The Renegade Milk Chronicles Vol. 1

. . . so I open my fridge and find that bastard Chessrock's spoiled milk next to mine (uh, mine is not spoiled).

I understand he's using it to make a point about something or other, but I don't see why he has to keep his argument in my damn fridge.

Of course, both cartons are identical, so I had to inhale a bit of both to identify which is which. . .

After flushing the vomit from my toilet, I returned to the counter to label the cartons. . .

Woah, I just got an email from M.S. (followed by a string of blockish characters, I guess my browser isn't recognizing them).

"You must comply with the holy mssion (sic) or we will BOMB YOU."

Re: the first report

Does this:

well, the behringer mixer arrived.
i have heard horror stories about them not working, so i carefully unpacked it and checked everything out.

Everything did work as it was intended. off to a good start at least.

about 90% of the operating controls are self explanitory and easy to use. everything is well labeled in english and pretty easy to use.

i put it to it's first test by using it as a front end to my 4 track recorder. it has plenty of routing options to get the signal where you want. i went off the beaten path a little and fed a mike thru channel 1 into the subgroup, and applied the (insert) fx (compressor) only to that subgroup. the rest went to the direct outs. everything worked out pretty well.

two thing i did notice right away.

the fx is noisey. get anywhere above unity gain and you might as well be listening to a HF RECEIVER.! it is workable though, by keeping the RETURN gain down.

the second thing is the shelving eq's. gonna take some learing with these. as i understand it, it effects everthing from the marked frequency down (or up on the hi's) instead of being centered on that frequency. that being said, you have a low control that works from 80 hz down. kick in the 75hz rumble filter and you pretty much have no lo eq. seems to me that 80 is way to low for the bass eq...have to research other mixer specs...

so. i got , it worked. the fx is a little noisy, but MOST of them you want to use with the return way below unity anyway. so. it is useable. and so far i love the flexibility of the routing.

'ntil next month.... good recording...

Month 1: ooh look it's silver and it was very cheap too! i'm very happy and can't understand why that noisedude wasn't keen on his!

? ...or maybe its just me.
 
LMAO!! i can't wait for next month. then next time:

Month 3: Chessrock uses the rotten milk to sabotage his Behringer mixer, but this time it fails badly. It's clotted too hard to do any damage to the damn thing at all so he is forced to throw it from his 7th floor apartment window. It hits a milk trader in the street below, smashing both to pieces. So it turns out fresh milk is better to wreck it even before you take it out of the carton.
 
how can you say that, you cyber-terrorist? i bet you've tried making bombs out of milk at some point or another?
 
One mans rotten ,diseased milk is another man cottage cheese, or quite possibly yogurt .

You are most incorrect.

We Mas-lums, who adhere to the strict guidelines put forth by the PROPHET (All Praise Be Unto Him) and found in the sacred "Wholly Moron", do not consume foods produced by cows.

Cows represent all things evil and is the true Serpent/Satan which the "Wholly Moron" describes in full detail and the PROPHET'S (All Praise Due Him) supreme battle at Mt Beefius against the devilish Cow which can be found in Chapter 6, Verse H2O of the "Wholly Moron".

Have you rec'd my package I sent you via Fed Express yet?

It's a Behringer Mixer with a special surprise built onto the circuit board (as a matter o' fact it even sounds better with the C-4....errr, I mean the new "circuitry" I've included inside the mixer)!

I'll guarantee you your new gift is 'DA - - - - Diggity !!!!!

Now leave me you peasant.

A-Salaam A-Laikum.

:p
The Fed-Ex guy has been given explicit instructions NOT to deliver anything to my house with the word "Behringer" on the box.
 
That's funny, because I no longer accept deliveries of sour milk, from Mustafa, Chessrock or any other terrorist for that matter!

"Wholly Moron"? I read that book at school and I know for a fact it condones the use of mouldy bovine produce in exceptional circumstances such as the bombing of infidel states ("Behringer Factories") and the destruction of instruments of evil ("Behringer Gear/Mixer Users").

You've been trumped again Mustafa - MJ and me are on your case. Keep watching the sky for falling mixers.
 
I did a quick test with my Behringer MX802A and a used Soundcraft Spirit Folio F1 using two (unmatched) MK012's. The mics were set side-by-side and the gain structures matched as best I could manage. I armed two Cakewalk tracks and made some noise to get matching levels.

The CW level meters' lowest point is -50dB. The Spirit track danced just above that from room noise alone while the Behringer track would not go below -30.

I don't yet have headphones good enough to hear the difference. But the word around here is that Behringer mixers are noisy and I was able to see it for myself.

Does anyone know if the MX802A uses the "invisible mic pres"? If not, how much of an improvement are they?
 
Everyone has their own experiences..............I know a local guy that bought an MX8000, it and two more were replaced under warranty for a major re-occuring fault. Finally, after MX8000 #3 failed it was replaced with an MX9000............last I heard it was still going.

:cool:

All exept the part about the Behringer logo being printed in English.
 
EddieRay, the MX series use the old pres. the UB ones have the IMPs, they're most definitely quieter (i've found them to have less hiss than some spirits, side by side in the showroom) than before, but still don't sound brilliant. thanks, i guess, for bringing some sobriety to procedings.

is the behringer label in english? i've never noticed for all the lovely silver metal.
 
I bought a Behinger MX2004A... works fine for me. I dunno what the big deal is.

I'm just using it for preamps for my interface.. I didn't notice any of thise "noise" you were talking about.
 
*sighs*:o

Once again - if you compare the Behringers side by side with Yammys, Mackies, Spirits etc, they are far noisier and in terms of sound quality do not match up. You may well not have noticed but that doesn't mean it's not there.
 
I understand what you mean, it's just that I didn't take notice to any of it.

Whatever works, works. A Behringer mixer isn't going to ruin a recording.
