Hey guys,
Currently using Mackie xdr preamps , wondering if it would be worthwhile upgrading to the joemeek vc-1q to improve the quality. Will be mainly used for vocals and occasional bass.
Thanks,

Toti

I use a Mackie for tracking but have a number of other preamps at my disposal. I think it is always a good idea to collect some preamps for various uses. I never use my Mackie for vocals, lately I have been using a vintage Altec 1567a, but have used Langevin, Neve and others. You will immediately notice the difference.

I own a Mackie 24-8, I own a Joe Meek VC1Q (along with lots of other pre's).... I use the Meek regularly, I only use the Mackie pre's if I run out, which is almost never...however the Meek doesn't "bury" the Mackie, more of a slightly sideways-upward move, definitely sounds different, as in not quite as "clean", which is a good thing (usually).

Best of luck,

BW
