So, I wanna make sure that I understand your question:
Do drums sound GREAT on a well-maintained 2" Studer or Ampex?
All other things equal (drummer, kit, tuning, and proper mic placement), YES!!!!! ... |

Make sure that Input channels ONE and TWO have jacks on the rear panel
for "Send/Return" ("insert points"). I can't make the jacks out on the pic you posted, and the Presonus website doesn't list the ... |

| That looks like a pretty good deal on the 166XL. I have a couple of those and they have served me well. The one thing we need to be sure of is that your Firepod has insert jacks on atleast 2 inputs. I ... |

| Well, I do a lot of voice-overs, and have as part of my work for over 20 years. A channel strip with onboard dynamics processing is not merely "bells and whistles", it is a vital tool to get the "oomp ... |

| Try to keep the SPL from exceeding 94 dB. The 'A' weighting is most sensitive above 500 Hz., the 'C' is more uniform, full range. For music, use the 'C'. Unless you have to show it to a cop, then use ... |
