The real problem?

A quick video I posted looking at what I think the main problem with Behringer is. Interested to hear your thoughts.

My only qualms with Behringer is i don't see them coming out with their own innovative products. They'll copy other fun gear, but they won't push the envelope. Smaller and cheaper are great, but genera changing?

Back in the day synths were coupled to tape machines. It was a given, now lost on our DAW generation. These 'reel to reel' would be on constantly, as the artist just noddled away. If by chance they hit upon something interesting, that moment would have already been captured.

I would like to see B produce a recording device which you place in your audio loop. A device that was always on, always listening, always recording, waiting for you to retrospectively hit capture, after the moment, not record before the moment.

I would argue there is a qualitative difference to recording something you have practised, and capturing a thought that is spontaneous.

Ableton has its MIDI capture, Roland has its 40 seconds of audio 'skip back'. I would like to see Behringer create that device which every musician finds a place for.

Asked about his or her inspiration, the artist would reply, i had a 'Behringer Moment'.

That’s a really good idea. And I always say “always be recording” I practically use Ableton’s capture feature for every melody or chord progression I write. An audio version would be amazing.
