Behringer Blues

Why is it that every wannabe recording engineer bags Behringer gear?
Yeah, sure, they are built to a price and there's way better out there, but I'm willing to bet that the people Behringer equipment is aimed at have skills way below the capacity of the equipment.

As an analogy... If you were learning to play the guitar would your first axe be a $5000 custom shop Fender or a $300 special? Only a fool buys the very best when their talents do not warrant it.

My studio uses some Behringer equipment (as do a lot of other studio's that are in the business of making a living). Hell, I recorded a top 5 independant album award on a Behringer desk.... So spare me the diatribe of how their stuff is no good and unreliable etc....

Here's a tour of the Behringer factory by Audiotechnology magazine....
