In short, I'm removing Behringer gear from my life as quickly as possible.

The next day we arrived several hours early in order to setup all of our own stuff (because I wasn't gonna run Boots and Silk E through that shit show of a sound system.I would have been embarassed.the folks who ran the club were great, but the gear was just awful). We ended up using the two 12" Yamaha monitors I happened to have in my truck at the time for the mains that first gig because the Behringers were so awful. We ended up bringing in all of our own stuff, because when we'd run bands through that stuff the day before it simply sounded awful. We also ran sound for the Coup at a club here in Austin that had all Behringer gear. We also have a 2500 watt Behringer amp that's up for sale compared to the (admittedly much more expensive) Crown amps in the rack, it's not great. We also have an XM8500 microphone that's defnitely not a good replacement for an works, but it sounds quite strident. The Behringer has a couple of channels that are spotty, and has comparatively very low headroom. We have a little Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer for a moving dance party concept we do, but I've started taking the Mackie 1202 instead. The brand is banned from the audio cooperative I'm part of (as is Pyle Pro) because of bad experiences. I've been unhappy with every Behringer product I've ever owned. I don't know about this particular unit.but. However, to hear the tracks on top of which you're recording, you need to hit the "To phones" button, and in order to hear both the tracks and what you're currently recording, you need to hit the "To main mix" button. That being said, I think it's pretty good quality for the price and if you can ignore the huge power adapter, it might serve you good.Įdit: it turns out that by default, you can hear what is being recorded via the phones out.

That being said, the Behringer has a few disadvantages: it doesn't have direct monitoring on the phones out, meaning that you can't hear what's being recorded while doing so, it only has a single preamp, which can be a bit frustrating if you want to record guitar and vocals at the same time for example, it's a mixer, which means you're going to end up with all your inputs on a single track and unlike the 2i2, it can't run solely on USB power. They're both pretty damn good interfaces with a really low noise floor. Since this is my first USB interface I was wondering how it stacked up to something like a Scarlett 2i2 so I managed to borrow one from a friend and I can say that there's not that huge of a difference.

Just to give you an idea, here are some recordings I've done using this setup: raw voice / full band, recorded one instrument at a time and mixed together. I didn't have a microphone so I bought a Shure SM58. I actually got one of those from my friends for my birthday a couple of months ago and I've been playing around with it quite a bit.
