Which later models? When you say "Yamaha digital board for garage band work"
you're covering an amazing range of boards.

BTW, if your budget runs up into the $1K - 2K range, Yamaha is running a
promotion on 01V96 boards.

Any I should avoid?

I've got a 20-year-old 12 channel board thats still perfectly functional
with zero maintenance. I still use it for special smaller events. It looks
like it's going to outlive the Mackie 32-in board that replaced it.

I'm sure the 01V96 would work fine, but for a garage band, I think the
original 01V would work just as well.

The 01v will **** you off with the dynamics allocation. And it was one
of the last boards with that "Yamaha" sound (read - "****ty") reverb.
Pay a little more for a 01v96.

Really.

The 01v is only 48k digital out. No 44.1.

I have three as synth mixers and they mix fine if you don't want to
use any of the above features.

My 01V S/PDIF output does 44.1 just fine. Won't do 88.2 or 96, but
it's happy as a clam @ 44.1.

The original ProMix 01 was 48 kHz only, but there was a modification
(third party, I believe) to switch it to 44.1 kHz.

My bad, I forgot which model # mixers I have. The label is under the
monitor platform.

Original 01 = rotten dsp / 48k.

The BloMix 01 was a truly annoying and bad sounding piece of gear. I
had to do PA through one once and it was really a circus.
Unfortunately, the dude sent along with the BloMix knew as much (read as
little) as I did about it, so we were reading the manual an awful lot
that afternoon. Not very productive or professional...

One thing in its favor was that it was really very quiet. Can't say
much else good about it...
