In reading, I can read a thirty tracks and mix of 24 tracks thanks to the physical outputs of the i88x. To use the vsti I can not fall below 6-7 ms. The monitoring is done directly from the 01X. Naturally, given my config, I put a fairly high latency (19 ms). I configured GBP to 16 but not yet tried to use them all. With the 01X, I can record 13 tracks simultaneously. I use it mainly for recording group of3 to 4 musicians including a drummer who holds the 8 entries i88x. So when everything is set up we have much to worry about. I put in master 01x, i88x in Slavic and PC.
It is advisable to download the latest driver (for my part I think it's the v 1.5.3).
The drivers are supplied with leave to oblivion. Finally, I realized that was my cart FW was the origin of pb (perx via chipset, the mLAN driver recognizes as Siemens!) Through a friend who gave me all his bath ( as said above I do not know the brand but its NEC chip ets and mLAN driver recognizes it as such) I had come to end after a month and a half nightmare. The installation (01x and i88x) was cacastrophique. Then there is the darkest part of the picture. NB: Juqu'à Now I've never used as an interface only but normally it should work I have a PIV 1.8 GHz - ABIT BL 7 CM - 512 MB SDRAM - Map FW I do not know masi NEC chipset (who said that NEC did not mince with mLAN?) But for the price yamaha could have done a bit of effort because the practical point of view it is not cool. Downside: there is a knob for channels 5 / 6 and 7 / 8. I tried with a passive bass guitar, bass drum or condenser microphone (voice or overhead), it's done! However, I prefer to use an external preamp (goldmike) for voice. At the entrance one is a choice of Mic, Line and Instrument.
The two famous preamp are really famous (yet unlike the 01x). The distance between the attachment points are not standard in my opinion (all the other stuff yet come good in my rack)
One downside: I can not screw it on both sides of the rack! I'm changing place but impossible. Besides, I have never seen as big an audio interface, it is almost on 1U 30 cm deep. The knobs are sturdy and comfortable to hit (as opposed to 01x). At least until my purchase in February 2005. I bought it in addition to the 01X as wanting to have more entries, after much research, it is a priori the only audio interface / midi mLAN compatible to 100%.
