All user reviews for the Behringer DDX3216

View manufacturer's description.

UTILIZATION

I bought it because it fesais an all in one, mixing and effects. I have not exploited its full potential. I used it only for mix tapes are and what instrument I played. For the first console, I managed to get out with the documents provided. Both in terms of uses that connection to my instruments and my sound card.

SOUNDS

The sonoritée is good for my level of use. My chain is generally consistent with his plays and microphones Behringer Samsons more I used it in my room in a small room with sound not studied.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use more than 2 years since I moved and not yet reinstalled my music corner. She almost always had a problem at the level of which ventillo fesais sound of chopper aumoins for a good quarter of an hour before doing a little quieter. She sleeps in a closet and hope it will eve ... well surprise the day I remmetrais up.

I hope this little review has helped you, I'm not exercise specialist.

everything is already said elsewhere, the month I use the extension with adat and 8 in the same brand. of shots I can route a what I want, but only in groups of 2 in / out.

UTILIZATION

not need manual, overall if you know the 01v well ... damage must be forgotten because the ergonomics of this console and have a reverse reflex ....
but everything that is annoying on the 01v is easy to access this one.

SOUNDS

is the c or c is interesting: against all expectations the sound is really good, contrary to what one might expect for the price and c is astonishing .. by comparison beside the 01V96 has converters aggressive enough in the highs and low cold enough ... The EQ is much more complete and effective on the console.
the effects are quite correct. however I'm not super convinced by the compressors.

OVERALL OPINION

What I love most is ergonomics c which is much more simple and accessible as on a 01V.
there is a bar graph in lane c is great.
the sound is also better that what we say (and despite the difference in price opportunity !!!!).
c now it is a pity theres no treatment on the master or the 16 bus ... no delays no longer possible .... c is really poor on this side ...
in fact what the console has suffered reliability cest. I think the problem come from the power supply, fan and drain hole are ridiculously small and the console seems poorly ventilated. Me my mine made some false starts in extreme conditions, below and above 10.C 35.C but since I've done it 4 years, used multiple configurations, I have never had any problems but I add for safety behind a UPS.

I work on a lot of numerical models 01v/96, 02V, M7CL, DM1000, DM2000, SONY-DMXR100, PM5D ICON ETC ....
I can say that Berhinger really did a great job on this console and also really shit on food, once they are thrown from professional .... damage
But this table is very interesting and helps out if you fall on a series reliable.

UTILIZATION

Excellent console in use!

SOUNDS

Sounds great! Maybe not optimal, but some will say though, I love!

OVERALL OPINION

* For how long have you been using it?
I use it regularly now for a little over a year.
* What thing do you like most/least about it?
I love everything about this console and I've never had problems with (though I use it often in difficult conditions (cold, humidity ,...).
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes, I fiddled a little Yamaha 01V96. And I tried the Tascam DM3200, these two are great too, but I love my ddx so I prefer it in common use in the past two
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent!
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Absolutely!

The ddx digital mixer has all the standard studiotools on board, like channel delay, gate, compressor, effects, and even phase reverse. It's just a complete production package, can't think of something missing. the expansion slots give you the opportunity to hook up adat , tdif en aes-ebu equipment. In the near future , i'm going to install a adat board in the ddx and in my pc, so i can record up to 32 channels digital audio on my computer. Wow, at that price!!

Price paid: 1399 euro

UTILIZATION

Not much has to be said here, very easy! I started without reading the manual. Offcourse, when you're a newbie in studioland, it's neccessary to read the manual. But hey, why should you buy such an advanced device then?

SOUNDS

Well, let's be honest, it's not a yamaha o2r96, but i'm not owning a 1 milion professional studio. For semi professional use, especialy when you won't make any acoustic recordings, it's perfect. I believe the pre amps, can be of better quality.But in my situation, only line gear is connected except for one condensor mic. And even that one sounds great! effects are pretty good, but i wont sell my lexicon! dynamics are a bit lame, better use the inserts to route them to youre analog compressor. But in most circumstances, they are pretty usefull.

OVERALL OPINION

The first range of analog behringer mixers were not that robust. but i have to say, this one is just as robust as e.g. the yamaha o1v, wich i recently laid my hands on for a mixjob. No negative comments here!

i love it!!!! Because of it's price it's a perfect substitute for the more expensive mixers from e.g. yamaha. I own it just for a few days, but this is the best buy i made in years!
