I'm mostly a recording guy, but I do the odd live sound gig. I've done a couple now with analog snakes that split the signals to both the FOH booth, and the monitor console. But I don't get how those work, in terms of preamps to microphones? Are there are two gain knobs controlling two preamps to one mic? How is that possible?

Hey crew, since ya''ll are such a wealth of information, I would like to once again express my lack of knowledge, this time in the field of preamps and channel strips. There is so much out there it's easy to get a little overwhelmed.

Hello,
looking for some opinions on the character "character" comparison between the D.A.V. Broadhurst Gardens No.2, Shinybox Si4, and Sytek MPX-4?
What one do you recommend? Will be used mainly for "rock" in conjunction with Daking pre's.

I bought this reamp box, it is a brand from Argentina widely used in my country.

THIS ARE THE REAMP BOX CONTROLS

HELLO guy. I'm trying to get 8 more preamps to my set up which is a diggi 002 with already 4 preams added (api 3124).I will love to get the Focusrite 828 so I can have 12 good preamps ( I dont want to use the preamp from the diggi couse sound bad).

Hi,

I've been researching on microphone preamps quite a bit, and wondering whether upgrading to dedicated outboard preamps would really help the sound quality. It can be quite a heavy investment, so I'd like to be really sure before taking the plunge.

Hi all,

Firstly, please excuse me if I do voice seemingly stupid questions. I really am starting out.

Preamps are very "subjective" as we all know. Though I think it would be really helpful if people could perhaps post their top 5 choices for roughly about 1200 dollars. This is weed out some of the lower end units and focus on mid range units which I am sure many of us could use in our studios. I am looking to buy one myself, and this would be my first. I really could use some help.

I am looking at buying an ADAT preamp rack to connect to my Digi 002 as i now need more preamps as am constantly patching cables.
I need something that has 8 Mic/Line inputs and have looked at the PreSonus digimax D8 but it has 8 XLR inputs (On the rear) and only 2 line inputs on the front panel. I really need a unit that has 8 line and 8 XLR inputs.

Hey everyone,
Looking for 4-8 clean professional quality preamps to compliment my everyday Daking Mic Pre's.
I'm thinking along the lines of the new A-Design 500 series, but I don't want to have to buy a lunch box to use them?
$750 per channel budget
Thoughts? Suggestions?
