Hi everyone,

Heya,
Newb here.
OK i got a Mackie 1202vlz. I've been looking at
Allen Heath MX14:4:2. I don't have any outboard
pres so.
Are the XDR's on the MAckie that good-I hate going direct out unbalanced.
So are Allen Heath pre good?
Opinions please
TIA
T

Any suggestions?
I have a studioprojects c1-mic running into spirit f1 mixer and terratec-soundcard.

I live far away from everything so I'm able to test-run only the major brands like dbx and focusrite. Do they they any good in this range?

I've red some good things about joemeek twinQCS and spl goldmike. Any comments on these?
thanks.

I'm currently using a RODE NTK with an Avalon 737sp. Can someone give me some ideas on mic/preamp combos that would be better than this. I record mostly Contemporary Country and Pop, some R&B. Male tenor range. I also do VOs.

I've heard a lot of raving about the new BLUE Kiwi and the Sound Projects T3 mics. Anyone used them and with what preamp?

I currently have a PTIII system and a Mackie 8 Bus mixer.

What will I gain by using an outboard mic preamp.

My current vocal mic is a RODE NTK. This is a tube mic. I bring it into the Mackie and out though the 888 into PT where I add compressors etc.

I don't understand everything and desire to learn from the masterminds here.

Kind of a funny question...

I need to do vocal recordings (country & pop lead/backup) with an AKG-414C/BULS. I've got every piece of the chain save a decent preamp. I would prefer not to spend more than $400 on one (1/2 channel, preferrably 2).

I'm trying to do my own preamp and compressor shoot out and I'd like to split the signal after the mic and power supply (tube mic with own power) into two or three different preamps. Then do the same after a single preamp with two or three different compressors. This way I am using the same takes and what not to judge the comparison. Will I run into phasing problems or will this work?

I just read another post on what people think of the ever versitle SM-57.

Just out of interest what Preamps are you Pros useing to get the best results out of the 57 and why?

Will you use different Pres for recording a guitar amp and then a Vocalist?

Do you ever choose your on board Pres vs your aresenal of gear?

And lastly, do you choose Tube or Solid State?

Hello.
