“Many media outlets and ‘influencers’ have decided not to support us anymore”, Behringer claimsMusic tech company Behringer has claimed that a number of media outlets and influencers refuse to support them because it doesn’t pay for advertisements or give out free products to reviewers.
READ MORE: “We don’t pay to play”: Behringer further outlines policies on supplying free gear to reviewers
In a Facebook post published on Sunday, the brand writes, “Many media outlets and ‘influencers’ have decided not to support us anymore, because we don’t pay for ads, don’t provide free products for reviews or they simply don’t like us for whatever reason.”
Behringer does, however, go on to write that this lack of support is not consistent across all media outlets. “In all fairness,” the brand writes, “there are also many other outlets that share our content or review our products in an unbiased and honest manner, because they do what is best for you, the customer. We truly appreciate those people and we’re happy to support and feature them on our channels.”Many media outlets and “influencers” have decided not to support us anymore, because we don’t pay for ads, don’t provide…
Posted by Behringer on Saturday, September 30, 2023The post comes not long after Loopop, a music tech product reviewer, was accused of refusing to review Behringer’s new gear because it wouldn’t send them to him for free.
In a response to a negative take on Behringer’s Toro by a Facebook user, Behringer responded: “Interesting comment. [The Toro] is the fifth best-selling product, not sure this is called a flop.
“I’m sure Starsky [Carr] will be reviewing it as, while Loopop is not reviewing products as we don’t send out free units. [sic]”
Loopop hit back, saying, “Hey Behringer this is Ziv – Loopop, please stop spreading the lie that I stopped reviewing your units because you wouldn’t send me any for free.
“I first reviewed your synths without any contact with you (Model D, Neutron). At that point you offered to send me a few others, which I accepted and disclosed.
“When you made the offensive video about Peter Kirn and started copying affordable products from existing manufacturers with zero innovation (swing), I became disgusted with your corporate culture, which I see now includes spreading lies like you did now.”
Behringer has just started shipping its Mutable Instruments Marbles clone, the Behringer Chaos. In August, the brand’s JT-4000 Micro and the Kobol Expander were also made available officially.

Users can now embed their beats directly in Bandlab posts from Airbit, allowing them to amplify their beats to a broader audience. Additionally, they can now benefit from BandLab Boost to promote their posts to trending feeds, meaning they can better tap into BandLab’s community of over 60 million creators.
“With a unified commitment to amplifying the reach and potential of music creators, this collaboration not only enhances the connection between beat creation, sharing, and promotion but also bridges the gap between sellers and buyers,” BandLab says.
Aside from native embeds on BandLab, Airbit users can now natively “Share to BandLab” any beat on Airbit’s catalogue of over 1 million beats which are available to licence or purchase.
Once this option is clicked, BandLab opens with the beat already embedded in a new post, resulting in a seamless process for producers looking to promote their creations.
As BandLab explains, native embeds are only available on web upon initial release, with mobile compatibility coming in future releases.
Last month, Airbit eliminated marketplace commissions, enhanced its free Basic plan, and made it possible for users to register with and log into Airbit using their BandLab account.
“Our goal has always been to empower creators by providing tools to amplify their voice and vision,” says Meng Ru Kuok, CEO & Co-founder of BandLab Technologies.
“This is just another step in bringing Airbit’s expansive beat marketplace to BandLab’s passionate community and a testament to our dedication to creating a seamless and rich ecosystem for creators worldwide.”
Wasim Khamlichi, CEO & Founder at Airbit, adds, “This is a monumental step for both Airbit and BandLab. Our objective remains clear as we continue to integrate – providing creators a platform where their work gets the spotlight it deserves.”
Airbit, which has over 800,000 users worldwide, has so far seen over 2 million beats sold, with producers collectively earning more than $50 million to date.
BandLab acquired the company earlier this year, in a union that was followed by a successful $25 million Series B1 funding round that raised BandLab’s valuation to $425 million post-money.
