hello,

i have a Manley gold mic, and the Avalon vt 737sp.

any one owns a Manley gold mic, that can advice me a mic preamp that works great with the gold mic ?

thanks a lot :D

Ahh I hate asking this, it seems like the question of the day. I m usually extremely decisive in my gear purchases but I'm in a tuff spot. I'm really happy with the gear I have now but there is definitely room for improvement to get " the sound." Where I'm at right now I'll prob only be able to make 1 more large purchase for the time being.

Hi all, I'm in the process of getting the big picture together of what I would need for a home studio. I'm sure you all get this type of question all the time so I tried to break it down and give you specifics of what I'm asking. I would like to have the ability to record live, and still edit afterward, none of that one-track-at-a-time crap.

Hello, I have a firebox with the 2 XLR/instrument inputs in the front. What I want to do is record acoustic guitar using a condenser mic and plug the guitar's onboard preamp in the other channel. The problem is I think the phantom power applies power to both mic inputs. Will this harm the onboard preamp on the guitar(it's the kind with a 9 volt battery) if the phantom power is on?

we intend to buy MOTU 896HD it has eight mic preamps. are they not good enough to record vocals and acoustic guitars through cabinets micing. because we don't have money to buy a seperate mic preamp amp. we thought that this sound card would be sufficient to record our music.
our music sound required is pop rock. but mainly guitar oriented.

Wondering if anyone has any tips on mic preamp's and direct boxes. specifically, if i can use a good mic preamp (tube perhaps) to function as a direct box as well, and vice versa.

recording analog to tape.

Thanks!

Hi there

so my Behringermic200 tube preamp has been acting up. it's been dying out during use, producing weird sounds, etc. i tried replacing the tube with no such luck. so i'm out $60, whatever.

May be a dull, dumb question but I have to ask it none the less. Just bought a firepod to enable me to do mobile recordings and record practices and rehearsals with it connected to my laptop.
