DEQ2496 Software
Mike Dobony
software for remote control of the unit and can't seem to find it at all.
Anybody have a copy they can email me? Remove the "not" from the email
address to send to me. Thanks.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe Behringer ever made such
software for that unit.

come with the latest installed.
I can send the r/c for the DCX2496
Mike Dobony
I was pretty certain I downloaded some software to run the DEQ from a
computer a few years ago when the 2496 first came out. Unfortunately I
have also had 2 major HD crashes since then and lost a lot of information.
The manual says that the unit can be fully controlled through the MIDI
port. How can you do that without a SW interface? The only software
mentioned in the manual is for the onboard interface, not any r/c software.

Generic MIDI continuous/controller hardware or software ?

perhaps one would have done a survey <BEFORE> obtaining a new
apparatus.

Perhaps I should have invented a time machine to have the time to do that.
I need it set up by Thursday. Whether or not I get the software to control
it the DEQ is what I need and barely have the funds for. The only thing
the sw would do for me is make it easier and faster to set up. Once set up
the settings will be saved to memory and not needed again. It is not worth
the extra $800 to get the Driverack 260 just to have software available.
Mike Dobony
Any suggestions for free/inexpensive software?

Well, a real long shot.. Here's a link to the software used to control one
of their other dig. eq's. IF their programmers have any brains, being
that these devices all use the MIDI structure for control, it's possible this
editor may send/recv. the same command structure as the 2496..
One can hope..

It's there under software on the features list, spec sheets, etc.
disclaimer: I have no idea if this will work, not responsible for
any damages, yadda yadda. good luck!
Mike Dobony
The public info sheet looks like the program I had a few years ago, but I
thought it was for the 2496. When I get it I will check it out.

the auto eq is not bad, you do not need software for that either but you
will need a omni mic, preferably a flat response measurement mic like the
behringer ecm8000

I already know that, but as with the sw for the 8042, making adjustments
from a laptop would be much easier and quicker, especially naming the
presets. I would have also purchased the ecm8000, but nobody had any
available until July 5 at the earliest. Nobody seems to have any in stock.
Since I am only using 2 mics, a lapel (Shure omni) for amplification and
recording and a choir mic for recording only (for audience response), I
will have to use the lapel for the RTA and make adjustments from there,
unless I can locate a measurement mic I could borrow, IF I have the time to
call around. I have a lot of maintenance to do before the conference.
Thanks for the rational response.

PS additional benefit of software, backing up the setting to file. Will I
have to redo all my settings if I upgrade the firmware? If so, having a
profile on the computer will quickly get me back up and running.

One can easily copy all the settings to your computer via the MIDI
port. I've done it many times. I believe I'm using an Alesis SysEx
program, same one I used with my QuadraVerb and my Wedge.
I'm sure other SysEx up/down loaders are out there.

IF the lapel mic is the only one our gonna use,and an omni then it
might be well worth a try as RTA mike,

Interestingly, I have a computer running SmaartLive at FoH, I use a
Behringer ecm800 via a Creative USB soundcard.
I tried an Audio Technica tieclip mike directly into the computers
onboard mike input just as an experiment and found that the waveform
produced was remarkably close to that produced by the Behringer over the
usable audio range. It`s not very scientific I know, but the display
gives me a fair idea where the energy is going, I`ve seen people using
the built in mikes on laptops to do the same thing and I would hope that
even the AT lav is better than the average laptop mike.

It depends a bit on the computer, but the mic in a Mac is fairly
suitable for a quick reference.
I've used the eartworks mike in the past along with the USBPRE and
later on an Apogee minime until that one got nicked as well.
now is is an UA25 along with a ecm8000 and i get same results only
cheaper... MUCH cheaper and much less pan when the mike gets nicked.
If i dont want to setup au25 and mic the mic in a macbook pro is fine
for phase response the spectrograpgh and relative frequenty
response, mostly the basic needs on the road.
this all keeping in mind that measuring is ONLY relative to the
performance of measurment equipment used, and in no way a substitute
for using your ears and good taste.....

Springfield, misery, er Missouri. If I get the time, at appropriate hours,
to call around I should be able to drum one up easily. However, I still
have quite a bit of higher priority work to do. I still have plumbing,
electrical, etc., repairs to do before Thursday night. EQing can be done
with the lapel mic and fine tuned by ear rather quickly and easily enough.
Before the next scheduled "standard" use (October) I will be acquiring the
ecm8000 for a more proper tuning.

Hey, have you ever worked on the crew at SWMSU (I think..?)? I worked
for a sound company that came in there in late Feb/early March for a
country music radio station listener appreciation show, usually on a
Sunday afternoon. It's been a few years, though.
Mike Dobony
I located one called MIDI-OP from a ham radio site. Will find out soon how
well it works. It should be in today and I hope to have some time tonight
to check it out. I have to put my mixer back into the box and put the
mounts in before Thursday. I also need to get my hands on the CD recorder
before Thursday morning to check it out. All I know about it is that it
has both RCA and 1/4" jacks.
Mike Dobony
I figure that using it as my reference mic should eliminate the need for
eqing that channel. The record only choir mic (audience response)
shouldn't need much either. If I went the MP3 recorder route I could have
my entire sound system in the box! That comes later. I still need my own
amp first.
Mike Dobony
nope and just moved here last year at the time of the ice storm. Mainly
concentrating on college right now and teaching personal safety. Just
helping out at the church with sound, maintenance, etc. The sound crew
here can mix and that is about all they have the experience/skill to do.

No, that would be the DCX software not the DEQ. You are confused as usual.

Via a midi controller maybe?
Jeez, come on Bony, you boast that you must be right because you claim to
teach sound but then you get simple stuff like this wrong? You even think
SM58s are omnidirectional.

Surely his SM58s are omni ??? ;-)
