Hello group.

[Pujo]

Hello gang,
Name here is PuJo. I am in Louisiana.
The reason I have joined this group is to learn more about the equipment that we use to get that great audio we all like.

If you look at my profile, it will show you all the items that I have and have no idea what to do with them. It was a purchase that I made from an individual that has passed away, and it was all or nothing. SO, if any of you know how to connect all these things, please fell free to help in any way that you feel.

Great site, keep up the good work.

PuJo

Welcome to the Shack, PuJo! I'm not too familiar with Behringer equipment, but I'm sure someone here will help you out.

Well, what he has there is home recording equipment. Not sure what you'd do with it in a home theater setting.

But, as a home recorder/podcaster, I'm jealous. Do you have a home recording hobby?

Hi PuJo and welcome to the Shack!

I sensed you might have been from Cajun territory... glad to have ya here.

[Pujo]

Yep, I am from Cajun country.
I would like to make it a recording hobby, but I have no clue where to start.
I know this site is for Home Theater, but maybe I could get a better understanding of what all this junk does here. I will not get into home recording on this site. I respect the owner of this site, and what he/she is doing. By the way, I am also a Christian. and a Youth Pastor.

So, anyone dare to even try and explain what all these items are for?

OH, Yes, I have been playing the guitar all my life, but never recorded anything, so all this junk almost means nothing to me. That's why I am here, just trying to learn.

Hello PuJo,... Welcome to the Shack. I'd suggest you post your questions about your Behringer equipment in the Shack's Audio Production forum. I'm sure you can get some answers there

Okay, here we go...

Behringer Eurorack UB2442FX-Pro
-Standard Mixer, full featured, used for combining a mulititude of signals into single stereo pairs. For instance, you want 2 mics, a guitar, and a fiddle to come out of two speakers, with some panned a little left and others panned a little right, this is your guy.

Behringer Ultra-Curve Pro DEQ2496
-Highly programable EQ. Use it for taking out specific problem frequencies, such as room resonances, or for shaping over all tone. Also includes a Real Time Analyzer: hook up a mic, and it will show you what frequencies of sound the mic is receiving. This particular model is most popularly used for "tuning the room" in a live performance.


Behringer Ultra-Q Pro PEQ2200
-Parametric EQ, simple design, well suited for instrument eqing

Behringer Composer Pro MDX2200
-Expander gate comp limiter. 4 devices in one. You should do a google search on those terms, but basically, you put this behind a mic or instrument, and use it to make everything behave, no souds too loud, no sounds too soft.

Behringer UltraFex Pro EX3200 (x2)
-Juices the low and high-end, and works voodoo to make your stereo seperation sound wider (phase tricks, most likely)

Behringer Virtualizer Pro DSP2024P
-Multi effects, add reverb, chorus, delay.

Behringer Tube Ultragain T1953
-Mic Pre with tube section for voodoo.

Behringer Tube Composer T1952
-Comp/limiter with Tube voodoo

Behringer Amplifier 1500 watt
-an Amplifier. The juice the speakers need to make noise.

Mind if I ask what you paid for everything?

[Pujo]

Well,
The package cost was cheap. Only a few hundred bucks.
But it was all or none. It is in a roll around cabinet.
It looks good!!!

[eugovector]

A few hundred bucks. Assuming everything's in good condition, you got a steal. I'd part out some of what you won't use to ebay, and start building up a home recording studio.

I'd keep the mixer, the ultra-curve, and the amplifier. Maybe the tube ultragain if you want to play around with vocal color, and the tube composer if you want to make quick and dirty recordings that sound good without mastering (both of those units have simple controls, and look cool.) Sell the rest, buy a nice computer, and do you effects/mastering in software.
