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

Apologies. I remember reading a query about this months ago but I couldn't find it through searches:

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

Hi, I know this has been discussed here before so I ask for your indulgence. I'm trying to a Mackie 12 channel mixer as a patchbay- plugging my Avalon m5, API, Focusrite, Neve Portico and maybe an old Joemeek down to two inputs into my OO2.
I've read about someone, maybe Kurt bypassing the preamps in his Mackie when heading ito his DAW,
Am I on the wrong track?

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?

I read that if you have a better mic preamp than the ones in the 002 you can use the optical ins/outs so that you can bypass the pre in the 002. My question is this: What if I need my sampler to be in sync with my 002 (drums, etc)? Will I have to switch every time or is there a less complicated way than this?

TIA and have a great weekend

Is there a way to bypass the onboard preamps on the Digi002 rack and use outboard ones?

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.
