Hey, I don't really post much, but I've been floating around for a while..

Anyway, I play in a reggae influenced band outta buffalo, NY. I've been doing the band's latest recordings in our home studio, (Mackie Board, MOTU A/D Converter, Soundcraft Compact 4, various mics, etc. )

Hello Everyone!

I'm sure most of you know the Focusrite octo pre that can connect to a digital workstation via a firewire.
Well I am looking for pretty much the exact same thing but one that is much better sounding and less channels, maybe a 2 channel.

I'm wondering about the merits of tracking with lots of available types of preamp's vs using a really large great sounding console? And how many people today still track with just one console?

IOW would I be better off buying anouther type of preamp to complinent my Focusrite ISA428? For a better soundstage and instrument seperation?

hey everyone,

I am in the market for a new higher end preamp (currently only Twin Track Pro and the Tascam FW-1884 on board pres).

I am looking at the ISA 428, and recently because of all the great feedback, the JML TMP8.

I like the 428 because of the A/D card I can get along w/ 4 great pres..giving me 8 extra inputs in addition to my current 8.

Ok I think this is the place to put this. Our set up, mic-EV N/D 767a, mixer-Behringer UB802, sound card-Zoltrix Nightingale Pro (its a $35 sound card), PC-windows with Audacity.

what's good everybody? i been checking out the forum for a minute now but this is my first time posting. i usually perform a search and find what i need. but this time i have a couple of questions i couldn't find answers to.

Hey guys,

Lookin for a solid 2 channel mic preamp, with some eq. compression would be nice but not a must. mostly for drums, kick snare typething. if its sweet on other stuff then even better. No tubes. something that sounds sort of like 'f**k you'.

any good/bad words on the joemeek twinq, or toft stuff?

I'm looking in the $700-$1400 range.

I've decided to get a small, budget Mic/Line pre-amp to connect to my Audiophile 2496. I'm currently considering 2 candidates:

- Behringer Tube Mic 200
- M-Audio Audio Buddy

Seems they have approximately the same specs, except that the Behringer has a tube whereas the Audio Buddy is solid state.

Opinions? Experiences?

Thanks :D

now ill admit right now that i dont really know shi* about production and recording, and ive only been doing it a couple months, which will probably be apparent.

Yo...
