Play digital music as if it were vinyl with Behringer
While electronic music production relies more and more on software-based sequencers, there is a need for hardware controllers. Hardware is not dead -it has just evolved along with music programs. With the new Behringer BCD 300 you can play and mix any audio file as if you had a regular -though minimized- DJ mixer and decks. You get a mixer, effects, preamp mic/phono and a monitor section which integrates itself very well with NI Traktor 3, the included software. It works well with other Windows and Mac music software.
Features:
MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, WAV and AIFF
- Traktor 3, podcasting and recording software.
- 4 channels
- USB connection
- Mixer
- Effects
- Monitor outputs
- 3 band EQ
- Play, cue, loop, pitch bend and effects buttons.
Price: 299 dollars
Since we can’t find any demonstration video of this very model in You Tube, we want to show you a video of the previous model, BCD 2000, which is similar and will give you an idea about how it works ; )

hi,
working with hardware is as i think much more amazing than software audio mixing due to alot of reasons like style and looks , as you mentioned it feels like you are working a DJ but it costs alot less..
also i dont think that you can generate by software what you can create by hardware ..
maybe i am an old fashoned man but i sure love the keys of a piano and the buttons of mixers..
thanks
