Behringer BCD3000 with Linux via jackd

Introduction

Behringer BCD3000 is a simply and cheap Dj Deck console.

BCD3000

Under Linux it is detected as USB audio interface with MIDI interface. It works prettly well with Linux and is supported (presets are included by default) by Mixxx, free cross-platform digital DJ mixing software. Besides of main function (DJ mixing) it can be used effectively as MIDI controller with DAW (like Renoise) or mixer with possibility to records external instruments (along with Ardour).

Connecting DJ Console

Behringer BCD3000 should be directly connected to USB socket in your computer, without any external hub  - in this way we can provide maximum bandwidth for device. In case of problems with running jackd - you can try connect BCD3000 to another socket.

Starting jackd

We are going to start BCD3000 in duplex mode, as device with 4 output and 4 input channels:

jackd -d alsa -d -P hw:1 -C hw:1 -D

Assuming, that you configured properly your jackd realtime feature.

Configuration of audio connections

Run qjackctl and set proper connection with your application.

qjackctl

if you would like later to reuse your configuration, use patchbay functionality.
