let me know what you guys think.

after recording for a year with just an sm58 (and no pre), i recently bought a new condenser mic. instead of just buying a phantom power adapter for it (which i initially wanted) the salesperson convinced me to get a basic preamp for a few more bucks.

i am looking into buying this preamp but i havent heard it yet... does anyone know anything about its quality. any feedback back is greatly appreciated... thank you and haleluyah.

I am fullfilling the dream of my life, I come from a little town in Bolivia (south america) and from a family very poor, I made my way to America when I was 18, since then I have been working on several jobs and traying to make my way up. Well right now I am 27 and have almost my first semi professional home studio, I have been always facinated with the acoustics and sounds.

Can anyone with experience with these units give a non bias opinion of how they match up. Which one is better and why you have your opinion etc...Thanks guys

How good is the M-Audio Duo Preamp compared to other pres in it's price range ( $200-300).
I have one to try out, I'm using it on vocals with an Audio Tech 4033 mic and a Zoom mulitrack recorder.

hi guys, i'm slowly nutting out exactly what stuff i want for my studio, and in terms of mic preamps, there's a lot of "must have" vintage classics, but i don't see a lot of discussion on nice clean modern units. so i was wondering what you guys consider the ultimate pre of this kind. the one i was considering was the Avalon ad2022, but i've since heard some bad things about it.

Crew,

I'm having troubles interfacing a UA 2-610 stereo tube pre with my PC DAW's Audio Interface (Layla 24/96.)

I have a PreSonus Bluemax compressor, and just got an M-audio DMP3 preamp. This is my front-end (such as it is) for a home DAW setup. I would only be using the Bluemax on vocal tracks. My question is this...do I run the mic ( a Groove Tubes GT1) into the preamp first, then compression? This seems the logical method to me, but I'm not sure.

So I have a PreSonus Eureka and an ART Pro channel. They're ok, but all of the true professionals I know are telling me to stop wasting money on these prosumer gear, and instead buy a couple real pieces.

I'm considering purchasing the Focusrite ISA 428. Am i really going to hear a difference in my mixes send stuff through this instead of the Eureka?
