THe RAVEger « Cheap - Entry Level! »
Published on 01/03/12 at 01:02Hello Marco,
Regarding the UC-33e, I'll be categorical as to make a MIDI controller for entry-level flaps yourself on a Behringer BCF2000!
The UC-33e is very easy to use, entirely Plug & Play and assignable at will, again, the layers available for assignment to various software are very useful and a very good idea (cons, there no layers to ... Ableton Live ???).
Where things get complicated is in the faders! They are a lousy quality, or after 6 months they were completely, saying "Dead," they worked but then they hung, bow laient against the metal guide that frame! A horror! I have a friend who has one and never had this problem so here goes, yet I am not a frustrated the fader, far from it!
So maybe I was the unlucky guy and I came across the only UC-33e bad but I doubt the price sums up what we can expect! The Behringer BCF2000 is also of the "cheap", the entry level but the 100-mm faders and knobs of much better quality and accompanied by LED level (the LEDs turn on and off depending on whether 'turning the knob one way or the other, it's very useful when playing at night, in dark !!!).
So, to summarize, I would not make this choice if I were you! If your budget is tight, opt instead for the Behringer! That said, this is only my humble opinion and is subjective!
I hope to have you help.
Musically.
Nox.
