donkeystyle said:i have a behringer that i use for band practice and goofing off on my computer that has its stock soundcard............ but i wouldn't use it to record any bands.
when i record bands i use a mackie, but my friend bought a soundcraft a while back and i got to use it......sooooo much better for the same price ($1,000). my other friend let me borrow some of those cheap dbx tube mic pres a while back........those sound way better than the mackie also.
i'm thinking that i've outgrown the mackie..i'll continue using the behringer for band practice and goofing off, but the stuff i record that is intended to be sold or even given away will definitely not be recorded with the behringer.

Some guy says it, cuz he has a new shinny $400 piece of equipment, and of course, it sounds better. But the same guy probably drives a Dodge Omni. I have a Mercedes, but have never owned a Dodge. So I can't say, "Dodge Sucks".
This guy who first said "Behringer Sucks" could possibly have been recording for years and it was time to move up.
And with all his knowledge, the other members of this board listen to him. Then like parrots, they all start cawing in the morning, trumpeting the words of their mentor. "Behringer Sucks".
Pretty soon it becomes slogan for the parrots, letting the world know they are "In The Know" because their mentor said it.
I've always wondered that question too, freeztar. I also wonder how many of these parrots have ever owned a Behringer.
I've posted a few songs here and there and no one ever said, "Hey, I hear a Behringer in your chain. You need to redo it." They begin to squeel like porked piggies only when it's announced that Behringer has been used. See, I never told anyone what I used, besides Sonar.
I have a;
602-A
Two Channel Compressor,
Five Channel Parametric EQ,
and a
Two Channel Graphic EQ with 2 thirty-one bands.
All Behringer. I am as happy as the most experience pro recording engineer on this website with my Behringer gear.
The people who have heard my recent stuff, say "Great".
They don't fucking know what sounds good and what sucks, freeztar.
I'm like you.
I frequent six home recording websites and this is the worst for slamming Behringer.
It suits the purpose of recording your music at home. 99.9% of the people here are never going to get heard by anyone from a label. I'm recording my stuff, WITH BEHRINGER, cuz I'm gonna give it away. I'm having fun. I'm not looking for a $100,000 studio to make CDs that a few hundred people will hear.
Now if I owned a commercial studio, I'd upgrade. But for what most of us here do with our recordings, Behringers is great.
I can hear the parrots coming down from the trees now, to their soap boxes, freeztar. I can't wait to hear 'em start squeeling.
Very good question.

i just did 2 mixes a few days ago, posted them in the mp3 mixing clinic and got fairly good reviews.. i guess i failed to mention that except vocals and bass guitar, behringer preamps on their new mackie vlzpro ripoff board were used. kik snare oh's rhythm guitar clean guitar etc. a TLAudio tube pre was used on bass and vocals.. EVERYTHING else was the cheap behringer.
check them out www.gertiefox.com/audio.shtml song are "burgundy" and "under the sun"
they are rough mixes we hastily posted because we have a little blurb about us in a magazine and expect hits on our site...
