Re: Quality Reliability Of Behringer Mixers?

I won't repeat in detail my opinion of Behringer, I've said enough in that thread, but in a nutshell, I'll second what most people are saying here - DON'T DO IT! Behringer looks good at first - Ooh ahhh, the...

Re: Dynaudio monitors (vs. Mackie)?

Cheers for all your replies, everyone. I did in fact own a pair of HR824's but it took some time to realise that while these speakers would require - ideally - a pretty big room with plenty of space behind the monitors themselves.

Re: ANYTHING BEHRINGER - yeah it's cheap, but we all use it.

I wouldn't buy Behringer if they made guitar picks. Not trying to be an elitist, really, but lord have mercy does their quality control just suck.

Re: OT: Elliott Smith has died...

I've been reading TapeOp for about 2 years and have been browsing this forum for a while, constantly learning things about this passion we all share of recording music. However, this is my first post. I was hoping it would be in a thread where I could help someone in a technical manner, perhaps ask ...
