Hey,
Anyone have any regrets on studio equipment bought?
Ever bought something you've sold the next day and thought "not buying that crap again!" ?
(Feel free to mention Behringer equipment, just don't talk about "Behringer " itself being crap or not, thats not the point of the excersise)

the presonus digimax i bought comes to mind. $1500 bucks new. I found out the hard way that its operational noise when I increased the gain past half way on the pres was unaccpetable.
I then sold the presonus and purchased, the mackie onyx 800r which is very very quiet and IMO has much better pres and features than the presonus digimax.

I bought an Edirol MIDI controller that I had persistant problems with, which I didn't discover the nature of until after the return period had expired. Turns out it isn't compatable with a chipset in my computer. After weeks of tweaking buffer settings, updating drivers, bothering all my friends who know MIDI really well and stumping all of them, I got the box out one day and there in 4 point type on the corner of the box it says: "Not compatable with VIA chipset". Fortunately it wasn't expensive and I never registered it. Anyone looking for a controller?

Poprocks, you've just reminded me of another! I didnt realise I had so much rubbish. Sennheisser Cordless headphones. I thought these would be soooo handy whilst I was tracking. No thug of the headphone cable every few seconds, unfortunately they hiss and crackle and work intermittently near my audio gear.
Absolute rubbish, waste of money

I bought an E-mu 0404 a couple of days ago.
I didn't really need it, but was curious what the Patchmix DSP and PowerFX were all about.
And I found out...
HA! HA! HA! HA! :lol: :P
If you need some entertainment, you can join in with the ongoing, absolutely hilarious saga of these E-mu products over at the Unofficial E-mu Forums:

This is not a spam!
It was the ONLY place I could find on the Net to find out what is really going on with this gear and how to fix my installation problems. This may help others on this forum.
So if you are running E-mu gear and are thrilled or ready to commit suicide, that is the place to praise it or damn it to Hell.
