get any sound required shutting down the computer and Mixer then restarting Both. ( took About 2 1/2 minutes)

This Happened regardless of which software I used. (Capture or Logic Pro 9) using the Studio Live

Second Issue, During Recording the Playhead continues to move, However NOTHING is being Recorded.
This Has Happened with both computers and using both Capture and Logic Pro 9. Again NO reason. Please note; This can happen anytime or not at all.

When this happens you really don't want to try to fix it as you will loose your LIVE SOUND.

I really liked the mixer for live sound, But use the FW cable and watch out.

Many people have good results with the Mixer, Not Me.

Customer Service at Presonus is 5-Star all the way, However the board was not stable for me.

I need something that is close to "Plug and Play"

The board looks like a Masterpiece, And they pack it like a Mac.

Also the reason I am looking for a used board is the 01V needs interface cards to connect to your computer. and no Meter Bridge and the old ones can be had for $500.00 (48KHz)

ebay just sold a DM 1000 with Meter Bridge and 4 cards for $3400.00, fits a 19" rack , in very good condition that would be a deal. The 01V does not have a meter bridge option.

Capture is not a DAW, It will just capture the tracks in a WAV format that you can drag and drop into your DAW. Presonus is coming out with a Daw called "Studio One"

anyway sorry for the long post,

John
