Hi friends

which one is better mic preamp in sound quality

1. summit 2ba-221 or TL Audio 5001 (I have a better deal on both) or
2. Focusrite ISA 220 or Avalon M5 (slightly over budget)

thanks & regard

using tritons etc, should i go through 2 mic preamp or direct box's, What is more common?

I am sure we would all agree that the ideal signal path would be direct from Mic Pre to line in of the soundcard when recording to a DAW.

However I still need to monitor the Mic Pre source, so what I do like many others I suppose, is to go direct to my line in on my small mixer and take a direct line out of that to the soundcard.

for more of a linkin park vocal sound, which mic preamp should i get?

I am having problem with the following config:

does anyone know what Mic Pre is used on Linkinpark Hybrid Theory VOCAL RECORDING for Chester Bennington(THe singer)?

hi there...

according to some reviews that i have been reading here i decided to sell my dbx 586 dual vacuum tube preamp that i used as main preamp for recording vocals...

as i have heard, there are better ones out there for the same money...

so which one up to a max of 700 bucks would you recommend ?

I'm working on a classified project for NASA to evaluate the possibility of detecting, remotely, whether it is possible to detect, the sound of a tree falling in a forest on earth from outer space. The classified orbital height will be 262,000 miles, embedded in a classified location on a large orbital body code-named "luna" (don't tell anybody!).

I'm looking to get a new Mic Pre or compressor unit pretty soon and I wanted to know what gives that similar british flair for about $500 or under? I have a Joemeek VC3Q that I like alot. I was thinking about the RNC but it's pretty transparent. I might still pick one up but what other options do I have?

Thanks

I've seen a few kits on the net that you can get for around a thousand dollars that are supposed to be API and Millennia copies. The circuit design looks very simple especially on the MM-990. its an epoxy molded gain circuit that needs a power supply and phantom power + a rack box.
