Behringer takes control

[lepetitmartien]

On Behringer itself I've learned a few things:

- Never ever use their EQs, NEVER
- Quality control is better on small mixers
- You have gear for the price you buy (in general, there are exceptions)
- First batch are better than the following (no rule)
- They don't like Macs.

Now better use a behringer product if you can't pay more for something else and it allows you to DO things

Back to the control surfaces…

Like the DDX, Mac support is limited (don't count on a DDX support on mac… they never promissed it and a mail exchange I had with a guy at Behringer at the time was clear on only one thing: they don't care). What I was saying is if you don't have a PC beforehand to help customize the thing then you will rely on:
- default programming of the thingies
- profiles made by Behringer announced for the Mac platform.
- the Learn Feature.

Now as it's always a bit tedious with their manuals (I had a hard time checking about the DDX when it came out) and we have only promises from the press release and site, I can't be absolutely adamant on all this.

We can only hope they make profiles for all major apps.

Now they have in the same line of product a USB2 audio interface with some controls, but it won"t be supported on the Mac platform, which is stupid as there is a market for it.

Now if there is tomorrow 3 millions of GarageBand licencies sold by Apple, expect to see them move a little. Well I hope so…
