Behringer Composer MDX2100

[Wadi]

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of getting this compressor for my setup ( I got a deal real dirt cheap). Its a discontnued product but this is something that I can afford for the moment. I intend to use it to "tame" the signal before reaching my harddrive and I'm using M-audio DMP3 preamps.

Is this setup necessary as the preamp is also a limiter? Anyone thinks that this compressor is crap?

Please advise.

Thank you

hi wadi,

i had this compressor and didn't like it! i think it sounds like how much it costs! your idea to compress to tape isn't that good with the composer - when you really want to do it, you want the sound of some nice, warm and little compression, don't you? - i have never reached such result with the composer!

so my final tip - leave the behringer where it is!

p.s.:andy has one or two in his studio, i guess , but i don't think he uses them anymore, exspecially not for what you want them to work on

bye alex

Thanks Alex..That sure saves me few dollars.. Maybe its time to get myself the sansamp BDSR I've been eyeing for....

PS: Andy, give up the behringer for free?
