Help with mixer choice

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Behringer mixers are good for the price. Beware, however, that the FX
buss will likely be too noisy for studio use if used as insert rather
than additive. In other words, if you turn the FX return all the way
up, it produces a lot of noise. Otherwise, the mixer is quite quiet.
I'm refering to the 2222FX Pro.

My advice: don't do it. Buy a console you like, THEN get an effects
box. Stay away from the all-in-one units.

Modular is the way to go...

I the F/X unit breaks down, you will have to send the console away to
be repaired. Nice eh?
I like the small soundcraft mixers. Wait a bit, I don't imagine there's
a whole heap of difference between a Phonic desk and a Beheringer.
