yup another one of those 'what preamp shall i buy' topics..
But my question is subtly different..
I have a Focusrite platinum voicemaster right now, i use the eq normally, then run through a urei1178 ..With a condenser I'm getting pretty nice vocal sounds, and my dynamic guitar sound is fairly o.k.
BUT. .I have just bought a Shure SM7B dynamic mic, for rock vocals
(hey, if brendan o'brien uses one, who am i to not use one), and the platinum preamp just isn't good enough for a killer dynamic vocal sound, I've heard preamps (the ones in seeport broadcast mixers for example, and to a lesser extent the modern ams-Neve ones) that make dynamic mics sound almost like condensers...
Anyway...question is...has anyone of you had experience getting nice dynamic vocal sounds with stand alone preamps?
i'm looking at the sort of affordable ones, like the vintech, grace, summit,and little river..(theçheaper ones)
Any experience i'll be happy to hear..
thanx a bunch.
