yeah but it was $20 bucks for a Chinese Neve console . .
I can live with a few buzzes and pops for that.
'coz it's a Neve. For $20 bucks
wait
it stopped working altogether. I think it was all that lead that leaked from under the bottom and what killed my cat.

I certainly don't blame the average Chinese citizens for any of this. They are hard working honest people. I'm not sure what's going on but I do know I don't buy any food imported from China.
I bought a bag of "pure, all natural" dehydrated chicken breasts for my dogs for a treat; purchased at a well respected all natural pet food store. The ingredients list said, "chicken breast," nothing more. My dogs are use to chicken. I cook them chicken all of the time. So chicken, in itself, should never upset my dogs. For some reason, my dogs got very sick, diarrhea for a week; vomitting. I looked on the bag and it said "imported from China." Some chemical I presume used in the dehydration process? Or was it some chemical given to the chickens to make them fatten up? Dont' know, never will but it was alarming to me. Now I am very leary about where things are imported from; different standards of quality.

My Behringer PA has been a workhorse.
it gets used 3 days a week for the past 3 years , no problems at all yet.
I had more problems with my Allen and Heath board and my little Mackie than I've had with it.

Mackie stuff, btw, sucks too (IMHO, and I can't be sued for having one and expressing it as such, which is what I'm doing).
If you know what a surface-mount component is, then you are familiar with the vulgarities that accompany the sight of them, especially in a pro product. Consumer DVD player selling for $30, ok...I would expect that. Pro product with hundreds and hundreds of 1/10 inch components pasted onto one gargantuan circuit board and then wave soldered? No, thank you. Is it possible to service such a thing? Yes. Does any tech in existence welcome the experience? Hell, no. Ever try to simply replace a bad pot (control) on such a thing? It's ridiculous.
But, it's the way of the world. All electronics is heading this way. Throw-away products. Thank God I will be deceased before they are ALL this way. There're enough 50 year old Fender amps to keep me going till I croak. A 50 year old Mackie or Behringer? Not going to happen.Highly fortuitous to hit 10 year old and functional or at all repairable.

dude, I own 3 hand wired amps, I LOVE them, but fuck.
I had a matchless chieftan, I payed 1200 for it new..
Now that amp is almost four grand.
Paul Reed Smith wants $3500 for his every day guitars, $6000 for a nice one.
Gibson wont make anything worth a shit for less than $3000. Their archtops are PLYWOOD, and they want $4000 to start.
I'd love to have $10,000 mixer, but thats almost half a years income for me.
The problem is that the ordinary guys standard of living and income hasn't nearly kept pace with the cost of american handmade merch.
Heritage guitars are the last reasonable truly high quality American Instrument.
I love supporting american craftsman, but how the fuck can I pay 1/4 of a years income for a guitar that is made in 3 or 4 days?
It's fucking insane.

..hence the vulgarity of the homegrown indie crap manufactured in home studios.
you can't buy an Otari analog for your whole years income, and that is the way it should be.
disposable diaper generation
i gave away a 24 channell 8 bus mackie because i didn't want to service the noisy pots, btw
i can hear that signature behringer smashing flattened sign wave audio slaughterer horse feather fuck shit
hate it

well, a beringer PA has nothing to do with recording, it's a working PA.
a couple vocal mics and 4 drum mics.
It sounds great for gigs in small rooms, it's stupid to but any more because any larger venue has house sound.
really, I dont think we're talking about home rcording here.
I spoend the money to go to the studio for drum recording and mixing and especially the final sum. The studio I use actually uses a DANGEROUS 2 BUS summing amp, the studio doesn't even have a very good Console, it's an allen and heath. But the final sum is as good as any Nieve or SSL and it's a fraction of the cost, a Tiny fraction actually.
But for a working band playing small venues these affordable PAs are awesome!
