hi ! my multmix USB has mic preamps, but there absolute rubbish ! so i want to buy a better preamp, but is it okay to have 2 preamps on 1 mic ( the multimix one and the one i will buy) ? if not how would i solve this problem ?

Thanks

Hey there everyone...I have a pritty basic qustion...
I have a home recording studio where I record mainly drums/other instruments like bass and guitars...its all working nicely but when I try and record Vocals or any other very 'soft' I seem to get realy hard buzzez/all kinds of noises/un-clearnes in the tracks...I use a RODE ntk tube mic to a 16 track Mackie to a digi002.

Hey i looking at getting a mic preamp as my next purchase. I'm fairly new to recording so i don't know much. i was just wondering if anyone has used any of those art pres like the MPA GOld or the pro channel or if anyone has any suggestions for a pre under 500. I was also looking at the brick which seems to get really good reviews. i have PreSonus firepod with Cubase 4.

I use a Zoom MRS802 multitrack which I simply plug my Mic (RODE NT1a) and guitars straight into. The zoom has phantom power for the mic and a dedicated High Z imput for guitars.

What I would like to do is use an external mixer so that I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging mics and guitars from the zoom unit - it will also give me far better monitoring possibilites.

Hi I'm planning buying another pre for my studio about $2000, i was wondering what sounds best aGreat River or a Focusrite red

Anyone have experience with both Focusrite's Platinum range preamps (Octopre, Voicemaster) and The Brick? How do they stack up? Has anyone compared The Brick to a VTB-1? (I assume at $100 the VTB-1 lands in that budget category of "sounds okay, but nothing special"). Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello,

Im kind of new to the music production world, and I need some great advice.
I am building a DAW around a Pro Tools HD1 setup. I have a 192 I/O expanded interface, with 16 direct inputs.

i just want a straight decent sounding console that i can use with pc based recording, forget right now about the a/d and d/a boxes i'll need, i was wondering if there's anything in the 3000 range, i want at least 25 faders 24 for the channels and 1 for the stereo bus, i want 24 mono inputs, has a control out with built in talkback mic, i mean theres got to be some thing,

thanks,

I don' t mean any cheap starved plate jobs.

What do you expect from a GOOD tube mic preamp?

What do you want to hear from it when you audition it?

What features are must haves?

Thanks
