Hi,

First post. I hope I can contribute a bit as time goes by as well as picking brains here!

Does anyone have a view on the quality of this mixer's preamps? It's about 10 years old and no longer manufactured. I got a view over at Cubase.net that Allen & Heath mixers are generally well regarded but nothing specific on the preamps.

I have an MBox would u recommend any external mic preamps and comps.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've learned so much from you people over the last few weeks, so thanks!

I've seen a couple of posts elsewhere about the Apogee Mini-Me where users complained that their preamps are a little on the noisey side. Would users here agree that this is the case?

With GC offering the Mixwizard 16:2 for $800, my credit card is getting the urge to buy something - even though new mics are next on my "list", that mixer is tempting.

I currently have a pair of Mackie 1402s - a VLZ and a VLZ Pro. I use them primarily as a banks of mic preamps for on-site recording, coming out of the inserts into a MOTU 24i.

How would the Neve 1073 mic preamp clash wit the u87?
then into a Manley El-Op comp? For R&b/rap vocals, will we get a pro sound? We currently use 737s with our u87s, will we notice a big difference by replacing the mic preamps?

Trying to decide on the 7600 strip or the lunchbox. All feedback appreciated.

The new Mackie boards with the new Pre's.. are they something that gets a great sound or are they overrated?

I am looking into picking up a board now to setup in a small studio that will work with local bands.

Will they do a good job untill higher priced racked gets purchased down the line?

I hear they are very nice...

Has anyone heard the new Mackie Onyx preamps and perkins EQ on their new boards? Do they live up to the hype? How do they compare to the old vlz and vlz pro preamps.

There has been a lot of "discussion" regarding what preamps to use for what application...a great resource for all...

I am recording with a begringer mixer, boss br 532 (i know it sucks), and then going to my computer through the digital out

I am getting good sound if commercial is a 10 I'm at an 8

Now the problem - I'm not using ANY preamps and they needed?
How much better will they sound and where would i put them in my set up thank in advance
