Hello, I'm just getting into the very basics of recording and purchased myself an XM8500 mic. My uncle had a preamp/mixer that I was going to use, but for some reason the mic doesn't work with it. I've tried everything and decided that I would just get a new preamp instead.

The interface is making a significant amount of noise, even with all settings down. It's a bit of white noise laced with a light high pitched buzzing. Possibly electrical? Any suggestions?

Hi I'm wondering what your opinons are on the ART Tube MP preamp which i plan to purchase for my home studio?

I only need one channel... and will be going through my delta 1010lt soundcard... would the ART Tube MP be effective?

What are other preamps that are of great quality and have 2 channels at max?
Thanks
