I did a very stupid thing with my PreSonus FP10. I was getting low recording levels on the drums, so I've changed a mic cable on one of the mic inputs from XLR-1/4 to XLR-XLR to check if the recording levels would improve. Of course I was stupid enough to keep the gain level on this channel almost to the max.

Hi. Just wondering, I saw this in another thread:

{old-link-removed}

This guy said this:

"I doubt you'll ever get a better A/D converter than what's in the API. It's about as good as they get.

Just a thought.

J"

Does that mean I don't need d/a converters when running mics through, say, an API 3124?

What can you guys recommend for a person on my budget...I am in need of a compressor for vocals, will probably use on acoustic and electric guitars too though into my Pro Tools system. Also in need of a preamp at least on channel 2 would be good but not required...ive seen some decently priced dbx, and a Behringer tube comp..and maybe a ART pre?my budget:

I have a PreSonus Firepod (or FP10 as they are known now). I would like to find several options for a noticable upgrade over the PreSonus preamps. I would like to mention that for the price the PreSonus preamps sound very good. In order to use the PreSonus as the audio interface to the computer I will need a preamp that has digital outputs (S/PDIF) so I can bypass the PreSonus preamps.

i have a problem whith how to use a mic preamp when you have an audio enterface.

any help?

Hey I'm looking into getting a mic preamp / compressor (or channel strip) and I'm looking for some thoughts on the following gear.

To make things short, I'm building somewhat of a monster of a home studio. I've been trying to ferret out the best preamp selections possible for my price range, and heres what I've come up with.

I'm looking for about 24 channels of preamps, budget is about $25k

Hi there

Before I say anything else, I would like to point out that I searched but couldn't find anything useful with regard to specific gear I'm about to refer to here in relation to their comparison.

Just reading about this guy. Anyone have comments they can share?

Thanks

I'm not sure it's OK to post this, and I usually post in the "pro video" forum here.
