BehringerEurorackMx2804
While writing the last post, my Behringer Eurorack MX 2804, a 28 channel mixing console, died. It’s about 15 years old, and it was about 900 Deutschmarks as I bought it. Compared to the 8 channel Mackies and Yamahas, it offered more than great value for the money. I always loved it for it’s features (and trust me, 28 channels are not too much for a rack mixer), but I disliked it for the weird noise and hum it sometimes produced.
It really is a pity that it dies right now. There is currently no comparable device available on the market. I desperately wait for some Linux compatible firewire device to appear with at least 12 stereo line inputs and some mic inputs, to get my synths and other audio sources connected.
I guess I need to chose an el cheapo device for the interim period. RIP.
