Re: Behringer DSP2024 Virtualizer(was RE: Lexicon MPX500=good loop mangler?)



Well, I've used Behringer products for some years, now, and I find that the
audio quality is good enough for my home studio and my rack. Currently I'm
setting up a studio around their DDX3216 digital mixer and an RME 
soundcard.
I already use a 2004a mixer (basically a rip-off of the mackie pre-vlz 
1604)
as the centre of my guitar/looping system, and have used both the old
version of the Virtualizer and various compressors/limiters (the composer,
the multicom, etc.) for studio work, and I find them really good. I really
like the sound of the Virtualizer (good reverb section and nice choruses 
and
phasers), and I'm getting one of their valve pre-amps, compressors and
parametric equalizers for my studio in the near future. I've tried them and
I find the sound to be really good (great for guitar and vocals, and I've
used one of them on the violin of my fellow musician/dj for some recording
sessions with great results).

Peace
Luigi
