the Condensor mics are great but the euroracks suck bigtime

I've had some bad experiences with their mixers during live sessions. A mackie replacement solved it 9 times out of 10
 
I'd think twice about that V-Amp too.

I tried it in a music store, and it sounded really, really cheesy. It surprised me, because (aside from mixers) I though Behringer stuff was all right.

The Digitech RP-100 sounded much, much better to me and it was a lot cheaper.

...let your ears decide...
 
Their headphone amp/mixer is just the trick for creating multiple mixes. The amps could be a little more powerfull, but they do get the cans loud enough to hurt. A steal at $129.
 
I just got a 24 channel MX 9000 mixer and I love it. It has a lot of routing options and for my ADAT project studio it works just fine. I admit I may not have as cultured an ear as some of you all, but I have not noticed any problems with it.

You will very soooon, my good friend! Very,very soooon!!!!

Trust me!
 
I got a B. 1604 mixer not too long ago, and I'm quite happy with it. Granted, I can say this because the equipment I'm plugging into it isn't necessarily the greatest either, but shelling out 3x for a Mackie won't fix that problem anyway :)

I'm just starting, and a hobbyist anyway, and you get what you pay for. I don't think anyone's arguing that there are better (much better) mixers than a Behringer, but for someone who's just learning the ropes, it's not a bad place to start either.

I'll get the Mackie later :)

Yeah, but you could have started on something cheaper and
far more reliable than a Beh Mixer! Nady, Samson,Peavy all make
mixers that will serve the same purpose
 
behringer mixer

i own a behringer eurorack 2004 or something like that and i use it for PC recording.... and it sounds great! very very low noise and the mic pres are phenominal. maybe i just got a good one.
 
got me a 2004, price is nice, sound is not horrible, i like the eq, plenty usable..... i swear some people must be living in a subharmonic parralel universe, cuz the thing aint all that noisy


the real reason i bought it.......

Merry Christmas doc colossus!!! May Santa bring you a NEW mixer
immediately!!!!:)
 
merry christmas misterqcue! i asked santa to put a nice little mx1604a under your tree (i wanted him to get you the mx3282a, but he said you've been a bad boy slaging off on those poor behringer mixers) :D
 
Sorry, but my EX 3282a was very noisy, pre's were harsh and the EQ was useless. Got a 12ch Spirit Live4 as a loaner till I can afford a Mackie. Bought a pai of active Tannoy Reveals with the money I got for the Behringer. Much more usefull :D
 
Behringer Headphone Amp

Has anyone tried the Behringer Powerplay Headphone Amp? Amps 4 headphones from the front and an additional 8 from the back if needed. Would look cool in my rack too with the knobs and LEDs. One more reason to turn the lights off and watch the light show. $79 US at musiciansfriend.com

i have not tried it out but i agree it does look very cool and im most likely going to buy one!...

I had a line6 pod for about 3 months and was not happy at all with it. It sounded nothing like the amps I knew and loved and sounded more like the hot rod customized version favored by the big rock stars. I tried fiddling and futzing with the settings but couldn't get anything that sounded closer to the low fi/real amp sounds I had in my head. I sold it, and got a V-amp... it's Marshall models are as close to real as I've ever heard... it's quiet, it's got a lot of leeway on how many things I can adjust and it cost less than half what I paid for the pod.

This is my first experience with a Behringer product and I am extremely happy with my bang for the buck. It does more than I had hoped, sounds better than the pod(to my ears) and even came with a nice carrying case and footpedals. Plus, I can use all the sound set ups for the pod with it... so I've hot a huge catalog of pre-existing sounds for my cover band, and a nice tonal palette for my own recordings.
 
Wow. I guess I must have missed something. I had tried it out in the music store, and thought it sounded awful. From what I demo'ed, the only one that sounded worse was that little $99. Korg red multi-effects cheesy stompbox. It could have been the amp I was listening through. What type of amp are you using that makes it sound good?

(p.s., I'm not trying to bash your gear, I'm genuinely curious).
 
i had a dream last night that my 2004 stop working properly, the faders were working backward, and there was no eq on a few of the channels (i don't normally dream about this kind of thing)... i woke up and thought "premenission"? perhaps, then i remembered this damn thread......

homerecording.com is giving me nightmares!!!!!
 
i dont play the v-amp through an amplifier... that sort of defeats the purpose, and you will get that amplifier's personality bleeding through the pre-sets. I use it for direct recording. For live use, I dont need those subtleties, so I use my Blue Voodoo amp.

What I noticed was that the v-amp sounds more like real versions of the amps it models, whereas the pod is modeled more like the idealized, highly processed versions that people hear on big name recordings. I was looking for something that actually sounded like the old marshall I sold years ago and could also sound close to an old fender, and the v-amp sounds pretty close to my ears.

If you want a sound that is automatically revved up and sounds just like someone else, then get a pod. If you want a sound that's like a real amp and can be tailored to your own sound, the v-amp is a much better tool.

It all comes down to what your ears want to hear.
 
Point taken. I had heard it through a Roland Jazz Chorus at the music store (which doesn't color the sound much at all), but I'll give it another listen. I use an RP-100 for the stage, but (obviously) the truer-to-life, the better.
