Portico 5012 vs. API R20?

Hi,

I currently own the Portico 5012 dual mic preamp - I do like it a lot but am considering selling it to buy the API R20 Dual mic preamp. With the API I like the idea of having 2 additional high quality DI's plus the reviews on the API seem pretty solid. Just curious if any of you have compared the two or have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Neve Portico 5016 vs 5012

Hi all,

Just stumbled upon this forum while doing some research, and decided I might actually try to post a question I have yet to find an answer for..

I'm currently looking to buy a preamp and a new mic to supplement my very limited current setup. I've previously just been recording an SM57 directly in to a MOTU 828, and definitely think I could stand to step that up.

mastering setup Neve portico

I was wondering the Neve porticos eq will make good eq for mastering. I just bought a Portico setup, including 2 eq and a tape driver and u can bus them all together. Im only miising the compressor. I was also wondering if the Portico compressor will do the trick or it will be better to get a multiband compressor? Thanku
