Hi folks. Consulting the oracle again. Came across blurbs for the Groovetubes Vipre variable impedance preamp.Just wondering, has anybody checked out this unit? Any opinions? Quality etc.?

Kind regards

Hey All, I'm new to this forum,I have currently the peavey vmp-2 mic preamp with a D8b mixer. I will say off the bat the peavey is nice for the price but not a lot different except for warmer flavor.I would like to take my sound up a par.

Here's a subject I don't recall being discussed lately. It seems many mic preamps these days have high-z DI jacks built in. In my case I've got 'em on my API 3124+, Vintech 1272, TUBE TECH MP-1a, and Demeter H-series. I also happen to have dedicated DI boxes in the form of an Avalon U5, anda couple of Countryman Type 85 FET's.

mix and match and let me know how you'd set it up!

mics:
2 AKG 451s
1 SM57
1 AKG D112
1 Neumann M149

preamps:
2 Neve 1272
1 Avalon M5
1 AMEK 9098
1 Focusrite red (3, I think; includes EQ)

drums:
standard right-handed rock kit with medium cymbals, ride and 3 toms

thanks!

Hello,

I just purchased this unit resently. I am haveing my studio regulated further for power, so I have not as of yet used it! Does anyone have any expierience with the original 610s?

What is your opinion on the new 2-610?

Cheers,

So what are you guys using as drum mics and pres?

Thinking about another dual pre for my Kick and Snare.
I a/b my pres with the kit and liked the Buzz and UA on everything. Although only have one spare UA channel and use the Buzz for Overheads.

Here goes mine.

A friend of mine was offered a 4 year old Manley Dual Mono Block Mic Pre with low hours in pristine condition.

What is a fair price for that unit?

I just came across this:

Joemeek announces revolutionary new microphone preamplifier technology.
The "CurrentSense" microphone amplifier.
It's on http://www.joemeek.com

And the Joemeek people say (of course) that it is a brand new way of pre-amplification.

My questions:

In a couple of months, I will begin tracking for a follow-up album that I have been hired to produce/engineer for an independent label. I am a Pro Tools guy (yes), and own a modest studio, with several decent mic preamps, good A/D conversion, etc. These days, I've been mixing inside PT, and it is working well for me.

Has anyone tried the Daking Mic pre/eq? What do you think of it?
