Guys,

Hi everyone!

I'm quite new to this forum, and really to whole recording business. (I'm also sorry to throw in another mic preamp-question!) I own a small project studio and I produce mostly stuff for TV & Radio (themes, jingles, commercials, etc.).

What would you guys do first? Right now I'm using two RNP/RNC combos and I want to improve the quality of my recordings. I am going to get two X73i's with the power supply, a UA 1176, and an Empirical Labs Distressor...but I only have enough money to get the pre's OR the compressors now. Thank you

Hi can anyone give me the website address for these preamps . I tried the search function and couldn't find anything. Probabaly won't doing it right! Thanks. :oops:

Hi Guys,

Getting my taxes done today, and in less than a week I'll have about $2k to spend on mic preamps.

Here are what I am thinking about. I only really need about 2-3 channels of preamps, for guitar and vocal overdubs.

I am thinking about the following pres:

Okay let's say I have a limited budget(true) and let's say I have not yet bought my gear(true) and let's say I won't have clients looking over my shoulder and asking 'why there is the noticeable absence of a U87'(true):

If I'm reading you guys right, I'm hearing that an SM57 can sound like gold run through a great pre, but a $2G mic sounds like yik run through a cheapo pre-amp.

First of all, I'm impressed by the level of professionalism and passion that people bring to these forums. A lot of very useful information is floating around in here. I've lurked on this board for a number of months and finally joined. I'm seeking some input on planned upgrades.

Hi all,
I'm curious about these mics. I don't think I've ever seen one mentioned here regarding a mic strategy. As a previous inhabitant of the outside world, I was initially surprised not to see them mentioned more often -although I had since forgotten that they existed -I really should get out more often! I'm especially curious about the preamp.

Thanks
John
