I'm new to this so you have to forgive me and have patience with me.

What's the difference in result of the sound quality of a cheap preamp, a good preamp, and an expensive preamp?

What would you most likely hear in the vocals that point out a cheap preamp and a good preamp?

I am adding some more API modules and I love my Brent Averill Neve 1272. Does anyone own his 312a's? How do they compare to the 512c's?

Has anyone had any experience with Quad eight mic preamp's? I've heard they are similar to the api sound. also, does anyone know where I can get some around the BC, cananda area? thanks

I think this might be useful for all RO friends...
Nice weekend
:)

Hello,

I have been equipping my home studio over the last couple of years. To give you some idea of where I'm at in the process, here is an abbreviated list of what I'm using :

so everything in my little digiworld is great But now its time to deal with the money channel!

With the vmp-2000e's I got a few weeks ago. The pads allow an amazing range of sounds to come out of this box. I can't believe how much my sound quality has improved, even with the crappy mics I use (next thing to upgrage). Kurt was right, invest in pre's that don't suck. These really can do colored and uncolored sounds. Unbelieveible. I wish I had more of em! But alas I am poor!

Hello folks. I don't think I've ever posted here before. I just bought some inexpensive pres on eBay. I need some extra inexpensive ones to go with my DAW. I have 8 channels of some really nice pres - Millennia but I just need some extra to pull in through lightpipe in case I need more.

This is a variation on a thread I was following on antoher forum...

If you have 2 really nice mic preamps (your "money pres"), where do you use them when Micing a drum kit (assuming you are close Micing the entire kit here)?

-Both OHs?
-Snare + Kick?
-One OH + Kick?

Hi all,
