I got an MX8000 sitting at a repair shop waiting to be tweaked out so I can get rid of it. The piece that Mackie sued them for.

48 tracks of mixdown OTB and it's not bad for that, at all. The preamps are total ass.

I have a coupe of those little, shitty, palmtop mixers. One's a headphone two buss and the other one couples A/V and jukebox feeds at my FOH rig into a return buss on the Soundcraft to keep channels open for the shows.

I also have a pair of the B2031 Truth monitors. I've heard worse but the idea that you can listen to thse things and they'll make you do what a pair of Gennies or NS-10's or Dyns will make you do, is ludicrous.

They're reasonably accurate but if you use them for a mix ref, your mix is gonna be a bass heavy crock of goo.

It's all going, ths year.

The desk, the Truths.. the small mixers belong to my FOH gig, they sit on the stage all winter.

Behringer also knocked off the dBX DriveRack. I have a three zone audio rig with subs. I'm trying to get them to pop for a DriveRack for better control and interfacing. You dont suppose that, since they're a bar and don't give a sh1t about anything but selling alcohol, that I'll be lucky to get the Behringer knockoff, instead, eh?

People dont buy records. They buy songs. People don't buy sonics, they buy things that just let them hear what they want to hear and lately, it's hard to get them to pay for the songs, too.

You can call it education, but if it's for a product, it's called advertising. Things haven't changed much. They've just been turned into a digital hash and digital makes everything inherently meaningless. Just numbers jumping through hoops. As long as Hans can get big numbers coming in to his accounts and keep the outgo numbers lower, he will be a profiteer and he will keep putting the same dog on the same pony.

The only vote you got is your wallet.

The rest is grandstanding.
