Behringer BCD3000 All in one Audio Converter/Preamp/Mixer
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 10:57 pm
I have been looking around for a while now for a cheap alternative to dj'ing with time coded records. I've looked at all of the options, among the most popular are Serato, Final Scratch, M-Audio Connectiv, more recently, Traktor scratch and Numark, and of course mspinky. All of these options seem to run over 250$ USD. When you figure in a mixer and all of the other components, everything adds up to quite a lot of money. I've got tables, but my mixer recently broke and now I am in the market for a new mixer.
Now, considering I am in the market for both a mixer and a scratch amp, the Behringer bcd3000 seems like a great deal. Not only do you get a decent USB mixer bundled with traktor (I would go for the bcd3000 because the firmware is updated to be compatible with software like traktor), the mixer has a built in 4x4 audio interface with phono preamps, which if I understand correctly, is what all of the scratch amps out there are equipped with.
So, to cut to the chase, I guess I just want to know if someone can confirm that I could use the BCD3000 as a mixer and scratch amp for scratching timecoded vinyl with mspinky or similar software.
