Hi,
I'm thinking of buying the Behringer BCF2000, I've looked at a couple of threads regarding the BCF2000 and Sonar,
also looked at some you tube videos, it seems to be ok with Sonar, the only thing I've noticed is the faders seem
a bit jumpy or sticky, is this the case ?
I know a lot of you have the BCF 2000, are you folks happy with it ?  I know it's not the most expensive bit of kit
but I also don't want to waste my money !!
 
Thanks
John

Well I see you have the V Studio 20. Is that not working for your control needs?
With the BCF you will have some additional control over Sonar, but at an additional cost.
What are you hoping to gain with the BCF 2000? This could be the answer to your question.

           As you said I hoped to have a little more control, also the motorised faders, seem like a good feature

I now use a MCU & XT. I use to use a BCF in Mackie mode - I still have it as an ACT controller. IMHO there is no better value controller than the BCF. It's superb for the money.

Well for controlling volume, pans and having nice long throw faders for track mixing, I have to say it's great.
Single button track select, mute , solo, record are all very easy. Go from track faders to buss faders with just a couple button presses. It is a bit figity but I can control most vst effects. I am sure you will like it, I asked my question to be sure what you were looking for it to do for you, past what the VS 20 does.

I was looking to expand some of the functionality of the Mackie mode when I got my bcf2000 a month ago but the basic workings as described above are more than enough.  I found it was faster to just tweak/automate vst effects myself but the bcf2000 really makes mixing automation way easier for me.

Other than the motorized faders,  What are the advantages over the VS 20?

Karl,


I'm looking at a picture of the BCF on the Sweetwater site, and I can't see any dedicated transport controls.
I'm wondering how you access these buttons on the device, and whether it poses any inconvenience. 

Also, assuming I don't care about motorized/touch sensitive faders,  I'm curious about what advantages the MCU has over the BCF.


Thanks,
Jonathan

i have one on the shelf .
the faders are ok but its not very helpful to have to switch modes.
 and such its more work i found .

Haredware controller? Thats so old fashion..
Why not just use a touchscreen, windows 8 a nd sonar x2...lol
