Default Re: USB Mixer/Interface

... this one really is on the bottom of the quality scale.

Your opinion...

I have a basement (studio) full of Behringer gear, and I've never had any problems with any of it.

I have three Behringer mixers, the largest of which is a 2442. Does it have the sound quality of a Neve? Emphatically, NO! But then I paid $250 for the Behringer, not the $250,000 a Neve would have set me back.

Here's the thing...it's called "price of entry".

Behringer allows people to start recording for a couple of hundred bucks. If recording holds their interest, they'll probably invest in better gear as time goes on.

But if the "price of entry" is a thousand bucks or so, quite possibly the next CLA might find another interest.

I don't use my Behringer stuff a lot any more...I've moved on to (at least somewhat) better gear. But had it not been for the Behringer mixer I saw for maybe $80 at Guitar Center when I went in to buy some drumsticks, I probably would not have started recording again.

Behringer gear has its place...maybe not in a multi-million dollar studio...some might argue it's in a trash can...but it allows a lot of people to get started in the hobby/occupation a lot of us really love...

Just rockin'...what more is there?
