Feature:
Excellent features, AMAZING for the money, absolutely nothing else comes close. HOWEVER, I'd love to see a jog dial and the built-in led is something I'm simply ignoring except for the most basic startup settings. It does have a great on-screen display that runs in windows though, a free download from behringer, and that makes up for the tiny led display. faders are long (10 cm), slightly rough movement but very controllable, pots are great, buttons are, well, buttons, they work fine.

Quality:
I guess it's pretty good. Haven't had any problems so far with the hardware. I have had some windows conflicts with the behringer usb driver blue-screening on me (and that's the latest version 1.1.1.1 which is supposed to fix that). However I'm working with their tech support team currently to solve the problem and we're getting it worked out.

Value:
well it's unbelievable really. I never dreamed I'd be able to have a motorized control surface for less than $800 canadian, but I got this for less than half of that. How can you go wrong?

Desirability:
moving faders, pro looking hardware, flying leds, only use your mouse for really specific tasks (or for plugins when using sonar 4 cuz the mackie support in sonar is lacking somewhat at this time). It rocks. It's sexy. My wife went WOW, and I thought she'd say "take it back" LoL.

Sound:
Well it doesn't really make sound except for the motors that move the sliders, but I'm rating the sound quality based on how improved my audio editing experience has been since I purchased and learned the bcf2000.

Support:
Very good support so far. I had the problem described above and emailed them, heard back in 2 or 3 days (which is somewhat slow) and the guy was obviously a techie type who I've found to be a very knowledgable and intelligent person with good advice. They're taking their time to not only help me with my problem but to learn from my problem so they can help other users in the future. I'm impressed. Very good service all-in-all. I've heard of much worse service from other companies, although your mileage may vary.

Overall:
Just get it. Why use a mouse? Mix like a pro.

Feature:
I havent owned a mixer controller before but from what I heard and the price of it I wasnt expecting too too much. the outcome however BLEW MY MIND. Features are great as well. BTW this work GREAT with FL studio and Pro tools le.

Quality:
I dont know about other controllers like this, but I still can't believe the quality for the price! 200 dollars and you get full control of you software's mixer PLUS motorized faders which I believe are a Must.

Value:
Very Valuable to me because it makes my job ALOT easier!!!

Desirability:
I got it...

Sound:
No Sound But it controls the sound just fine.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Kind of hard to get everything set up within the daws but that's because the manual didnt say anything about that really. so I relied on Youtube lol.

Support:
manual wasnt that great. But on the other hand I never did call the helplines because I figured it out on my own.

Overall:
I'm very satisfied with this product. I don't see myself getting something else for a while.

Feature:
great features - only flaw is that it doesn't have touch sensitive faders. Makes re-recording of automation data difficult to impossible, at least what I've found so far. but otherwise great!

Quality:
very very good, but I wish the faders were a little smoother. a bit on the rough side.

Value:
no comparison, best value of all motorized control surfaces. it's a baby hui, logic control, mackie control and customizeable device all in one.

Desirability:
well it's just too cool isn't it?? moving faders!?

Sound:
just amazing what this did for my life. I run a small studio and use 3 of these chained together to control 24 tracks in real time. I spent $1227 CAD in total. Try THAT with the major studio gear of the past!

Support:
great - had very good help from behringer through email.

Overall:
please try these things out. make sure you read the 1.07 OS manual (freely downloadable from their website) to learn the emulation stuff, and if you use a mackie mode then read the docs in your OWN DAW software for that control surface since mackie didn't write their own docs (they rely on 3rd parties like cakewalk, steinberg, etc).

Feature:
emulates baby hui and mackie, as well as allowing customized programming??? better than all other control surfaces in my opinion because of this. I can run ANYTHING with it, even pro tools.

Quality:
perfect I guess. nothing's wrong with the build of my unit. Great stuff. dropped it even and it keeps on working. Don't recommend dropping any control surface or mixer though, just for the record.

Value:
simply blows away the competition for versatility and compatibility and price (like less than half the price).

Desirability:
it's soooo sexy, flying motorized faders, flashing red leds all over the place. Very kewl, very professional too.

Sound:
just amazing, my recordings are so much better now thanks to the ease of use from the bcf2000. I can concentrate on making music finally.

Support:
they've helped me get setup, helped me through a blue screen problem (which turned out to be sonar related), quick response, excellent english, technically smart yet talking to me in language I can understand.

Overall:
just get one, or two. the more the better of these things (they link up)

Feature:
Has everything that you need to control programs such as sonar 4.0, cubase, etc.

Quality:
just because it's not a heavy piece of equipment and the sliders are not made of fake metal like material like the protools and mackie systems doesn't mean it is not of good quality. It does all that any other 1000 controller with ease.

Value:
I'm very picky and this is by far the best for the price piece of equipment I have ever purchased. I was skeptical at first since it is only $200, but i love this piece.

Sound:
No Sound

Support:
not sure, haven't had any problems.

Feature:
The features of the BCF2000 is basicly unlimited its fully mapable and can be used under Mackie Control Universal mode, you can even daisy chain them together to have 16,22 ect. ect. faders. Behringer has an app out that gives you a virtual LCD screen that gives you all the info

Quality:
it is real durable

Value:
this is about the only midi control surface that has moving faders for such a low price. and the possibilitys are endless with 2 or more of these, you could even thro in a BCR and it is priced WAY WAY WAY lower than the Mackie Control,,the only thing missing is a jog wheel

Desirability:
well....i dont know about sex appeal but it does look nice, I have the white one in my studio

Sound:
well it dosn't really make a sound because its only a midi controller but the faders make some noise when they move

Ease of Use:
real easy to set up, if not just go to youtube

Support:
Havn't had any problems

Overall:
its amazing

Feature:
It has the volume faders for mixing, you can Pan and Solo and Mute on it as well! Mine is connected to Pro Tools 8! Great product!

Quality:
Its kind of light, not to much weight to it. But everything feels sturdy on it and good quality. I read somebody dropped theres and it still worked great! (PS dont drop yours lol)

Value:
Definitely worth the selling price! Its worth every penny! Its so nice to have faders in front of you for mixing instead of a mouse! I recommend it to anyone! (Motorized faders are wonderful, they fly in to place where left off in your last session!

Desirability:
Nice blue color or white you can get both!

Sound:
Not to much noise to a fader, ya the motorized faders create noise but not much!

Ease of Use:
Easy setup, this products installation varys one what your trying to use it with! Cubase was a lil complicated to setup with, but Pro Tools was a breeze! Contact me if you need to no how!

Support:
Havent had to use any support, so i geuss its good! :-D

Overall:
Overall this product is DEFINITELY worth it! Its great for hand on mixing! Works well, and is built well! Motorized faders are amazing! If you cant afford a rediculous priced mixer definitely get this! its only lacking a couple features that the others have! It does all the essentials youd want it to! (Volume, Pan, Solo, Mute) and im sure it can be programmed to do more! GO GET IT!

Feature:
8 faders, 8 nobs, a handfull of buttons. What more could you ask for? Oh, and if you're in an emulation mode there's a layer or two of shift buttons to increase the functionality of that handful of buttons.

Quality:
Seems rugged enough to me. The fit and finish was perfectly fine on the model I got. No blemishes or loose anything. It's made of plastic (like everything these days) so I trust it as much as I trust plastic. If it was made of steel/hardwood and had a perfect tension ratio when I moved the faders I'd give it a higher rating. For keyboard players, it's like the difference between an inexpensive midi controller and one with weighted keys. You pay a lot for weighted keys. I don't know if competing products have a more satisfying resistance on the faders or not though. I give it a 7 but this product is totally in line with it's price and I am not worried about it breaking anytime soon.

Value:
I could buy two of these for the price of one Logic Control. Given the lack of decent documentation I wouldn't pay any more for the BCF2000. But I'm very satisfies with my purchase.

Desirability:
It's par for the course in looking cool. There is no aesthetic value in this piece of hardware. It's not sexy, but it isn't ugly. I wish that it was built in such a way that I could tear it down and mount it in one of my rolling rackunits. Then it would look sexy. This thing is a practical device that lacks the beauty of a truly austere industrial design but also avoids the gross "alienware" style stupid flourishes of modern plastics design.

Sound:
Not really applicable, this is a midi control surface. The faders are a little noisy, but your audio application will probably have a "mute" feature for the faders because all motorized faders make a little noise. Might be a cool feature to add into the unit for a future revision though, a hardware button that "mutes" the faders moving. Heavy UI thinking would be needed though. Anyway, I digress, the main point is that this thing loses 2 points for making sound at all (but you don't buy this thing for the sound).

Ease of Use:
The documentation is very very foul. But that's par for the course with Behringer. You're buying a relatively inexpensive, feature-laden product. They save their money buy leveraging the global economy and not hiring anyone to make readable/actionable documentation. The web is your best source for how to use this thing.

Support:
Documentation is useless, might as well put in the the WC for better use. It probably makes sense to an engineer somewhere. With Behringer, you save money on product but lose time in learning how to use the stuff. The good old time/money quandary. There is no free lunch. I've never used support for Behringer because I assume, based on the quality of the manual, that it would drive me insane to speak to anyone from the company.

Overall:
I will be satisfied with this product until I have a larger studio setup (currently I'm sort of 8-channel-centric with a Firepod into Logic Express, so everything is in banks of 8 with me). At some point maybe I'll get bigger but I doubt it. Maybe I'll get a windfall of cash and try out the Logic Control and find it so much better suited that I buy it. But I doubt it. This device is going to work, just like all the other Behringer stuff I've had. It's sort of the Wal-Mart effect (and yeah, I don't shop there much either so bear with me). Every time I go to Wal-Mart I never find what I actually want, but I find something that's really close and at a price I can afford. Then that object sits around my house reminding me of Wal-Mart until I can't stand it and go buy the real thing. The only difference is at least the Behringer stuff provides me with tools to keep doing what I want in the meanwhile.

Feature:
It's great, push button rotary knobs paired with faders for $180. It's hard to ask for more, but I wouldn't mind another row of buttons to toggle recording on/off. Emulation is 100% awesome, Throw it in BabyHUI and my ProTools6.7 rig works flawlessly

Quality:
It's behringer, It won't last forever, the rotary's are a little cheap and so are the faders but so is the product.

Value:
Worth every single penny

Desirability:
There's nothing sexier than faders that move by themselves

Sound:
N/A but it helps me make my sound a 10

Ease of Use:
The documentation is worthless, use'd google to get what I needed, the website's driver download was misleading, but once it's setup it's as easy as moving a fader.

Support:
Haven't had to, but, I have heard that they are good.

Overall:
Nothing even near it's price can compete

Feature:
8 faders, 8 knobs, assignable buttons, all u need for good work.

Quality:
sturdy products, good full size motorized faders, nice knobs with leds... Very nice indeed for the price...

Value:
Best controler for the price, motorized faders looks and feel so cool!!

Desirability:
I have it, and its working perfectly over the years...

Sound:
This is a midi controller so there is no sound, except the faders moving! :D

Ease of Use:
I had trouble with my mac to get it started with logic 7, but then i founded in a forum that i need a firmware to get a simulation of logic control, and then it works flawlessly!

Support:
I had luck that i founded good forum to ask what to do. Behringer is not so good with their support.

Overall:
Best controller for the price, ill buy another one cause i can link them both and have 16 faders. Really nice!
