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.

My buddy let me use his Avalon sp737 for a couple of months.
The way i have i connected is as follows...
Mic/XLR-->Avalon/XLR-->MOTU Mic/Guitar#1/XLR W/fantom power off and trimzero..
Is this correct or should i be going thru the analoge TRS Line/input 1 in rear?

i do all my tracking with a Mackie onyx mixer w/firewire

if i buy a separate preamp (isa one, trident, whatever) then i obviously want to bypass the onyx pre. if i run the 1/4" output of a preamp into the 1/4" input of the onyx mixer, then i'm bypassing the onyx's preamp, is that correct?

just making sure my ducks are in a row before i go out and buy lots more gear

Hello,

I've been recording for a while and I'm trying some new equipment out and I'm a little jammed.

I have a 24x24 SoundCraft Spirit Mixer and a PreSonus Firepod.

I want to run from my snake into the Soundcraft mixer (for use of it's great preamps and eq's) and the run lines out of those channels into my firepod (bypassing the firepods preamps).

Should the output of my vipre go into an insert in the mbox? I just read this somewhere. I currently have it in the mic input with the mbox pre turned all the way to the left (down). Is that right? Should I choose 'line' as the input choice?
I hate hooking stuff up. I just like turning stuff on.
Thanks,
Steve

Does anyone know if it's possible to bypass the preamps in a Firepod? I've got some other preamps I want to use and the pre's on the Firepod limit me getting the full range on my external pre's. Anyone know how?

Hello all, this is my first post here. Please excuse my ignorance.

I am about to get my first outboard mic preamp (I think a PreSonus MP20 used at GC for $300). How do I run the signal into my mixer without going through the board pres? My mixer has balanced line ins, but they are pre-preamp. It also has inserts.
