Behringer BCD 300 – Windows 8 :( help guys!

Any chance you can throw Win7 on it for this one gig? So you have time to sort it out later? You could even do that by making your laptop dual-boot so you don’t have to undo your current setup.

I’d ditch the BCD 3000

Based on my experience of one back before I invested in my Allen&Heath 4D back in 2008, the build quality is rubbish. One of the jogs (left I think it was) was grinding upon usage.

plus the fact it isnt a proper full soundcard in it… all it does is use the internal mixer of the sofatware you use on the computer.

It consumes more computer CPU than an external mixer based controller.

Have you got a tablet that you can use as a controller using TouchOSC?
although that would need an external soundcard.

might be better if you can to look at hiring or borrowing some hardware from someone / somewhere?

till you can make an investment in something that is better.
unless you make a quick purchase, but taking the time to consider the options is best.

The BCD3000 certainly isn’t top of the line, but it does the job. I’ve used mine several times for parties and it worked well, but I always fed it’s output into my Numark 1175 so I have room to move volume wise if I have to.

For the Windows 8 issue try setting the the driver installer to “run as administrator” and see if that helps.
