Hi, I opened my ddx3216 after several boot errors now and then. I gently removed the glue from the larger PSU socket cables on main board on bottom plate under main fader and checked the voltage with a multimeter. I showed the right values according to the printed values on the board. I then removed the glue and pulled off the socket on the larger PSU cables. One by one I pulled the socket up and down a few times before firmly put them back. I have read that these power socket cables or the PSU unit are known to cause boot errors. that's why I measured the voltage as a first test.I'll be back if this won't solve my problems. /jocks

To me the main problem with the Behringer DDX3216 is that Behringer somehow has sophisticated the art of making things that don't last. Indeed it is a bargain based own a price/feature ratio, but from my own experince having owned two of these units, the inside of the machine is made of components of which at least one will malfunction within 1/2 a year to 2 years if you use it dayly. And don't expect the first unit you will recieve to work properly. If this is acceptable to you, go buy it. Personally I like things that work well for a long time with a minimum of maintenance, so I'm neither going to have my now second defect unit repaired nor replaced. I do think there is a reason why Behringer can make things so incredibly cheap.

I hate this desk - Behringer DDX3216. It's been nothing but trouble since day 1. The first one was DOA and the second has such terrible fan noise, it's embarrassing to have clients around. Bad converters (to the guy from Guitar Centre - are you deaf?) cheapy construction. If it looks too good to be true - it is too good to be true. In the end I bought some active JBL monitors (with remote control) and RME Fireface 800 soundcard. I don't have a desk anymore. Don't need one. Berhinringer DDX3216 just sits there. I might set fire to it for fun. Fire wood has more value.

The feature-per-buck rate is unparalleled. I use the DDX mainly for doing live gigs with a rock-band of 5. For larger gigs with, say, 8 mics for the drums there are not enough mic-inputs; but of course I knew that before I bought it. For all but the larger gigs I have every thing I need in one compact box: parametric EQ, compressors, EQ for the FOH sum, EQ for every single monitor, FX that I find are good enough for live sound.
What I like is the possibility to do 'new york' compression with the second fader layer working as a copy of the first.
I would like to see some button for tapping the song tempo, adjusting the delays.
The only drawback is a nasty drop-out on all outputs now and then. I cannot re-produce it if I want. Somehow I feel maybe it has to do with compressor use, but I'm not shure.
After having the mixer sent back, Behringer support said they couldn't find any malfunction :-(. However, the dropouts are still there, I'd say every 4th running hour on average. Very frustrating.
A couple of days ago I used a Yamaha 01V96 for the same live situation. I had trouble accommodating to it, because it uses the faders not only for volume on input channels and so on, but also for FX sends and AUX sends. The DDX uses extra potis for that (the 01V does not have these).
After all. I have heard better sounding boards (in the analogue domain), but again, this mixer is really good considering the price of under 1kU$.

Can't give it a 10, only because I've had it for one week, and haven't used it on the road yet.
I Can't rate it any lower than a 9 because of the following.
I hate the "CAN'T" do stuff posts I keep reading.
Aside from all of the things the DDX "CAN" do.
The fact that a guy named David Mellor rates the DDX3216 @ 100% in comparrison to Tascam DM3200 @ 91% and Yamaha 01V96 V2 @ 83% http://www.record-producer.com/index.cfm?cid=10
The fact that after one week, I've been able to make the DDX do the things I've read that it "CAN'T" do (Post Fader Metering, Send Effects to the 4 AUX outs) http://singoutkaraoke.com/DDX3216/DDX3216.htm
And the fact that I was able to purchace the DDX new for $650 and the ADAT module for $99 in comparrison to $2,200 for an 01V and $430 for it's ADAT module
