Re: how many of you use compressers ?
The built in's are the most basic of compression, the Yamaha mixers are a little better than the Behringers in that respect, but neither are great. They are however better than none at all.

Re: how many of you use compressers ?
I agree with Lonman. It is basic compression. However, DBX invented the technology. It is far superior to any other. They also invented the over-easy knee. It is much better for vocals. Behringer mixers are not very high quality. Their speakers and amps are above average. Look at a Allen&Heath ZED series mixer. Worth every penny. If you are a professional, you should invest in yourself to get quality equipment. It will last years and years. An extra hundred or two now will make your life easier down the road.

Re: how many of you use compressers ?
OK, so if you had say $300 to $500 to spend on a mixing board... which one would you get?
I have a KJ friend of mine that is using a very old, outdated board so I may give him the Behringer when it gets here since he said he really likes them. He's done things to help me in the past and he's a friend, so I'd have no problem giving this to him. So, let me know what the best mixing board would be in the $300 to $500 range. |

Re: how many of you use compressers ?
If your after one with built in compression then I don't think that model has it.
See how you get on with your Behringer first ![]()

Re: how many of you use compressers ?
Yeah, that's probably the best advice... since all I really know how to do is sing, I'll need to educate myself on all this sound stuff.

Re: how many of you use compressers ?
OK, so I ended up going with the Behringer Xenyx 1202FX for my mixing board since this is all new to me and I'm learning sound management. I can always go bigger later once I know more about this.
So, now I need some amplification... does the DriveRack PA+ come with amps? If not, any suggestions for amps... I like it loud and I can always turn it down. I got Behringer B212XL speakers which I think are rated at 850 watts, so let me know what you guys think would be a good amp to drive these. |
