            Seems that is a very common problem with the Behringers. I have one
    unit myself and it has very slight bleeding - no problem if you just mix
    for your own amusement or even for club gigs, but if you make tapes and
    listen to them with headphones, the bleeding can annoy a bit in silent
    parts. Some units have had much worse problems with the bleeding..
            But anyway, I think the Behringer DX-500 is a great mixer in its price
    range, although the interface is not as good as it could be. Probably
    someone's figured out a hack to work around that channel bleeding
    problem, any info is appreciated if someone knows of such hacks. The
    problem is that it isn't the typical "crossfader bleeding" type of
    problem which could be countered by not using the crossfader and only
    the individual channel faders, but the signal bleeds from channel 2 to
    channel 3 directly. If you only use two turntables/CD players you could
    use such a setup that the players were connected to channels 1 and 3,
    but then what would be the point of owning a 3-channel mixer?
