I have two mics, an SM58 & a RODE NT1 and am using a PreSonus Firebox for recording. I would be recording one input at a time and it would be primarily voice and sometimes acoustic guitar or amped out electric. Could someone please guide me which preamp would fit my budget of $250. I am finding the gain on the Firebox rather low with the SM58 but just about acceptable with the RODE NT1.

i have a problem whith how to use a mic preamp when you have an audio enterface.

any help?

I just bought two Mics a Shure KSM44 and a SM7b now I just need too get a nice quality matching preamp to go with them. one of my worries is too get enough good clean gain from the preamp for my SM7b Mic .which I know is going to take a lot of gain 60 to 70db any good seggestions to power it? ...I found a good used Grace within my budget. I would appreacate your advice and suggestions?

Can anyone recommend me solid mic/instrument preamp for 400$?
thx

Hi everyone. .i recently came across an Avalon VT 737 sp preamp that i could pick up for a fair price. I have heard nothing but incredible things about this piece of gear and I'm sure it would be quite a step up from what I'm using now.

I've looked around a bit and I've kind of settled on the Focusrite Octopre LE for $600. I would like some input on that particular piece as well as other similar priced units. It will be used in conjunction with a Dig 002R so I can have 12 XLR channels simultaneously.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I am being told that I cannot use a Guitar preamp as a line preamp, is this correct? I simply need to get a preamp to connect to my power amp and then play a CD player through the preamp. All I need as far as controls go are the Volume, bass and treble functions so as long as the Guitar preamp has in input and Output, why can it NOT work?

An old buddy of mine and amazing drummer, who played with Ben Folds for a while, is coming in to town this weekend to lay down some tracks for me.

i am planing on buying a MindPrint EN-VOICE MK II tube recording preamp to record hip hop and r&b vocals. i am using a CAD E200 Equitek Series Dual Single Diaphragm Condenser Microphone. is this a good pramp to get for hip hop and r&b vocals? i will be using it with a Tascam fw-1804 audio interface.

Hi folks

I have a gear-related challenge which, if it's the evening in your part of the world, and you've had a beer or two, you might (fingers crossed) be willing to take up!
