In Reply to: Behringer DEQ2496 Mods - Could this be a good musicserver DAC? posted by travisty on March 30, 2007 at 16:49:08:
and sold it last fall after living with it for about a year or so.I use a Presonus Firepod for onsite, live recordings and it serves as my outboard DAC as well. It does fine for those jobs. Originally, I purchased the DEQ for its room-matching system, found in many of the contemporary 'pro' monitor systems these days.
I was underwhelmed with that particurlar function but found the Real Time display useful while mixing down tracks.
I order to use the Compressor and Limiter functions, the audio streams had to be processed back to analog the run through the DEQ and back to digital - not worth it, IMHO. I use the software-based equivalent functions in Cubase instead.
The parametric equalizer is a bit of a pain to manage the settings with the small window it uses. Call me old-school, but I still like the old sliders in a row if I'm going to manually do equalizing. Otherwise, its back to the DAW's functions.
In the end, then, I really didn't find it that compelling. It does a whole lot of thing that I really don't need.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
David
