Guest mutans Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 what about this piece?? thx and bolenaht! Quote
Guest suarajana Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 behringer makes some of the best studio mixers around- the vmx is their dj board if it feels good, and the price is right, go for it man ; ) Quote
Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Hope I won't step on anybodys toes - but I must air my opinion on Behringer mixers... I have one, and it's driving my crazy - the EQs are no way near other brands (aching for a Makie...), the routing is very inflexible on the smaller models (two MONO sends, with only pre-fader on one of them - sure, I could have checked that out before buying, but still...), and the "ultra low noise design" - yeah right, compared to what?!? A traincentral...? No mute option, and the soloswitch seems to turn up the gain to a ridiculous level. My "mixer" is not that old, but it has loose connections all over the mainsection, and a weird tendency to distort when turned on for about an hour or so... I would like to think that I treated it well, but it's a mess, so either I didn't, or it's lousy quality - or I'm just out of luck. I am certainly steering clear of Behringer in the future... Quote

Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Dang - sorry about that... I don't care much for Microsoft Internet Explorer either Quote
Guest brian surge Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 All beringer kit is cheaply made in china no wonder it is such bad quality.Andreas is damn right, cheap and nasty sums beringer up i think(just let your ears decide) Quote
Guest mutans Posted March 1, 2002 Posted March 1, 2002 Thanks guys.......so do you think Numark matrix3 could be better??(i know ...not in the price)!!!..bolenaht! Quote
Guest CrusadeR Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 What about Behringher 2004A ? is that model crap 2 ? i'm asking because i might buy it.. Quote
Guest brian surge Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 Dont know about this exact model but in general behringer mixers are not very good quality, they might seem like a good buy but they never last as long as other makes. I have a friend who works with sound systems and he was constantly sending off his behringer kit for repairs (until he stopped using it). I'm not saying dont buy one, just shop around see what else you can get for your money. Good luck crusader. Quote
Guest suarajana of morphlab Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 mutans sounds like you're looking for a turntable mixer rather than a studio mixer usually dj's go for what feels good on their fingers, how easily the crossfader slides (without blasting static when you move it) and how many busses it has (for plugging non-turntable shtuff in) . there's a lot more interesting dj-mixers out now other than the vmx, like ones with samplers built in them so you can sample loops from records and let it repeat, etc (and of course sound quality and how durable it is) in a studio you really can't go wrong with a mackie board. they are very durable and transparent sounding, and ALL the inputs (busses, mains, sends) are all made with the same circuitry. other companies usually put cheaper 'pipes' in the sends and better ones in the mains. http://www.abrapro.com/ ^ very good dj equipment dealer. for a studio though, get a mackie.

Guest CrusadeR Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 so u are saying all mackie mixers are better choice then behringer one ? Quote
