hello ,
i want to get better sound from my setup (home use)

setup:

Behringer B2030a X2
vestax pmc 15mk2
2X pdx 2000 mk2 pro
computer (onboard soundcard)

now all connected to the mixer
2 lines phono
1 line computer ( just to hear music from the computer)

should i buy sound card to get better sound from my computer ?
and how i get better sound from my all setup

thanks!

Behringer is cheap stuff but to get better sound you would need to invest a lot on gear, you can change your drives and start using asio4all just in case your sound card drives are crap.

Most probably you've listened a set from a big star and you think "wow this sounds awesome"

First of all they receive a lot of promo cds in wav format, wav sounds slightly better than an mp3 but don't start buying wavs instead of mp3 because it's pointless.

What they do is filter the master with compressors, limiters, filters and they get that bright sound. They get a bright sound with zero dinamics....

In lieu of making major changes to your gear, I'd look into an external sound card. It'll prob make your sound sound better than an inboard laptop card.

Instead of making all of these know-it-all assumptions about the OP and how they came to the conclusion that they needed "better sound", how about just asking them what they mean by "better sound" and going from there?

And Behringer may be inexpensive, but as I've mentioned before, a lot of their equipment delivers very good bang for the buck.

apart from making the most pointless post so far you just show you are a prick who wants to argue, i could quote yourself on several post ranting about how bad Behringer's sound quality is.

The only piece of Behringer kit I've slighted in these forums is the DDM4000, which the OP does not own.

So again, how about simply asking the OP what they mean by "better sound", rather than typing out a bunch of presumptive uselessness that allows you to continue to bask in the perceived glory of your own words?

what can you suggest apart from improve your gear?¿ i am even receiveing pms about this topic and everybody wants to sound like ASOT, Tiestos Clublife and so on, you can have a 6000$ worth equipment and the best external soundcard and it won't sound the same because of the final tuning of the mixes.

How about just asking the OP what they mean by "better sound"?

analog. sidechain.

better sound means less equipment, if you want the best you have to go with the cheapest

I dont see any SL1210 in your list. thats a must for good sound. analog vinyl sounds better than anything, if you do a search around here ud find out.

analogue > digital
