how to bypass soundcard preamps ?

Hi everyone i m writing after a long time again. i have simple home recording setup i.e sm58, konnekt 8 and a windows based pc.
my question is if i want to by pass the preamps of konnekt 8 and buy a better microphone preamp like a blue robbie preamp. how can i get it done ? is it possible with this setup or do i have to get something else.

Avantone CR-14 Ribbon

Tonight I finally got to use the Avantone on some tracks. Lead female vocals and backing vocals. I used it with an ADK TT tube mic both through an ISA 428 mic preamp into Pro Tools. The outs on the pres were sent through the line ins on the Soundcraft so I could add some verb for the vibe for her vocal parts without printing the verbs.

Schoeps - CMC5 vs CMC6

On my wish list of stuff to buy is the CMC6. I've used them a few times and have had good luck with them. However, I have a friend who is selling a set of CMC5 and I was curious if the difference between the two is worth holding out for the CMC6? I am actually only worried that the roll off frequency of the CMC5 is 30Hz whereas the CMC6 is "flat" to 20Hz.

Any advice?

Big Muff π Mod Thread (With Clips)

I am posting this for those of us here who are fans of fuzz, Muff, and/or doom metal guitar sounds. I myself love fuzz, but I've always found the new Big Muffs to be a bit weak sounding to say the least. I have grown fond of modifying them back closer to a more 'vintage' Big Muff style sound, while putting my own spin on it.

Suggestions for a FOH vocal preamp

I've decided to start upgrading my touring rack a little bit and one of the things I'd like to add is a decent vocal preamp. I know people say you don't really need it, but it's an option I'd like to have.

What I would really like is it to be flexible. This means a decent EQ section, a decent compressor, bonus points for de-esser and of course road-worthyness.
