Sorry, couldn't resist that one, Mr. Q.
I have about $ 1 Billion dollars to spend on studio. Should I go all Behringer? ? ?

Is a billion enough to buy Behringer itself?

Depends on what type of sound you are going for.
If you are trying to get that somebody scratched the CD and it skips now sound, then yeah Behringer all the way.

Guys, I seriously wonder what will come out of a 100% Behringer studio. Mics, pres, Fx, Dyn., monitors, etc. with an excellent sound tech.
It might be supprising! It might be...like we almost all think it would.
But I really wonder...

Why don't you ask around? Shouldn't be too hard to find one of those around here. Or you could try the Harmony Central board.
You migh have a tougher time finding one on Gearslutz, so don't even bother looking there.

Yo' chess, that's a d@mn good question!!! 
Chess, I don't mean to belittle ANY-1 who employs Behringer gear in thier present set-up nor do I have this INTENSE HATRED for Behringer altogether. When I 1st started buying Beh gear(and
brutha' believe me when I say I owned many of thier products), I was so impressed by the looks and thier ridiculously low prices!!!
Like many here, I was on an extreme budget and figured that this would be a great way to start recording my own crappy-@ss jammies rather than book time @ a comm'l studio. I was so naive and new-bile back than, that I even bought a 3630 to add to my impressive array of handsome,black and silver Beh gear. I sung hi-praises for Beh's unit's and vigorously defended my choice of gear
even pissing off Downside Studio who berated Beh and moved up to higher quality units. I didn't care! I got all this gear (3 comps, DSP, Hi-Lo filter/Gate,mixer,Sub-bass processor, stereo enhancer,patchbay, preamp) for under $500!!!! YEAH baby, who's 'da man!!!!
Then I got ragged @ PRO-REC(where I 1st met pglewis) where resident-guru, Bill Parks, broke it down in layman terms, the limitations one places on himself using Behringer gear. Got dissed @ r.a.p. by the senior members who told me that $500 I spent should have been saved to purchase better perf'ming gear and QUALITY ALWAYS BEATS QUANTITY. Laughed at by some associates who were affiliated/employed at var. local studios in the city when I informed them of my gear list .Here, with Cuzzin' Brucie Blue Bear,John Sayers, sonusman and a few others who used thier knowledge, sound-clips and stat comparisons to bolster their opinions on Beh(though sonusman swears by the Composer). Besides the fact that my new Beh mixer blew-out (ain;t re-hashin' that up again), the last straw was when my younger bro who's into to "Intelligent Rap" (not that thug shit), took 1 look at my gear and cancelled his decision of having me record his demo!
If I had some-1 to pull my collar and tell me 'tis better to save that $80 you spent on,say, the Beh efx processor and purchase
a higher quality unit with valid points backing that argument, I know I would have listened. Beh's products have absolutely no re-sale value as I gave my cousin my Edison and Ultrabass, sold my MultiCom to a friend for $35, and traded my DSP PRO1000 with a female co-worker on my job who's a DJ, for a personal mini-disc walkman/recorder(I got the better of the deal!!!
)
I'm no expert nor do I consider myself an engineering genius.
My gear is basically midlevel with 2 or 3 outboards joints that are
"upper midlevel", with the only Beh gear I have now is the Composer & AutoCom, the ECM8000(recommended by H Gerst) and the UltraPatch.
If you are serious about recording yet budget is limited,look and compare other products in Beh's price range and if you unfortunatly purchase a Beh product, check the retailers return policy as you might get screwed.
Please, don;t make the same mistakes I made!!!
Learn from the many "qualified" masters here!
Thx to chessrock, his advice on the DMP3 made my decision to purchase the unit a valuable tip!
Peace

I'm not going to say anything about that one.
Oh well . . . I'd best be going. I have a live recording to do of a fellow who's rather bitter sweet over the holy wars in the middle east. He's on working vacation, and will be doing some rap music using some behringer gear. He's a pretty ugly dude, by the way.
We'll be going to the local restaurant to get ourselves some of the jumbo-shrimp.

If you had a billion dollars I would think that you would be too busy spending money to even think about berhinger, or building a studio.

If I had a Billion dollars I would buy AbbeyRoad Studios. Hell, I would buy the damn crosswalk too.
I think if I had a Billion dollars I could hook that up. But hey......when I do I will give everyone here free studio time. (granted I don't spend the whole billion on the studio)

I bet you could buy so many Behr preamps and mixers that you could line them to the moon a couple of times. Maybe even record the WHOLE would singing at once. I wonder what the Protest people would complain about after the whole world was singing in harmony?
Oh thats right...the fact that we recorded a once in a lifetime chance on some shitty ass newbie crap that didn't even record when we hit the damn button.
Well we fuck that up didn't we
