My X-Touch faders were as loud as a needle printer, when 8 fader move simultaneously.
I have read in some forums that other users had the same problem.
Maybe Behringer installs different faders or has made a revision.
Previously I had the Cakewalk VS-700C that was loud as well - but quieter than the X-Touch.
And the mackie control is also loud.
The fact is: The Avid artist mix is not quiet - the faders are mostly inaudible.
I'm no fan of AVID - I only wanted to have an absolute inaudible controller with SONAR.
