Ive been looking to pick up the FocusRite ISA One classic, and am feeling pretty good about it, but I was wondering if there are any other mic preamps in this price range that can rival it or top it. It will be for vocals, not instruments at this point so Im looking for a quality preamp in this price range that can bring a microphone to life so to speak...

Ok so I bought a brand new M-Audio MobilePreamp. I've used the same model in school.

I just bought an RCA 12AU7A tube to replace the one in my dbx 367 which gave up.

It doesn't work. No audio being passed or metered. I checked connections.

Is this a wrong tube for the dbx367?

I plan on upgrading my mic to the SM7B but I am using a RME Babyface or the Duet2

What is your suggestion on what I should get?

I mainly do youtube commentaries and rap.
I will post a link below so you can hear what my voice sounds like and my rap song

Im having a hard time deciding what to get, so any suggestions will be very appleciated!
Thanks guys

What preamp's do you favour most with the Folcrom ?

Hi all, brand new here. Hope I'm asking in the right place.

I've been in live sound for ages but am just building up my first recording rig.

I have a pair of AKG 414's and would like to complement them with some better preamps than my Soundcraft K1 console (which seems fine for general band tracking but I'd like something a bit special for vocal overdubs etc).

Hi all! I'm putting together a home studio and am looking for some recommendations before I buy.

As for my situation, I'm recording spoken vocals for audio-only video games -- essentially radio dramas with some interactive elements. For now I only need to record 1 actor at a time, but I want my studio to support more than that in case I need multiple simultaneous actors later on.

I am trying to find a good condenser microphone and tube preamp combination for my project studio. I am looking in the $1000-2000 range to start but may go higher if needed.
I am currently using logic with a PreSonus interface.

I read a great reply to a different post about upgrading to an external soundcard and I wondered if this would apply to me also if I am only recording vocals over instrumental tracks and my signal chain is mic>preamp>interface>PC USB input. The songs will be mixed by the producer, I'm only adding my vocals. I record with Cubase LE.

Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know of a usb preamp that's phantom powered and most importantly works with windows 7? My old mobile pre usb has drivers for windows 7 but they're TERRIBLE. It keeps making most of my audio jacks not work. I only use it for podcasting.

I'd like to register, but I don't know the name of the cable that starts with m that the pros use...
