jaytranzmit Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi guys, looking at buying both these units to use with Logic. I've been told the BCF2000 imitates the Mackie control but also read mixed reviews. Any comments from users would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I don't know about those specific units but I bought a BCA2000 which was brought out at the same sort of time as those other units, and my advice would be to steer clear!!! Behringer were useless for drivers and ultimately gave up and discontinued it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytranzmit Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with the BCA. I know the BCF2000 mimics the Mackie control surface so it should just work, or so I've been told haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagate Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The BCF does work just fine without drivers, search the board for an depth post on how to set it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlayne22 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well Ive only used them in-store, but Daft Punk used them on their latest tour to control Live 6. Can't be all that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amundsen Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The BCF has a Logic Control emulation mode which is just fine for Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpye Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 As far as build quality goes are these things utter cr*p or are they usably good? I'm thinking about a control surface, but dont know if going for a Mackie (second hand universal probably) is too much, when these are so stupidly cheap. I've the non-touch sensitive faders make automation a pain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpye Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Anyone care to comment on the build quality of these units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Lithium Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 My BCF-2000 was working great for it's purpose. Unfortunately one day I programmed a wrong button while in Logic Control mode. It ended rewiring the rotary knob to the Fader vice versa. The fader works now as a Pan function and you can guess what the rotary knob does.

Kouly Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The build quality is decent. It is not a bad piece of equipment. The fact that it does not have a direct effect on your sound is a good thing considering this company's reputation for sound quality . They are just controllers, nothing else. At this they do a good job. Of course this has to do with the fact that you are using the MCU protocol and the BCF is just taking directions from that. So you are getting an generic MCU (albeit with no screen and no touch sensitivity) and saving a bunch of money. Is it worth it, I think so. The unit is cheap enough that it is a good step in learning a MCU without having to shell out the cash until you are ready. Here is the link where I lay out the steps to setting it up as a controller for Logic. http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=16210#16210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
