[RWP] latency in reaper

Tue May 28 04:43:43 EDT 2013

probably the 602...same as I had for a decade before it broke lol.
I've used plenty of behringer live audio gear and it's always been 
favorable.  Other than my old, not gently treated 602 (which had beer and 
who knows what else spilled on it) I've never actually broken a behringer 
product.
Used their power amps, FOH passive and powered tops, subs, mics, mixers and 
quite a few pieces of behringer rack gear...all without an issue.
The noise thing is purely studio talk though.  Behringer gear does the job 
well in the live environment.  Less so perhaps in the home studio or pro 
studio relm.
quality control and mechanical designs have improved in the past 5 years to 
compete with the established guys in the market.
I've had enough stuff break, malfunction or go completely bonkers on me at 
live shows that I can speak with some experience, and my behringer 
experience has always been excellent.

It ain't no yorkville, but then again, there ain't much that touches 
yorkville gear.

I've had mackie stuff break, allen and heath, soundcraft and peavey, yamaha 
and crest stuff...anything will go south after a while when it's 
transported, set up, torn down and repacked and thrown in to the back of a 
truck haha.

I personally trust behringer products, so it's all good to recommend 
behringer to me.

regards
Colin
