This mixer seems really cool for the price - I was looking at an 01v, but now... Hmmm...

Anybody had a play with this thing?? Whadaya think??

behringer isnt really known for a great quality in thier products.

but maybe they shaped up before making this one though.

it's tight. I have an o1v and was looking into those, but i am going with the dm24 instead. Selling the o1v in about two months.

funny, but every piece of behringer gear I had has done what it was supposed to, no prob.

That mixer is sposed to be one solid MF'er. I know someone who knows someone who owns one and just flat LOVES it

Im damn impressed with the inputs alone!

I'm also impressed with what they managed to get into one unit. And the price is excellent, compared to buying two 01vs instead, like some people do...

hehe.

honestly I think behringer have their shit ironed out enough to make them worthwhile. Sure..you hear stories, but I have heard stories about Mackie, Emu (seen PLENTY of fucked up Emu gear), Access, Novation, Digidesign, MOTU, Emagic

uh..should I keep going?

sometimes people knee-jerk associate "affordable" with CHEAP, and there is truly a distinction in certain instances

so what the working protocol - you have 16 inputs 12 mic and 2 x stereo line - and 16 faders which either work as 16 chanel fader for whichever of the two position 32 channels you are working and then reverts to be sends & subs when flipped to master mode or something like that?

hmm... read some of the manual - it has a relative mode for mixing - when you click record in 'Relative' mode the faders set themselves to 0db but the actual fader levels is as-is in the mix & display on the fader screen showing their positions which also is audible - then if you go and grab a fader to tweak a channel it moves the fader posotion RELATIVE to 2 whatever the actual fader position is in the mix... handy!!! - so like if the actual value of the fader on channel12 in the mix is -18db and you grab the fader in record-mode while it is reset to 0bd and start to move the fader UP i guess that then picks up the fader position in s/w at -18db and starts to push up the level from there.... hmm!

balanced inputs and inserts too on all channels. also channels13/14 switches to input s/pdif or analog.

And 2 available lightpipe interfaces   I'd kill to get those extra 8 channels into my 01V.

Votive's 01V just went for $850-ish on Ebay.. So if I sold my 01V for $850 that'd still leave me with about $1200 to spend on the Behringer plus 2 ADAT cards.. A second (used) 01V actually WOULD be cheaper for me.
