Behringer Xenyx X2442 USB

I've had this desk for home recording now for over 3 years. You would be hard pressed to find a similar priced mixer with this many features? Overall the sound and usability are superb and it has served me well. The only problem is the left meter stopped working out of warranty but that's OK because I use the DAW meters anyway. Problem with getting a small thing like that fixed is it's like a sleeping dog and you can be sure the tech will make something else worse that you'll have resend it back? (Call me cynical but I'm many times once bitten twice shy, sometimes it's worth it just to put up with such problems that are not critical) Although I find it great for my purpose It just sits there so I have no idea how well it would fair on the road, not well I'd say?

You get a lot of inputs for your money and the digital effects are quite nice. I had no end of trouble with the device over USB though, all glitchy and stopping responding. The "ultra low latency" ASIO drivers that Behringer still advertise have been removed from the website in addition to the WDM drivers which you still need as far as I'm aware when using the asio4all which they now recommend and is the only driver download on their site. This is not acceptable. Also bear in mind you only get stereo out from the desk over USB, not separate channels, also if you are using a daw and trying to record a mixture of inputs to the desk plus output from your pc you have to make a choice between the pc output being recorded or being monitored over the monitors plugged into the desk, not both, based on whether you press a certain button or not.
