I'm in the middle of ribbon microphone gas and doing my due diligence before purchase.

So I contacted Doug Fearn to see if he felt my VT1 would have enough juice for a passive ribbon mic - I did not ask about active ribbons.

Hi,

I've got several cheap mic preamps for a number of cheap mics and I'm satisfied. However, I'm currently demoing a ShinyBox 46MXL which I -really- like, but for the fact that none of my mic preamps generate anywhere NEAR enough gain to make it practicable.

Any recommendations on a good match that won't break the bank?

Hello experts,

I recently bought an Mbox 2 and want to buy a condenser mic to record vocals. Im wondering if I absolutely need to get a preamp to work with condenser mics.

Cant I just choose to work with the built in preamps from the mbox?

Thank you!

Hi!

I have a problem that I could not resolve during a long period of time.

I have 2 Shure KSM 109 mics that are connected to M-audio DMP3 preamp.
Preamp is connected to PC sound card.

I'm looking for a preamp which is low on the noise and won't bust my budget. I appreciate any suggestions.
This would be used for recording.

thanks,

My apologies if this is "old hat" for the pros in here. I just wanted to share this for anyone who wants to adapt this to their own home studio.

I am always looking for ways to make new sounds. This trick is nothing more than splitting a mic signal and passing it through both a tube and xsistor preamp and recording in the DAW on two tracks.

So this is what I have done:

I would like to build Neve 1073, SSL & API sounding mic preamps and would like to know the best places to get kits or schematics & bills of materials and instructions etc...Please advise and please be gentle I'm new here! lol

My buddy let me use his Avalon sp737 for a couple of months.
The way i have i connected is as follows...
Mic/XLR-->Avalon/XLR-->MOTU Mic/Guitar#1/XLR W/fantom power off and trimzero..
Is this correct or should i be going thru the analoge TRS Line/input 1 in rear?

Has anyone had any experience with this mic preamp? I would like to get some feedback from other forum members.

Thank you,

Classic 59

Hi, I'm new to this forum and was reffered here by a friend. I heard a lot of great stuff about it and I must admit I am impressed how much you can learn from some threads here!
