The MIDI signals sent from your BEHRINGER BCF2000 (Or BCR2000) can be used to control more than just audio information. This guy is using his BCF2000 to control Quartz Composer on his laptop - great for adding some flashy visuals to your show!

The web today makes it really easy for us to share our experiences with the people we care about. Status messages on Twitter and Facebook, videos on YouTube or photos on Flickr, capturing a moment and sharing it with our friends, fans or family gives that moment a special meaning.
Imagine you’re in the subway and all of a sudden a group of strangers starts singing -  what’s known as a flashmob is happening right in front of your eyes (and ears). Or imagine you’re on tour with your band and have a super-funny story or acoustic demo of a brand-new song to share with your followers and fans. How awesome would it be if you could capture this moment on the move and instantly share your recording with your people? We think that would be pretty awesome…
Today, we’re excited about the release of the recording feature. The Record button will make it easy for you to capture all kinds of sounds right on SoundCloud & with the iPhone app and share them from anywhere to everywhere on the web: your website, social network profiles or simply between friends & family.

Behringer CS400 Stomp Box Pedal to Boss CS

Posted by MUSIC Gears Tuesday, December 7, 2010 0 comments

"Very comparable to Boss's CS line of pedals. Allows you to really dial in the type of compression you're looking for. Unit is made of plastic so it might not stand up to brutal use. The sustain function works fairly well though I wish its max sustain level would hold the signal longer. For the price and its functionality this is a decent pedal to add to your setup."
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Behringer B412DSP Review

Posted by MUSIC Gears 0 comments







It doesn't matter if you need a PA system for a heavy metal band, a church or a one-man show. You want a speaker that sounds great at whisper level but can also level the house if needed.

The state-of-the-art Behringer B412DSP PA speaker system boasts 600 Watts that will simply blow you away. It holds a bi-amped 600-Watt engine which drives a high-efficiency 12-inch woofer for brutal punch and a 1.75-inch titanium driver for high-end resolution. The built-in mixer allows you to run the show without any extra equipment.

But this animal also has a brain: a powerful 24-bit DSP controls the crossover, a dual compressor/limiter, phase and time corrections and even a noise gate. The intelligent dynamic EQ makes sure your system sounds perfect at any sound level.

Best of all, it's so lightweight you don't have to be a gorilla to carry it.

Behringer DDM-4000 Review

Posted by MUSIC Gears 0 comments




Hey DJs and Fans alike,

I am a beginner DJ but can distinguish decent products from not so great products in the DJ business which leads me to my review.

I recently got my hands on the new Behringer DDM-4000 and am blown away by the quality of this mixer. I know that Behringer doesn't have the best rep for DJ equipment but that assumption was blown away and earned cool points with this Mixer.

The DDM-4000 mixer houses some of the most detailed settings available. Everything from selecting which input channel to add effects to recording a sample and replaying them in your remixes. All out of one mixer. This mixer does have a little bit of a set back.

With tons of features, it also has a pretty high learning curve. This mixer (although great) will require you to truly take time to get use to. However, once you get through the initial learning curve, the remixes will sound awesome. Kudos to Behringer with this engineering marvel.

Behringer DJX750 is professional 5-Channel DJ Mixer with Advanced Digital Effects and BPM Counter. It merges intuitive operation with built-in digital effects processing for clean, transparent sound that will set your dance floor on fire! Because your voice is your instrument, the DJX750 features a dedicated mic channel with all the tools to make your sound supremely distinctive. Vocal fine-tuning is handled by the onboard 3-band EQ, which provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut at LOW (80 Hz), MID (2.5 k), and HIGH (12 kHz) frequency centers--creating an extremely broad tonal palette.

Not Just a DJX700 Dressed in Black!
DJs the world over love the DJX700, so when Behringer began design on the DJX750, they had to do something very special. They started by revving up the FX processor and putting advanced parameter control right at your fingertips.

No longer are you confined to rigid presets that limit your creativity. With the DJX750, you can change FX parameters on-the-fly, pushing your performance to the next level. In no time you'll be creating powerful sets with your own custom-tailored effects sounds, all of which can be controlled in real-time. Some parameters at your disposal include Bit Crusher depth, manual filter sweeps, Panning (LFO Rate), delay/echo time and much more. You can even set delay and echo timing relative to the internal BPM counter for extremely musical results. It is kinda like a DJX700--but one on steroids!

Really good digital effects add the finishing touch to a solid performance, and ours are really good! With 33 outstanding effects to choose from, including an assortment of Phase Shifters, Flangers, Reverbs, Delays and more, your audience won't know what hit them. There are even Auto Filter and Voice Changer effects that will take your show to a whole new level.

Channels Galore
Because your voice is your instrument, the DJX750 features a dedicated mic channel with all the tools to make your sound supremely distinctive. Vocal fine-tuning is handled by the onboard 3-band EQ, which provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut at LOW (80 Hz), MID (2.5 k), and HIGH (12 kHz) frequency centers--creating an extremely broad tonal palette. The DJX750's stereo channels' EQ utilize the same frequency centers with a boost of up to 12 dB and a cut of as much as -32dB. These channels are equipped to handle every conceivable input source--from line level, phono, CD and tape decks to mp3 and minidisk players, Behringer's got you covered.

Auto Ducking
DJX750's talkover function automatically detects your voice and brings down the volume of the music track (referred to as "ducking"), so your voice is always out front--you can even set this level to your own personal preference. Auto BPM Counter Sync'ing up tracks is an art unto itself--that's why Behringer gave the DJX750 dual Auto BPM Counters. This cool feature helps take the guess work out of making a smooth transition from one track to the next. Each BPM counter's digital display shows which channel it is tracking and the tempo of the music in beats per minute. Optionally, you can push the Beat Assist button in time with the song to manually enter the tempo. You get a read out of the tempo difference between the tracks, as well as a visual confirmation when they are in sync. These tools will help you seamlessly align two tracks--without having to rely solely on your ears.

Crossfader & Channel Faders
All of our super-smooth faders are of the high-grade 45-mm ULTRAGLIDE variety. Faders are, after all, the heart and soul of every mixer, and with their 500,000 cycle life expectancy (that's 275 fades per night, per fader for five years without a break!), they outperform standard faders more than twenty-to-one. And since the crossfader uses VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) technology, there is virtually no audio noise. For those of you who prefer customized crossfading, the DJX750 also includes our CF Curve control, which lets you set the crossfader's control characteristic just the way you like it. It is, after all, your show!

XPQ 3D
Making music larger than life is what it's all about and the DJX750 comes through on this in a big way. XPQ 3D Surround widens the stereo field, giving it immense depth and a stereo image that is full of life, with amazingly transparent sound. You determine the intensity of this stunning effect with a simple twist of the Surround control--from barely noticeable to supremely spectacular.

Sound Quality
None of the above-mentioned features would amount to much if the DJX750 didn't sound truly remarkable. That's why Behringer equips each one with our tried-and-true ULN (Ultra Low-Noise) preamps: what comes in comes out, with nothing added. So you get maximum headroom, extremely low noise and ultra-transparent sound. Compare it to the competition for sound quality, features and value and you'll see why more and more DJs "own the night" with their Behringer DJX750.

Monitor Multi-Tasking
You can't put on much of a show if you can't hear what you're mixing! That's why Behringer didn't cut any corners on DJX750's monitor section. When the monitor Mode switch is in the "Split" position, you hear the PFL (Pre-Fader Level) output on the left side of your phones, and the Master signal on your right. If you prefer working in "Stereo" mode, you can turn the MIX control fully counterclockwise to hear the channel PFL signal in both sides of your headphones, fully clockwise for the Master output, or you can "mix" both signals by adjusting the control to anywhere in-between. You can listen to one or multiple sources, and LEDs light up to indicate what you're listening to.

Features:


  • Professional 5-channel ultra-low noise DJ mixer with stylish, black design
  • State-of-the-art 24-bit digital effects with advanced parameter control
  • Intelligent dual auto-BPM counter with time and beat sync display
  • Super-smooth ULTRAGLIDE faders with up to 500,000 life cycles
  • Awesome adjustable XPQ stereo surround effect



The BUGERA V22 was listed as the #2 cool gift idea in Time Out Chicago’s “10 Cool Gift Ideas for Cool Guys” blog post.
“The V22 looks like a more expensive boutique amp, with its arrow-shaped controls and creamy nameplate panel area. I’ve toyed with one for a bit and found that it has the British-type tone that lover’s of the ’60′s Who/Stones/Kinks will dig, lots of colorful high-end, but also a nice midrange body. It’s easy to dial in classic rock and blues sounds via a three-tube pre-amp stage and two tube power stages a mid boost and overdrive.” — Time Out Chicago, December 2010.

“With all its input options and with all that help it offers for room and system adjustments, the TRUTH B1030A should make itself useful in just about any circumstance.” Recording Magazine, December 2010.
