32 internal bit float.....24bit on the output. O.k. i bought this Mixer-Remote-Soundcard not only for the sound, but for my little productionstudio it's one of a kind. Really clear sound. And the Preamps are also clear. Sure you can get better gear and better sound, but not for this price.

Oooohhhhh......., Here the 01x is unbeatable (not for this price)!!!!!! You get a remote control for your DAW, and not only the DAW. I mean you can control ALL of your VST-Instruments, you forget using a mouse. Mouse? No mouse.You get a Mixer with flying faders, yes you can be a audio engineer!!!!With lots of Comps-Presets on every channel(24out) and two FX banks. 8 Really good analog in's and 16 mlan for your VST-Instruments. You can record your 8 Analog in's at the same time in eperate tracks. Firewire done lots of goods in this world. And a soundcard. I won't write anymore. Buy it. Oh...and something else, next time please put some balanced outputs and a seperate poti for monitor/phones.

O.k. here you have to read the manual. READ THE MANUAL. It has a unique way of working. Together with "Studiomanager" (it's a programm for the 01x) that combines my DAW (CUBASE 4) with the 01x. And when you done reading, read it again. And if you have questions, just log into the 01x-ray forum. They know. It took me two months to understand the 01x and the progs completly, but i' am stupid. i think others learned it much much quicklier and easier. so good luck.

o.k. there are no Alps, but after all you get a solid machine. I bought mine second hand and it works like new.

There is nothing else on the market with this price. REALLY and with this features. NOTHING. Look around. Not for this price.

01x-ray, they know everything!!!!!!!!!

It fits in my little studio, looks good and everything is in the right place.

First rate and transparent signal path.

Would be a bargain even without the included VST/AU plug-ins.

Perfect Yamaha build quality.

Best value hi-tech product on the market.

There is a free DVD - just call Yamaha - that shows the 01X in action.

Very good.

All very good. Balanced outs would be nice and separate volume controls for headphones and stereo outs.

Very good.

Absolutely top product for the money and a set of features.

Very good.

Got it already.

Absolute killer except mic preamps are a little bit noisy (despite being very "musical"). But this is the only compliant.

Infinitive possibilities. But needs learning.

No troubles at all - including live recordings, some dust and bad maintence. Worth mentioning, that motorised faders never failed (wchis is happening very often in other devices).

Everything's fine with the product. But build as a part of "mlan" philosophy needs better support and more peripherials avilable. If you consider to buy it remember, that it is a bargain but chances are Yamaha will discontinue all mlan devices and their support.

"www.01xray.com" ---- arrogant moderators which can't help you but may be insulting. Onaother bad news in unexpected i88 unavilability which makes 01x - based system not upgradable.

Very aesthetic and very sexy indeed.

build OK, it would help if it would actually work.

It beats a rock, anyway.

Yamaha hasn't been helpful at all. Wait for the next set of drivers, which are always 3 weeks late and a function short. They have been working on mLAN since the '90s and still can't make it work reliably.

All appeal and no action.

sound track

Sound quality is great, 10 would mean perfection which never is the case ;). Pre-amps sound clean and plenty of headroom.

Very good DSP power and usefull VST Software is bundeld.

The quality of this product is alright. Some buttons are noticable cheap material, to keep the cost down.

Great value for you money. For example a seperate controller from Mackie is almost the price of a complete 01x.

Great forum's and e-mail support, never contacted Yamaha by phone.

I previously was using M-Audio Delta 1010 units combined with a Mackie mixer (with direct outs) to give me mic pre-amps. The Yamaha 01x definately has cleaner mic preamps than my Mackie mixer giving me more headroom and a better signal to start with.

This unit packs a lot of features for the price but unlike most feature full products I've seen in the same price range, Yamaha did not take short cuts in the quality of the product in order to sell it just on features. I only gave a 9 out of 10 as I really need more phantom power mic inputs (lots of condensor mics) and this unit only has two. I would of gladly paid more for more of these connections. The i88x only has two XLR ports as well so it gets expensive buying a bunch of these to only use the 2 XLR ports on each one (though being fair these are very clean mic pre-amps and I've seen other 2 channel mic pre-amps costing just as much and the mLAN makes it simple to connect them all). My favorite feature however has to be the mLAN capabilities. This is simply brilliant. I was tired of windows updates breaking my other hardware drivers and then waiting for each manufacturer to fix their drivers for my system to work again. I am a software developer and know how much time and money is put into maintaining drivers long after a product has been sold meaning a product's retail price has to include 'projected' future maintenance time into it. mLAN can solve this problem and do to the recording studio what midi did to electronic musical instruments. To explain further, if I develop a GM midi product/device I only need to worry about making my product communicate with the midi ports following the GM midi standard. I do not need to worry about what midi device is connected at the other end (including a Windows or Mac computer) as they simply also communicate with their midi port and not my specific device. If the GM midi standard remains the same I never have to worry about fixing my product's drivers. So if MS comes out with a new version of windows the maker of my sound card has to make sure the midi ports still work). This would save the developer of the midi product a fortune to know future midi driver updates are not their responsibility (as long as the standards stay the same). mLAN is following the same concept as midi and Mac is already building mLAN drivers directly into their OS now meaning Mac themselves are going to guarantee that your mac will work with mLAN. As for Microsoft if the driver breaks there are already over 40 licensed mLAN manufacturers whose entire mLAN product line will not work with winXP until the drivers are fixed so instead of each manufacturer being responsible for drivers for each of their products, they all are focused on just one shared driver. All this said mLAN is still a very new technology in the real world (it's been on paper for a while) so there are going to be all the bugs that come with that. For me I had no compatiblity issues and it installed and was working perfectly within 10 minutes. A cool new development is there are developments (some people have already reported success) in having two or more 01x units installed on one computer giving them 28 channels of audio per 01x unit. This means if 28 channels sounds too limiting for what you might need down the road you can likely add a second or third 01x.

Excellent sound, durability and layout. I can easily navigate my way around on this mixer. I also have a few deviced connected on the mLAN network now and easily 20 feet of firewire cable in total connecting everything and I still have just a 5 millisecond latency time. To give a comparison, on the same computer I had 13 times longer latency times when I just used one M-Audio Delta 1010 with a 5 ft patch cable and only that one device.

You simply cannot get this many features at this quality for this price. For example, to buy a mackie controllers which is just one feature of this product cost almost as much as this product does. Wow. I think this is mostly because the mLAN technology supporting the 01x seriously reduces the amount of future driver development they will need to invest to keep this running in the future and any mLAN driver development needed is shared by all mLAN licensed manufacturers and all of their mLAN products.

I haven't had any problems with the unit but when I was buying I wanted one before any stores knew what I was talking about. So stores sales support was weak. I did however get a call from Yamaha head office sales department who answered all my questions (and more).

It has some cool features like automated faders but this is pretty much standard with any digital mixer so one wouldn't buy it for that feature alone. I needed to have my recording studio portable and for the almost 11 months I've owned my 01x while with a client I have not had a single problem, conflict or downtime due to the 01x or any mLAN device connected. (My Cubase SX3 upgrade has been buggy though) I owned a M-Audio Delta 1010 for 3 months and had 2 major failures due to driver conflicts during recording sessions with clients. The second failure of the Delta 1010 driver had me looking for a more stable solution but more flexible (and affordable) than all-in-one recording devices.
