I don't mean to be a pest with all my questions, but I really appreciate all the great/useful answers I have received from you all recently!

I am starting to record audio books. I have a PR40 and a laptop and a very good sound room ready to go. From other users' comments, I now know that I need to get a good preamp for my recordings.

Hi all!

I just bought a micpreamp -PreSonus Tubepre- & I need to connect it on the same USA-EU transformer (they are US models connected on a European plug) of the one which is used to connect a Mackie VLZ 1202.

it makes a kind of buzz/noise which is more than annoying for my voice recordings.

Any ideas to solve this?

Thanks for your answers!

I'm looking for a stereo (2 channel) preamp. I want to mainly use it for vocals, but also for drum overheads. I'm looking to spend 1,000 to 2,000, and do not care if its used, off ebay, etc. I just want to most I can get for the price I can afford. I'd love a Manley because I have used them in school, but.. thats a couple thousand out of my price range. Any suggestions.

Hi folks,

i am new to this forum and to the world of preamps.

I recently bought a Shure KSM44SL mic, and now looking for good single preamp to use with it to record every, vocals, bass, guitars, percussion
i'll be going into into the DAW via a Focusrite saffire.
I do a lot of african music(very acoustic folk) and hip hop

I've got this on the list,

What type of preamp should I be looking for for RE20 when doing VO for radio. I am looking for something that is going to get me the best out of the mic for a relatively decent type of price.

I mean I am not looking to go super elaborate here, just something to bring the best out of the mic.

Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

Any suggestions for a really good mic preamp, particularly for drums? API was suggested and it would be great if I could gradually get some of the 512's, but I think you need a different type of rackmount system (lunchbox?). I'd like to keep it at around $600-800 per channel. I'd like to be able to gradually collect due to price range.

Hello,

I'd like to start out by saying I'm new to recording and to these forums, and am in need of aid w/ my current recording setup.

Hi i heard from someone if i got a tube preamp for my AT4033CL it would make a world of a difference. I got the mic for $200 so I'm not looking at spending a lot. Im running the mic into an Alesis firewire Multimix, so I'm sure anything will be better. This mic will be used generally for vocals

thanks!

I have had this ART Pro Channel in my studio for years now and I would like to breath some new life into it. I ordered and installed Ei 12AX7 Elites and TungSol 12AX7 [ NEW PRODUCTION] tubes only to find that both had issues. The Ei's had +17 dB noisefloor over baseline factory tube. The TungSol tube has a bad harmonic distortion at about 300hz.
