The-:
Mic on one channel and not talk over;
No flightcase appropriate;
One or two bugs that really require a true disco bar.

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

The Deejay BCD2000 Behringer Control includes features similar configuration but with a harder ...

How would you rate the quality / price?

Already excellent in 2009, it is even better now, the product price has been reduced (in Belgium) by the importer!

With experience, you do again this choice?

At the time, yes, it was the best solution for the use of computers in dances without having paid big bucks for, say, the Xone: 4D ...

I wanted to put me a mixer and as a student, I did not go beyond the budget of € 200. I chose the most complete (in terms of functionality), despite a good majority of negative opinions on Behringer in general. It was exactly two years ago and it still works.
I use it at home or meeting friends and I happened to use it once or twice in garden party.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are a real nuisance! Those who are lucky to arrive to run properly without worries, but in my case, I had blue screens and crashes traktor in times when it really had not and I struggled to make DNSC live with two Denon 2000. Still, I finally managed to find a configuration of traktor and I (almost) more problems.

GETTING STARTED

Installation is easy, an outlet, a USB port and it installs the driver, it is opened traktor matter. TSI and go.

OVERALL OPINION

Two years of use, I do not regret because it was a good compromise at the time.
I would do this choice in the same way as when I bought it but now there are more interesting choices.
I combined two DNSC 2000 (in view of replacing the BCD by a mixer noon) and I have fun with good.

On the other hand, the quality is bad (although ugly plastic) but you know it is weak then we try to be careful.
Mine has suffered repeated attacks by flying beer and fell several times but it still survive and everything works perfectly.

Finally it is not bad for a product that many people advised me to buy.

Especially attracted to the brand. j'hsitais with Hercules MK2. My neighbor bought a Mk2 me the behringer.
I 39ans, use accessories.
Gericom Laptop 2.4Ghz 512RAM 80GB Select
All connected to a sound Wharfedale pro.

UTILIZATION

It's been two days and I'm APRS impossible to operate normally. The controls move but no sound in the speakers just headphones. The galre. Can be a pb of ASIO driver. I'm going to download any recent attempt to rsoudre my bp. I would keep up to date. But little hope. My neighbor with the MK2 can dja mixer, I attended the installation with virtual DJ. Everything works perfectly. The advantage is that it can do without the mouse. Super easy.
Configuration for the moment impossible.
Manual clear and sufficient.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers for the moment cause me a lot of concern. I think the ASIO drivers and tests should be oprationnels provided with the console. In non ASIO latency makes it unusable Systm. Precision if o: 2 I use the usb! I had a Behringer and mail in with my seller this morning 7.26. I await a solution.
The software is supplied with Traktor LE. LE edition means light, and it's light, but they join a voucher for a cheaper upgrade to traktor.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it or trying since noon on Tuesday APRS 24.07. I spent my Wednesday am and my top to try to solve my pb. My neighbor who bought the MK2 came Wednesday am.
Apprcie particularity: the design
The least: It's a gas plant and should be easier to operate. I also prcise I'm not new to computers. I have a good level. I can get a PC of A and Z to make it work. Many other potential buyers may be not have my level. I wonder how they will do to install it?
I saw the other work at my neighbor's console. I hsit.
The report quality price INTERESTED. Prfrerais but I pay a little more and have all the drivers to operate the product.
I do not have that choice would do. Because MK2 may be a less pro look, but it has all the features of 3000. And if I buy, I would not entail going to try this galrer.Je APRS noon the new ASIO. But I am also very much and it's normal, my dealer and manufacturer.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this material since August 2007.
What I like most:
- Ease with which one can mix: the syncro works nickel
- The sound of the console gnral: I was nervous: in a stream MP3 sound system via a console 250 ... Well that's all that honorable as his !

What I like least:
To send a piece, it must select and drag one of the control panels. Sometimes, tracktor only take the first piece of the list (you can select any song, he wants to read that first). In this case, you must exit the directory or files are located and re-enter the directory. It's a small bug that will certainly be corrected in the future ... Hope because it is really the only ngatif I found this console

Stability of the driver, I can not say. if only after some use, the potentiomtres gains become crazy and I swings in volumes, see even a boiled trs not sound cool

set the day of the BCD3000 driver, I'm still waiting

I use it exclusively with traktor 3.2.2 mac-intel. I did the update 3.3, I uninstalled the LEDs LED does not light up under 3.3. and I do not will appreciate the redesign (partial) of the interface. I have not seen the progress of this release.

latency 5.5ms (default value qd I launch the application)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since July with more or less successfully

I love the south of CONTRL all custom settings of the software! ! At least those MAPPS ds tks file provided by native instrument: the lack of MIDI control by individual effects traktor plate (four are, however, rotating the top of the console)
The least, I would like a stability (reliability of its

report qualitprix I tend to say that that price, there is no miracle. is a Intgr (noon, sound card) with a quality finish scary! (Ex: be gentle with RCA connection that comes out of Casing! Buttons frankly "LGERS", etc.)

with the same budget if so, I would turn gladly home Vestax VCI-100 with a sound card or even from vestax, Allgemeine version of the vci-100 but team card sound.

OVERALL OPINION

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The presence of the Jog Wheel, or I thought was MS Audio Torq
- For what purpose?
Domestic evenings

Recent desktop PC type

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
No, I spent the night, fortunately there are forums that explain properly
- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
No I have not tested everything, but some soft mix definitely seems to ignore the buttons and fader of the BCD

No, but after that we found the right subject in the correct forum, it gets better

It is empty. And I like that I am not familiar terms, it gives me the impression of being price for a kid who reads a notice of a game Vache Qui Rit

GETTING STARTED

Yes, I think
- Are they often updated?
No, I think so, an update available
- What software do you use most often?
Traktor
- What you get lag?
Correct
- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
2, see 4 (but the last 2 c is a mouse), however the mix has two digital turntables c is a bit Hasbeens should leave a three decks interface

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
two days
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+ for all is, to say the least, the choice of interface effects on the BCD is zero (in any case I m not use), the fader too long, notched zero point of pitch, the cross fader too loose, faders and pitch too close to the jog, it mixes with tweezers or fingers of fees, the buttons are plocploc that do not light up when you select them, can take pressed twice (in the case of irritating Play / Cue), the sound is strange, you end up with something quickly out of focus.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, I discover, wonder how we can take pleasure in mixing with ca, I miss my vinyl.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Ben is not too expensive, so should not complain too much, it was worth our money, but no more.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
ever, it was to discover what kind of interface, the next will be more of a craft.

Ah little precision, packaging, is lamentable, that sense lugging ca 200 euros.

I received the console with the jog pad left twisted, seemingly before sending it repaired by a technician and a pen (we see the brand), it remains tjrs twisted, and thus hangs from time to time (very convenient for scroll pieces, default or not, we should not hope to scratch anything), the Service recommends to twist my in the other direction, on the phone ...
Otherwise, the law seems legeremnt flu, as if he had rust, and talking about rust, and Output Inpout legeremnts are rusty.
In short Behringer product dead cheap machines, stored, or I do not know, with a surface quality control, so this seems to be buying a lottery shot.
I maile twice their customer service, which is supposed to respond in 24 hours, I Always expect the answers.
Then I think shall replace the product, but the telephone did not like the seller.
Buy another brand
(Behringer, if you read me, I am trying to publish photos of the machine that you sent me, answer me quickly)

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
- The integrated sound card
For what purpose? What is your config?
- Use at home, small mix's.
- Macbook OSX.6, 1GoRAM, 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo.


UTILIZATION

What software do you use most often?
-TraktorLE & Traktor Studio 3

What latency you get?
- Very low (Using MAC OS, I do not know what it could give Windows.


GETTING STARTED

Installation is it not working?
- On Mac's Plug & Play)

The manual is clear and sufficient?
- Very basic but adequate.

The general configuration is easy?
- Assigning personal relatively simple in Traktor.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
- A few weeks ...

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
- Numark stealth control, I did not choose because no onboard sound and I found a tiny bit.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
+ Ease of use
+ Plug & Play
+ Compatibility with Traktor

- I bought this controller for the onboard sound and its relatively low price, gold, I still have not pre headphones that bothers me a bit (BCD2K Connecting via USB, and audio output from Jack Macbook)
- I found myself from the start with a wheel much harder to turn than the other.
- For the price we're not going to complain ...

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
- Good value for money in my opinion.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
- Yes, at the same time we do not find this cheaper "quality".
Ideal to try their hand at the condition of not being too demanding.

(Originally written by Madmike/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Which technical specifications motivated your choice?

I used a BCD2000 two years. But I updated my computer to a Macbook with Mac OS X and only the 3000 is compatible with it.

What do you use it for?

I use it for mixing in parties (indoor and outdoor, lounge and deep house ambiance).

What's your setup (motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive,...)?

Black 2.4 Macbook with Mac OS X

- Do you use it with other instruments or systems (mixing console, preamp, DtD, ...) and what's your setup?

With the professional sound system of the place (sometimes the sound technician is also provided LOL) or directly connected to active P.A. speakers.

UTILIZATION

- Did you have any problems during the installation?

No, it was much simpler than with the 2000 (see my tutorial ( http://www.mcdsound.com/2007-07/bcd2000-and-traktor-tutorial/ ))

- Did you have any incompatibility problems?

No but you have to download the update before installing.

- How complicated is the overall configuration?

The overall configuration is easy but it's better if you already know Traktor.

- Is the user's manual clear and comprehensive?

User's manual? Never read it =)

GETTING STARTED

Is the driver stable?

Yes but I disable the wi-fi function of my Mac since it sometimes slows down the audio streaming. I guess its due to the Mac's hardware architecture.

I never had this problem with the 2000 and a PC but I did disable the anti-virus when mixing.

It works pretty smoothly when the wi-fi is disabled.

- Which software do you use?

Tracktor 3

- What's the latency of your system?

Few ms. You can adjust it but you won't feel it anymore under 10 ms.

- How many tracks can you record/playback simultaneously?

Traktor 3 is conceived for 4+1 tracks (4 playback sources + 1 HDD recording track). But I have only tested it with 3 playback sources or 2 sources + recording. It works great, perhaps a bit slower only (especially the pre-listening function)

OVERALL OPINION

I got it a few days ago and it works perfectly with my Macbook.

But I had to return the first one I got because the right jog was faulty.

Considering that I haven't found a real competitor product on the market I would definitely choose this one again.
