A friend of mine was offered a 4 year old Manley Dual Mono Block Mic Pre with low hours in pristine condition.

What is a fair price for that unit?

I just came across this:

Joemeek announces revolutionary new microphone preamplifier technology.
The "CurrentSense" microphone amplifier.
It's on http://www.joemeek.com

And the Joemeek people say (of course) that it is a brand new way of pre-amplification.

My questions:

In a couple of months, I will begin tracking for a follow-up album that I have been hired to produce/engineer for an independent label. I am a Pro Tools guy (yes), and own a modest studio, with several decent mic preamps, good A/D conversion, etc. These days, I've been mixing inside PT, and it is working well for me.

Has anyone tried the Daking Mic pre/eq? What do you think of it?

Care to discuss?

I have some TLA gear that likes to be 'driven' I have the option on some Neve channels but haven't learned the pro's and con's of it yet.

Who drives their mic preamp's or any other gear for that matter (& reduces the ouput level elsewhere) to get the sound they like?

Helios channels DONT like it at all!

Your thoughts?

Hello everyone,
in the upcoming months ill offically be in the market for a nice mic preamp in the $1000+ range. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of mic preamp's the beatles might have used for their latter recordings ie. white album etc... and are there any similar clones out on the market?
thanks in advance!

I'm not exactally a newbie to recording, but I am fairly new to Music recording. In other words my ears aren't fully qualified. What I'm wondering is what are the differences between the Mic pre's on say, a Yamaha 01v/02R and an API (Neve, Manley, etc.)pre. What should I be listening for, and how do you compare the two (multi-track mixes, single tracks, etc etc)? Thanks in advance.

Anyone out ever heard of or used the pre's they have and api style one 1/2 down page they claI'm is great for around $450. without power. and they will lunchbox em for you. What do you think?

Hi

I use a Yamaha MD8 and the mic preamps are pretty bad. I was looking into mic preamps around the sub $300 price range. I was thinking of getting the Joemeek VC3Q which goes for $200. I'd like opinions of this unit and I'd also like to know if another mic preamp beats the Joemeek in quality in the $200-300 price range.

Thanks

hi all,
