Never buy behringer under any circumstances.

Behringer MIDI controllers are pretty good.

I'd agree on mixing desks though.

I don't think they're that good. Its just really difficult to cock up a midi controller. Not exactly the most complicated pieces of kit.

Want the lowest grade components, high fail rates, poor post sales service and dubious ethics? Buy Behringer

The company that rips off other's designs and rebuilds them using cheapy shite.

Rant over.

Anyone hear anything about the m-audio NRV10 desk? Thats the only thing that interests at the mo...

to be fair to behringer, their midi controllers have never let me down... unlike the uc33, which only worked when it wanted to (and im not the only one thats had this problem - both my own one and davethedrummers decided to be moody at a perticularly loud gig we played)

.. throw a bit of smoke-machine or bass rumble into the equation and it shit itself.. whereas the behringers keep going and going.

I have the uc-33e myself and it has often played tricks on me. Thankfully not in a live situation, though, as i don't play out live. I imagine the behringer midi controllers to be good. I haven't heard anything bad about them yet.

Yeah not all the Behringher gear is crap, Ive also got an EP2500 Amp which was using to power a pair of Martin Audio WSXs for a while... alright it didn't quite have the thump of the labgruppen amps but certianly held its own and was upto the job.

Think where they go wrong is like amstrad used too.. cut corners where ever possible and Im sure if they had felt inlays on the faders to prevent the dust getting through, my desk would be as good as the day it was new.. But they didnt...

They do make me laugh though, not even discreet with modles are they... DJX600 DJ Mixer anyone :o)

Fair point, but that born in mind you can get a pretty good quality Behringer MIDI controller with continuous rotaries (with visual feedback) for under £100.

Loads of people I know use them, and not one has complained of a failure - ever.

And even if they did - well, it's only £88 to get another one.
