All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000

It was my first experience in control surface. I learned a lot with it are even listed abstract was very annoying at times (sorely lacking in displays). It has management options and settings important but how to solve the software is often worthy of the logic of the greatest theories of quantum physics. After 7 years of loyal service (and at the insistence of my husband) I finally decided to move on (I guess he was getting tired of hearing me groan before the keys become recalcitrant) (or perhaps sick of me wasting time trying to understand why the knobs did not respond), (I know, I tend to overuse parentheses). But I do not forget that with this my behringer advanced in the world of computer music would have been even less simple without it.
Finally, if you can not afford or simply do not want to buy you something other than this control surface, nothing of what I have written should dissuade you. It remains for an investment more than moderate an excellent choice. It is far from perfect, but it can work properly and that it is the most important.

- How long have you use it?
Few days. But the bottom (current mix all day long)

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Most is the incredible gain of productivities compared to the work surface without CONTRL.

Cons:
- The cheap cot
- The lack of monitoring of Behringer: few presets, documentation shameful ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Some

- How do you report qualitprix?
Correct

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes. For the price, it does not seem that there are equivalent. And is far better than nothing. In fact, we did a good job with, but there are limitations cited in the least. But for someone who did a lot of mixing, it is an indispensable tool.
As long as my budget will not allow me to acqurir an equivalent higher-end, I find that the product is nickel.

How long have you use it?
For five months, I've used so far in Reason 2.0 and 3.0. It is true that under 2.0, you must do everything oneself.
The assignments are not automoatiques, whereas under 3.0, there is nothing or almost everything is gr by the computer is really happy.
The faders seem rsistant solid, no play in latral faders, all buttons are also strong ... for now ..... saw no problem with knock on wood !

I have not tried in Cubase SX3 (lack of time) but I also think that this will be very easy!
How do you report qualitprix?
Trs good, not expensive compared to other midi controllers of the same kind.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
Rather than two!

BMOL small, it's true that her look is rather sober and dark but at the same time ... it is so easy to be used may well pass on his look!

- How long have you use it?
Less than a month I use a config to point

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
* The most: the incredible amount of assignable functions (small calculation: (8 fader X4 + 8X4 knob 8 buttons + 20 Button) X 32 = 2944 preset assignments possible (I am not counting the possibility of connecting a p dale)
also the possibility of paramtr the display type for knob

* The least: it's a really heavy set, the only doc is available on the behringer site, in English of course, not complete trs; to use the log (which is not provided and that 'we must all look on the site) you have to load a bin firmware latest issue in the table, and also the need to search the site from time to time it happens that a plant, lack of stability may be due to the USB, or maybe my software has, for the assignment noon, there is that possibility 16X127 assignationce of 2032 gives us possibilities so we can not configure all the functions of the BCF and finally ... there is no config file INTERESTED in DL on the net thus forcing all banging a mouse.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
I think, yes

Use for almost two years ...
The best: the report comptences / price ... ct the intuitive ... need the mouse ... almost ...
The least: not trs friendly ... everything is paramtrable ... and when one knows nothing about programming, "meeting" with the bcf is quite laborious ... but one gets to ... slowly ...
No other models essay ... since no direct conccurents ...
Report quality price! (209 euros ... suprieure CATEGORY: 990 euros!)
With exprience, I remake that choice without hsiter ... well we start seeing apparatre surfaces that are also CONTRL mixer ... This Reduces clutter and makes a bit manipulations ...
That said, APRS have used several versions of Cubase ... APRS and have stopped using it when I pass SX3 (since no driver available from the manufacturer) ... I ended up discovering that I can switch the bcf in mackie control ... and l. .. Yes, l. .. is the happiness! Everything has become so much easier!

So in fact, all dpend on what you want to do ... if it is to use software with a little more intuitiva ... TRS is a good product ...
If you really want to be in the pro ... CATEGORY better go see the ct of Digidesign and Mackie ... or M-Audio ... but ... breaking the bank: s. ..

How long have you use it?
For seven months now, the early days were difficult. Understanding the beast was not an easy task ...
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No this is my first midi controller
What is so special that you like most and least?
What I like most is the side of the gear motor and power the verse with another bcf in 2000 which allows me to double the number of tracks controlled, what I like least is the noise produced by the faders.
How would you rate the quality / price?
very good value for money. Since I have no bug said, the machine is plastic, but a solid plastic
With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes definitely. In my home studio setup I'm working with Reason in rewire cubase and supreme. cubase tracks are routed to the mixer and the slopes of Reason comes first on the BCF2000 before finishing on a single track mixing console.

For how long have you been using it?
This now three years

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No

What is so special that you like best?
Price, assignment opportunities that make it a complete unit.

What is so special that you like least?
These could Knob *** of which have a tendency to jump on the public that we are somewhat in the "vibe". A friend has lost three like that and I found mine during disassembly.
The USB connector does not support humidity (heat near the tip of a ligth on an amp or the BCF and connected so as to have a low moisture content).

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
It is unbeatable which makes it notes!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Eu .. hard to tell bumps under Ableton Akai I opted for a APC40, but I did not have the budget at the time. Finally I would say yes because nothing seems to last three years I'm using it forever.

Conclusion
You want to make the computer music but you have no budget! You do not want to spend hundred miles and then you do not know if music will really fascinate you, and happens to you. Great for beginning, on the other hand thereafter should aim bigger ... Especially for a live application.

For how long have you been using it?
2 hours

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, but I have seen other work beyond comparison (Digidesign C24

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Most: the motorized faders, ease of use (although for the moment, the phase assignment "faders / knobs' with my VST is tedious), the small utility that displays BCFView information to screen

Minimum: The integrated display style alarm clock radio (which does good to me), the "pads" come unglued rubber (I have already lost one), plastic buttons, which are cheap "bed -clack "each time, the knobs that I was looking a little fragile
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Definitely unbeatable

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Sure. In this price range, it is a UFO.
I use FL Studio on 9 / 64 with Seven Windows 64bit operating systems. It works nickel. The preferred method of communication with the DAW is "Mackie Control" (for video tutorials on the net well explain the integration of the BCF2000 in FL that way)

Bought new 155 euros (because that model-finish "midnight blue" if found 125 euros in white!) Hard to be disappointed unless you are in bad faith.
However, I would not have been reluctant to purchase a more expensive but better finish in the range of 250-300 euros but in a less cheap box with knobs and buttons strongest most elegant in the vein of the Akai MPC example ( but I am a very naïve!)
