In this video, I compared all my preamps with 2 different mics (Shure SM57 and Microphone-parts.com T47 DIY kit) What many want to know is if an external preamp even the cheapest is better than those included in an interface. And how will they compare to highend preamps.

So here it is, let me know what you think !

I'm fairly happy with it, but the high-enddoesn't have that special sauce I hear on other recordings. I don't just want to boost the whole thing at >2K. I welcome your feedback...

I am looking at replacing my AD/DA converters box in my studio. I have read that EMM labs are the best per there web site.I have also looked at DAD and threads from various people state that the 32 track model.
 Then there are people who swear about Prism converters. I am looking for converters that are 100 percent transparent without modifying the sound in any respect.

Greeting,
It is my pleasure to inform you that Sequoia 13 has been officially released and is available for immediate shipping!

The difference lies in both the confidence and the lack of excuses that a cost-no-object approach gives both you and the performers. It's why some of us would much rather rent the very best than own second-best.

Hi experts,

I’m doing a bit of research into the high-end miniature microphones market (headset, lavalier type mics used in theater for example).

Does anyone have an idea of how many miniature mics are being sold each year and how many of those mics are Countryman vs DPA vs Sennheiser vs Shure vs other (?) mics?

Just looking to get a sense of their relative size…

Hi,

Hello everyone,

Can't seem to get a straight forward answer about gain staging with high-end gear . I'm using all transformer coupled preamps, API's and Dakings going into Apogee Symphony Converters. Up until then my recording peak levels into Cubase was anywhere from -20db to -12db on a full scale.
