Rated 5 out of 5

What an amazing mixer....does it all, music, video, live!!

Got it not long ago. I does way more than I need, but it is wonderful to have the flexibility to do anything, literally anything, you need. I do film, video, live and studio music. It has been great for all, but It has a learning curve, specially for an old analog studio engineer. But once you get the hang of it, it is actually intuitively layer out and logically set up. Has all the inputs you need, 8 busses, 8 auks, all can be sent to assigned to anything. built in fx are not bad, pre-amps are very good, faders are touch sensitive, screen is bright and clear, which I could bring down the brightness in a live setting, but in the studio it works great. There is really nothing bad I can say about this mixers/control surface/scene recorder (records where things are, faders, pans, pots, encoders, not actual sound).. With more practice I will be far more confident on this device. I recommend any Yamaha digital mixer, they are super high quality and good bang for the buck (albeit the great ones are a lot of bucks!!).

By modeling each resistor and capacitor, the VCM brings the warmth and depth of classic compressors and EQs into the digital realm, enriching your mixes with a timeless sonic quality. The console also boasts the high-end REV-X reverb, renowned for its rich, dense, and clear reverberation.

Further enhancing the console's capabilities, the Studio Manager software delivers an expanded set of tools and functionalities, allowing for comprehensive control and monitoring. The onboard effects engine provides the flexibility to add even more specialized effect plug-ins, tailored to your unique production needs.

With its ability to manage 56 channels at an impressive 24-bit/96kHz resolution, the 02R96VCM ensures pristine audio fidelity, supported by 32-bit internal processing. The console is fully equipped for intricate 5.1 surround mixing, featuring intuitive joystick-style panning and extensive monitoring options that negate the need for additional outboard gear.

The 02R96VCM is designed with user experience in mind, boasting 25 ultra-responsive motorized faders and an "analog-like" mixer interface that minimizes dependency on the LCD display. Its four expansion slots enable the console to accommodate up to a total of 56 inputs, providing unparalleled flexibility for complex setups.
