Dear Scrubs,

Did you have a good Christmas? Will I be seeing you at Jamfest 6?

Dear noisedude,

Thanks for writing. My Christmas was swell. I spent it in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I golfed and ate, and golfed and ate. Good times were had by all.

How was your Christmas? I hope you got lots of great presents from Santa Klaus Behringer.

Take care and I hope to see you at Jamfest 6 (I'm making every effort to be there).

Dear Scrubs,

Glad to hear it. I didn't do much golf, but I definitely ate. Good times were had by all except the animals who gave their lives for my good times. :)

I received no music-related gifts, but I have some money at my disposal with which I could either upgrade my laptop to something I can actually run Windows XP on ... or I could buy a nice guitar or amp (I get trade prices) or even some additional recording equipment. I guess one has to decide whether one aspires to owning professional equipment or whether one is happy to let a hobby remain a hobby. In which case I'll blow the money on beer. :D

Jamfest 6 it is, then. See you there!!!

That's because most people who sing the praises of Behringer gear have NEVER tried anything else therefore have no way to perform comparisons with other equally priced gear.

Okay, I am game for this!

Start down the list of Behringer gear, and show me "equally priced gear" from other manufactures! I will agree it is equally priced if it is withing 10% of the price of Behringer gear. Also, it must have let's say 90% of the same features too.

This should be a long list eh Mr.NoIQ?

Heh....The list will be SHORT!

So scrubs, you are saying that the DI-100 is marginal, and doesn't provide "full and rich" sound? You can look me in the eye and say that this bass guitar is not "full and rich" sounding right?


Or this:

Maybe you should stick with removing tonsils cause you have NO future reviewing audio gear! ;)

Have you got any stuff NOT recorded on cheap gear?
 
Here's me old mate Ford Van at it again. Telling us all he can here no evil in his mighty Behringer arsenal which isn't surprising at all when the last output stage of his signal chain before his monitors is a shitty little throw away behringer mixer. :D
 
Well LemonTree, after listening to your crap mixes, maybe you should put a UB802 before you monitor amp! Things can only get better for you! ;)

Check this link out you Behringer sucker:
http://www.record-producer.com/learn.cfm?a=2838

If after reading this article & looking at the closeups of the Ultragain's tube and glow & you're still convinced the Behringer is the way to go,
then you sir are a FOOL!
 
Erm ... there's no picture there. And I rather suspect that even if it's that one with the LEDs behind the tube, Ed will probably tell you to use your ears rather than your eyes. Not taking sides ... just warning you.

I hate to see friends fight.
 
Yo' Nik, I've owned Beh gear and have significantly upgraded from that crap over the years! My ears CAN TELL the diff between cheap Beh shit and a unit of equal value!

You know what'll happen though ... he'll put up some tunes and ask you to pick out the Mackies from the Behringers ... and then we'll all look at our toes and mutter under out breath ... then Dragon will come back and ban him again and we can all go back to buying Midas gear only! :eek::eek::eek::confused:;):mad::rolleyes::cool::p

I'm glad you liked the results you got from it. I didn't say it was unusable, it just wasn't the tone I was looking for. I don't expect greatness for the price, so I am satisfied for what I paid. No more, no less.

I don't review audio gear for a living, so I'll probably keep my day job. I do know some throats I'd like to take a scalpel to. ;) :D

Go have a huehuetenango. You know you want one.

Wasssup Scrubs!! How ya' doin'!!?? Hope everything's fine with you & yours!

You know something, this newjack(@ss) Ford Van should simply be ignored!
He's been here all but a month and already is talking crap!
He's now on my "ignore" list!

I'd say he's been around a bit longer than that, and talking shit is one of his specialties :rolleyes: . It's all in good fun, though. Peace, QQ.
 
See, I hear you guys talking all this shit about how you can find COMPARABLE gear at a COMPARABLE price, yet, when put to the tast, you cannot produce links to this COMPARABLE gear at a COMPARABLE price, because it does not exist!

Ok Mr.NoIQ. Put me on ignore. At some point, somebody is going to PM you and tell you who I am. :) Then you are going to feel like the butt you are acting like right now. What is disappointing is that as Ford Van, you think I am an idiot. When I am a username you know, all of a sudden I am not an idiot. I DO NOT write any differently now than I did before. I say all the same things.

This is pathetic. As s _ _ _ _ man, you guys says "Well, errrr, I can't argue with Ed. He certainly DID do some pretty killer sounding work with all that cheap ass gear". But as Ford Van, I am an idiot who doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. Funny shit guys! It just goes to show that y'all pay FAR less attention to what a man knows and his work, which I have posted, than to his join date and post count.

I thought Mr.NoIQ would know who I am just BECAUSE I call him Mr.NoIQ. Oh well. Aaron must be too busy getting drunk (again!) and figuring up ways to bash Behringer gear that he obviously didn't understand how to use!

Now, scrubs, I didn't ask for you to do ANYTHING other than to be able and look me in the eye and say that those bass guitar tracks on those recordings don't sound "full and rich". I certainly used a Behringer DI box on them. That is what you hear. I don't hear any shortage of "full and rich". Listen man, I have used some of the most expensive DI boxes on the planet, Avalon, Countryman, etc... I can say with CERTAINTY that the Behringer DI passes a very good signal that is as full and rich sounding as just about anything else! I would much rather have a Avalon U5 for sure! But, there is about a $665 difference in price too! Now, if I had to choose between a Countryman and a Behringer, I would go with the Behringer, because it sounds just as good, and costs about $115 LESS! That is based upon DIRECTLY COMPARING THE TWO BOXES ON THE SAME SOURCES!!! I don't care WHAT the label says my man, I have great gear available to me. I concern myself with what works well. If I can snag up 4 Behringer DI's for the same price as ONE Countryman, and I don't lose quality, I am there!

Of course, it really isn't fair to compare the Behringer to the Countryman because the Countryman unit isn't active either. So, there is that. ;)

You guys should chill out. scrubs, go self prescribe some Paxil or something. Mr.NoIQ, come on back talking when you can say my shit don't sound any good. Sorry, most of us here don't have your high dollar wall street shit job and can afford to drink every night and look through Mercenary Audio catalogs figuring what we will buy next! Brotha man, most of us is po' schmucks with labor jobs, and just want to have some fun recording. I don't need no fucking high dollar shit to get the job done. Now, if you wanna start saving some cash, go buy some Behringer, and start asking me how to use it well. ;)

Peace out chumps.
 
between two headphone amps a compresor a tewb pre and a feedback destroyer (garbage) all my Beri stuff works fine.

The best deal in town are those headphone amps.
They dont sound bad, and they crank. Good useable, and affordable stuff there.

Sounds to me like the V-amp has some issues more than anything else.

I'll check out your tracks when I get home. I'm sure they sound better than any bass I've ever recorded. I don't doubt your equipment, skills, or knowledge, Ed. I would be curious to know the rest of the signal chain, though.

The original poster asked for negative experiences with behringer products. I posted my experiences with, and opinions of, the behringer gear that I own. Other than being noisier than most of my other inexpensive gear, I haven't really had any problems. I hear differences between the behri gear and other stuff that I own, but those differences would probably be unnoticed by most listeners. I certainly don't listen to music and think, "gee, they must have used a shitty behringer mixer/pre/di/etc on that track." You chose to attack my opinion of the DI, which is your perogative. I don't think I'm the one who needs meds.
