    What exactly is wrong with Behringer brand mixers?

    Thats because people are trying to get that particular make or brand, that has nothing to do with this, people buy Behringer not because it looks like someone else's product and are trying to pass it off as a particular brand, people are buying it because it is a cheaper alternative.

    What exactly is wrong with Behringer brand mixers?

    Really whoops I bought the wrong one because they looked so alike, I really doubt there are that degree of stupid shoppers out there. People don't buy it because it looks like someone elses they buy it because it is cheaper and does a decent job for its intended purposes. I don't think you give...

    What exactly is wrong with Behringer brand mixers?

    My point was they started out with copies and now develop their own equipment. Also there will always be people that just can't afford more expensive, they aren't taking anything away from them if they can't afford them. As far as quality you can have good or bad quality anywhere. Remember when...

    What exactly is wrong with Behringer brand mixers?

    I have been using Behringer for years now, Xenyx 1832 board, BXL3000A Bass Amp, B1 Condensor mic, compressor/limiter, pedals etc. Behringer started out like many companies, making copies of others until they got big enough to make their own stuff of course at the beginning there were some...

    How to handle wildly dynamic mic input from vocals ?

    My two bits is that the singer really needs to learn how to use a mic properly how can they function live if they can't work a mic? Compression helps but isn't a substitute, also it adds its own effects to the sound.

    Who's cheap gear do you trust the most?

    Behringer, I have a board Xenyx 1832, bass amp, condenser mic and compressor. Once again it isn't pro but I have been happy with it. Of course there is always the stuck ups that love to rant about Behringer, guess it makes them feel superior, I just want something that works that I don't have...

    best cheap usb audio interface?

    Funny you say that, I had a Fast Track as well and it was glitchy as hell, random noise spikes says stereo yet only one side goes to record etc etc. I got a Akai EIE Pro no problems, 24bit, clean, 4 in and out and even a USB 2 hub in the back for hard drives etc. most versatile unit I have seen...

    should I be recording optimizing for average quality computer speakers ?

    I think the bottom line is don't worry about it, optimize for the best you monitors you can afford because everyone else is in the same boat as you, the people that are serious about the music they listen to will listen on the best they can afford to use so it all works out. You certainly can't...

    Looking to buy keyboard

    My wife just bought a casio cpd 120 full keyboard and she is really happy with the action and feel. It takes a lot to make her happy, she was a piano teacher for many years and she found this is the best for the price, only around $400.

    laptop vs desktop

    Fan noise isn't an issue if you use an USB etc audio interface, only if you use a soundcard and even then the good ones it really isn't an issue either. Just for an experiment I tried my internal soundcard for a noise floor and it was around -85db and that is a cheap sound source. Unless the...

    Recording @ home

    Number 3, you can get something like a M Audio Fast Track if you don't need phantom power for relatively cheap price, its also small enough to carry around.

    2.8 dual core or 2.2 quad core i7

    Dual vs Quad More cores is newer tech which will usually process faster (because of other improvements) unless the software is a bottleneck. I still think that AMD is the best bang for the buck, quad cores, 8 cores and now 16 cores. I have been using a quad core for the last year with no...

    Good recording software

    Hardware software I think we all agree that usually the software that comes with the computer is not really up to the task of making a half decent recording. PCi cards are good but once again you are putting them in a noisy environment, many years ago I switched to standalone hardware, M Audio...

    How is your luck with equipment?

    It sounds like your computer is self destructing, if it is going through power supplies if definitely has an issue, the problem is why is it doing it. Power surges? To much draw on your circuit? etc etc
