| Subject: | Read my review, Trust me it is very helpful! |
| Quality:
| Yes, it is made pretty well I think. I just got it a couple days ago and it took me a lil bit o find out how to get it all prepared but I finally got it working and Im happy with it and it is very dependable! |
| Features:
| The best feature on this product in my opinion would be the mixer because it controls everything you need to use for your recording music because that is what I do. I would add more instructions to how to work all this because alot of beginners like myself wouldnt understand. |
| Ease of Use:
| At first I didn't know what to do but then I called people and I called the company and got tech support and it worked out pretty well. For a beginner it may take time but in the outcome you will be set with it. Also if your computer is a windows xp make sure it has a firewire plug in on it because if it don't then you will have to buy one, they run around $50. |
| Sound:
| Its tone is pretty good and if your a beginner I would consider getting this. |
| Reliability:
| Over time I got better with making my music better and I am starting to learn more and more everyday with my music. If you want to see how my music sounds go to [www.myspace.com/hecdiddysmusicpage] and my email is hecdiddy1@yahoo.com |
| Overall:
| My opinion for this product is it is and excellent product and I am very happy I decided to get this but I am going to get more accessories for it like a pop filter, blank cd's, a microphone stand that stands tall, and studio monitors, and then from then I will grow with it and get better with my equipment and music. |

| Subject: | Perfect starter kit for your home studio |
| Quality:
| Typical Behringer quality and value - good bang for your buck. |
| Features:
| I gave this a 4 for features only because the mixer does not have an off/on button. That's about all this mixer doesn't have. Great for my personal home studio use. I don't need 12 inputs. |
| Ease of Use:
| Very easy to use. Just wish the mixer had the on/off switch. The headphones are not bad and the mic is decent also. I still use the C-1 mic for certain vocal tracks. |
| Sound:
| This mixer is very quiet - great for a recording mixer. The headphones are good for listening to music more than for recording where you want more of a flat response. |
| Reliability:
| This has proven to be very reliable in the year that I have owned it. |
| Overall:
| I bought this kit to get my home studio started. I do not do pod casting. I ended up upgrading the headphones (Sony's) and vocal mic (Behringer B1). The mixer and firewire device are worth the money you pay for this kit. It will get you started without breaking the bank. |

| Subject: | Great home recording package! |
| Quality:
| The mic is solid and sounds great, the mixer didnt sit quite level, but I put it on a mousepad and that made it all better. The cables are only about 5ft long for the 1/4in, 4ft for the xlr, and about 2 or 3ft for the firewire. |
| Features:
| The mic has a crystal clear sound. No sound means no sound there is no buzz or hum at all. It is a very good interface. The ability to record in 41, 48, and 96kHz is really nice. The default format for most video editing programs is 48kHz so it works good for soundtrack work or overdubs.
I have been using it for home recordings so far and it sounds great. I've only had it a couple of days, but the acoustic songs i recorded sound amazing. The mic is really good for acoustic and vocals. |
| Ease of Use:
| At first I tried to use it with Adobe audition 3, but I couldnt get the hardware config right, so I used cool edit pro 2.0 (pretty much the same as audition, by before adobe bought them out) and it worked right away with no problems. |
| Value:
| I'm on a college student budget so this worked out great. Way better sound than I expected for the price! |
| Appearance:
| Looks pretty much like the picture except when its hooked up there may be a few wires running around. |
