I can only speak form 10 years of experience and dealing with more than 1000 bands and riders. First things listed, no Behringer. I can also speak from experience having worked with some escellent producers/engineers such as Ulrych Wylde, Don Was, Narada Michael Walden, Wayne Kramer etc... Once again, no love for Behringer.
As far as Blues Traveler goes, I have worked with them on several occasions. NO BEHRINGER WHATSOEVER in their racks. Unless of course he used them on the Leslie for John Poppers harmonica's which by the way do not get put in either the mains or the monitors, but don't tell John that
The Blues Traveler guys love alot of the cool vintage stuff. Last time I worked with them they were hauling around an awesome old Gamble console, AMS reverbs, and DBX 900 racks. But no behringer.
You also need to learn about endorsements and stop confusing that with reviews. There are many endorsee's that really do not care for the products and only use them if they have to. I have even seen engineers mult to units so they light up, but don't actually return to the mix just so they don't get in trouble. As far as Tony Visconti goes, if he can not tell the difference between a Behringer comp and
a Chandler TG1, he is high. I still can not believe that because a small handful of people have been on record with certain comments you would think that EVERY one else is wrong. Maybe you should quit just reading Behringer adds and cheap magazines and start experiencing the real world a little. It is also important to consider that magazines typically do not print reviews where a reviewer shreds equipment to peices from a high dollar advertiser. It seems to me like you still have a lot to learn about the real world. As far as I am concerned, keep using your Behringer gear and swearing by it. I am glad. It will keep one more real competitor out of the industry.
Not only that, but you really should do a little research and find out what exactly the Behringer stuff was used on. Headphone mix compressors don't really count though so there goes half of the credits
