NEMO.BOFH Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 with: wow the sound! I can only say... I wish I never went Behringer in the first place. I should have stuck with Mackie! (Had the 1604 in the old Studio in Sweden) Nemo Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 what did you do with the Behringer?Its going to repair (AGAIN) and then I am selling it super cheap. (its a DDX3216, very good mixer, but I just am not happy with it). Damn, the sound of this Mackie is better than I thought, the sound is just so diffrent from the Behringer. Its warm and cozy! Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 She is very quiet indeed. Damn, I had forgotten why I love Mackie so much. Thank you Mr Behringer for bringing me back on Track! Quote
Jikkenteki Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 with: I should have stuck with Mackie! (Had the 1604 in the old Studio in Sweden) Nemo A couple months ago I sold my 1402-VLZ Pro. Granted I still have an SR24･4-VLZ Pro a my main mixer, and I wasn't using the 1402, but still I kind of wanted to keep it around as an emergency live mixer. Alas, space and financial reality won the day. One nice thing about Mackies though is that they have a fairly strong resale value. I completely lucked out with my SR24-4 because I bought it used and one of the sliders was loose (still works though) so I got it in an auction for only $500, elsewise I could have NEVER afforded it. However I am noticing something here. Recently you got a Mac, now a Mackie.... I seem to recall you having an M-Audio soundcard... Tell me my friend, do you have some sort of "M" fetish manifesting itself through your musical gear? Quote
mentris Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 how much did you pay for the mackie? i have a behringer here, too, and I'm not very happy with it... Quote
lumpi Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Seems to be "get rid of your Behringer time". I ordered myself a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro myself too just recently, the days of my crappy behringer mixer are numbered now. After all, you always get what you pay for Quote
w_lizzard Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 The truth is that I had some problems at the beginning with Behringer mixer but after finding some drivers it worked very good without any problems still now. If you are a 'junior' dj then it will work just fine. Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 I paid 299 Euros for the 1204VLZ3. Yes, I have a M Fetish, Jikkenteki! I will mainly use this mixer for Live Performance I think, and for Production I am going to get the ONYX (but that has to wait until I get some serious money). However, for production, this little beast is more than enough. I can not believe this mixer though, when I have everything at 0db on my Digital Mixer its well loud, but if I do the same on the Mackie, it almost blows my Speakers.... there is a lot of playroom there, if I keep my Master level down. Anyways, i have decided to keep the DDX for the time being, as you never know what might happen in the future. It IS a good Digital Mixer, with a LOT of nice Features. Nemo Quote

Colin OOOD Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Nemo, do you use Moog and MOTU? ...and are you going to change your name to Memo? Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 As a Matter of Fact, I will buy a MOTU UltraLite as well haha (ITS A DAMN CONSPIRACY!!!).... Anyways, I just finished 3 tracks in my new Project and mixed it on the mackie, wow (New Project name: Mr. M... Just kidding, its called Alter Schwede) Quote
RTP Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Its going to repair (AGAIN) and then I am selling it super cheap. (its a DDX3216, very good mixer, but I just am not happy with it).oh man ... that DDX3216 is a huge piece ... I thought it would be a similar 8 channel mixer, that's why I asked... Quote
