Yamaha 01x, Is it too good to be true? Options

[Nels]

Hello anyone,

From what I've read and from the short movie clips I've seen on the Yamaha O1X Integrated Digital Recorder, it all sounds too good to be true.

Does anyone have any negative light to shed on this product. ......For example: Is it surround sound capable?

Am I missing something ....or could the Yamaha O1X really be as great as it sounds? ...And could the mLAN technoligy be the wave of the future?

And will it be available sooner than Nov.? .......I haven't seen it for sale anywhere.

Thanks for any input. ........I'm still going crazy in trying to determine wish DAW route to go with

Well, Mr. bonatoc, sir,

Thank you so much for your clear and concise discription of the Yamaha O1X or as you say, "The Beast". Sounds like the pros outweigh the cons by far. I almost wish I didn't have much time to think about whether or not to get one, but since the OS X drivers are not yet available, I guess I have no choice.

In one of the previous posts, Mr. lepetitmartien wrote that the O1X was already on sale, so where did you get yours? Also, there's a custom stand for the O1X. I saw the stand in one of the clips I watched and was wondering if it too was available ...or is the stand included?

I want to sincerely thank all that responded to this post ...and others as well.

I've been researching all this stuff for the last six months and if not for all the great responses I've been getting, I'd of probably gone mad by now, so.....................

Thank you!
