Focusrite Red 8Pre  Here's another new piece of kit I would really like to try.

came across this in an ad in my email. I like how the guy describes what the parts do, in sound guy terms. It kinda lends a tonal characteristic to things like resistors, where I'm usually like HUH? This thing looks cool.

Hi I'm planning buying another pre for my studio about $2000, i was wondering what sounds best aGreat River or a Focusrite red

hello,

i have a Manley gold mic.
and i would like to know whats the best preamp for that mic.

i wanna a transparente, clear, open and super big sound.

i have the 3D Pre CD Volume 1, Preamps in Paradise-Preamp Summit DVD-ROM, 3D Mic CD and ADCD Converter CD . :)

i kown there are GORDON, BUZZ AUDIO, GML... but in CD i prefer the Millennia or the focusrite.

Okay - follow up to my question re: the ELOP.

How about the Focusrite Red 3 as a mastering compressor/limiter? I found one lcoally here that I can get in mint condition for around $1800.

I'm very familiar with the sound of the Red series and I do like it, I just don't like the lack of detents.

Thoughts?

I am planning to rent this preamp for recording percussion. Any opinions?

A friend of mine is traveling outside the country for a few months and let me borrow some of his equipment. First delivery were a Focusrite Red 7 and a U87.

Hello
I'm looking for a good clean stereo pre, ( mostly for drums, piano ...) under 2000$ and I was thinking of one either of these: Grace 201 and Focusrite Red 8
Has anyone used these and what do you think ?
thanks!

I'm still toiling over what "all in one" unit to get. I've narrowed it down to two, but if you have any other great suggestions feel free to throw them in.

4 channel pre packs that I'm sure many of you are familiar with.

Do any of you have any experience A/B'ing these two side by side? I'm interested in recording rock-n-roll bands and these would be for drums/guitar. Probably SM57s/AT kick mic going in to them, running the kick/snare/toms and guitar cabs.
