Okay, I confess, I have a shoestring budget thus my choice in equipment. I try my best to get the best bang for the buck: Apex Mics, E-MU 0404 audio card, AKG phones ...
I also use Behringer gear and was rather surprised of the negative feedback they receive: Eurorack 602A (I needed something nice and compact), Composer Pro compressor/limiter & Digital Virtualizer (which I hardly ever use any more).
Like a twit I went and got me a ART Tube MP thinking it would improve the sound of vocals and was left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
Is the Berhinger gear as bad as all that? To my ears the Eurorack mixer seems to be fairly transparent sounding (then again I have nothing to compare it to) if a bit lifeless. It's perfectly clean as long as I leave the EQ flat (the High control adds hiss, the bass control adds rumble) ...
I mean, isn't clean and flat a good thing?
