All user reviews of 5/5 for the Behringer B-Control Audio BCA2000

I was looking Premire my sound card (I recorded on MT4X up l. ..). It had to be easy to ACCS, intuitive connection with MIDI + analog and provided with a phantom power supply.
My computer config is Celeron 2.5 GHz PC with 246Mo of RAM.
I made one of Cubase (no NCESS then moult to own entries!)

UTILIZATION

Installation: Tlcharger the last driver in beta and connection to USB port and go!

What strikes first is the simplicity of use (the diodes are a big plus in ergonomics).

The manual is quite clear but would MRIT more explanation on the implementation of the map over configuration (it does just that to explain the function of each button ...)/

GETTING STARTED

The drivers seem correct, Behringer announced a new dj set day soon! we obtain a near-zero latency.

OVERALL OPINION

Assets:
+ Price
+ It's mouth
+ Happiness to handle large potentiomtres + diodes
+ Connectivity varies (MIDI, analog, numrique, alim phantom XLR, 2 headphone jacks with volume indpendant ....)
+ The 24-bit 96 Hz, low latency
+ Sound warm and plutt Fidler

Cons:
- Trs not stable (I will certainly add it ptites rubber soles ...)
- Connections that are made by derrire (except guitar and headphones)

The possibilities of this interface is USB 2 standard!

2 XLR MIC 48v power supply - between a stro - between a high impdance guitar - two headphone outputs indpendantes - 8 line outputs - Stereo Monitor Output 1 - 1 between an optical output numriques ADAT / SMUX - 1 of 1 numique coax output - All Dolby Digital and DTS compatible both with the numrique 8 analog outputs.
1 MIDI IN - OUT 1 - 1 OUT THROUGH configurable 2.

In addition, there is a limiter and a noise gate HARDWARE!

UTILIZATION

Having installed on a PC-based AMD Barton 3200 + with a motherboard ASUS A7V600 (VIA KT600 chipset) USB 2, I had no problem with drivers 2.0.1.6 available recently.
Everything works perfectly with this configuration.

As against the manual is not comprehensive enough Franais (bad habit Behringer).
But After all, the BCA 2000 is really easy to use and intuitive trs

GETTING STARTED

The 2.0 drivers are stable, no worries - Installation of RAS ct so ...
ASIO no problem in recording or playback, and whatever the frquence or RESOLUTION.
Also no problem in WDM dsormais with the driver 2.1.0.6

4ms latency possible if project not too busy ...
However, I find that the 2000 BCA uses more CPU resources than a Creative Audigy or EMU 1820.
But the cart is quite low ...

So I put 8 / 10 for the CPU

OVERALL OPINION

I just buy OCCAZ a week ago and I am fully satisfied.
It's almost unbelievable to have an audio interface if complte for this award.

The sound quality is excellent, as is the finish and simplicity of use.
However, my BCA in 2000 a default prampli A (breath, almost no sound, grsillement). This appears to be a common problem on Premire sries.
So I contact Behringer aussitt who handled my request. Barely 48 hours have APRS contact customer support, Behringer me that the card will be supported by UPS my home and it cost them (go / back to Germany)!
Maximum of the change 10 days!
Finally tech support seems to seriousness, which is increasingly rare.
I am totally satisfied with the performance of this card and srieux shown by Behringer.
Only I'm not going to 10/10 but 9 / 10 only because right now the BCA2000 with the current driver requires more resources than normal. Dj Driver 2.0 reduces the CPU load compared to older drivers. There is no longer that expected to declare it the perfect card ...

Buying an emergency if your config accepts no problem ...

For value for money plus possibité connectors, digital formats, the possibilities of routing, gate and limiter + the ability to insert ect .... IT IS not the picture was simple and perfectly meets my way to work, I was dreaming ..... beh the made.

UTILIZATION

Installation version 2 downloaded from the site nickel, problem reading and audio with a click in my first use séquenseur, looking a bit I uninstalled the drivers for my M-Audio Quatro everything is back to normal since . I just have just two days the manual is as light as ever but I love the diagrams describing the possibilities of the BCA

GETTING STARTED

Have not yet carried out tests of bcp, I find that the BCA bcp food resource and the cpu perfomance meter works a little too much like a VU meter, in the cubase. by taking the same conduct projects with the USB 1.1 Quatro yet in the perfomances are slightly lower with the Bca weird.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently, just two days, I like the general idea for which it was built to offer a product Polivalente fairly compact, easily transportable, enough to carry in my box quite quickly and make an idea a model of good qualities. Despite the rather unfavorable opinion and the various problems mentioned in the posts on various forums. I made the right choice for this award and his perfomances.

Connected, installed the drivers 2.0.1.6 and hop ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?</span>

Yes ... better not to add another sound card ... especially outside the beautiful favorite evolve on its own.
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The general configuration is easy?</span>

Yes overall after a small turn on the owner gets his way.
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...</span>

It's a good start but that remains succinct ... given the perspective offered by the machine, it takes a little time to adapt to his needs

GETTING STARTED

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The drivers are stable?</span>

Relatively ... qq concerns crashes especially in WDM ... against it by quite stressful live mix or ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Are they often updated?</span>
no, it's a shame

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- What you get lag?</span>

it depends on the apps, but overall it's still decent enough and inaudible ...

6 months

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- What is so special that you like most and least?</span>

The ergonomics are very good, the pots are nice, well made preamp and practical

monitoring is very useful to have what a pity it can not choose which way out we attribute, it can be greedy to ask for this feature is the sight of all that she has already ... but have a complete management monitoring also without this option ... What a pity!
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Have you tried many other models before buying it?</span>

yes ... She would like the comparison with other models (much) more expensive.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- How would you rate the quality / price?</span>

unbeatable for the features and despite its minor problems of stability

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- With experience, you do again this choice? ...</span>

Given my needs and my Buget: YES and YES it is however difficult to find right now ... and this is one of its main defect
