The best low cost compressor is the RNC or RNLA, made by a company called FMR.
There's a lot of opinions being thrown around in this thread, and I'm virtually certain that some of these folks haven't actually used all of the gear that they are talking about. Like has anyone actually A/B'ed a Behringer and Soundcraft M series mixer side by side? Or even used both?
Then there's the advertising copy type comments like: the DMP3 competes with preamps four times the price. There are some darn good preamps in the $400-700 range, so that's a pretty big statement. It may be true, but then again I think it best to take it with a grain of salt. When you get into the $400-700 area you are including preamps like the Groove Tubes Brick, FMR RNP, and DAV Electronics BG-1, to name just a few examples.
The big improvement when going through a DMP3 directly into your soundcard is that you will be bypassing all the crappy cheap electronics in the Behringer mixer. You'll still be using the cheap electronics of a budget preamp, but there will be less of it in the way. That will be an improvement.
