Hi does anyone know a good repair person who look over and rack 2xCalrec PQ1061s, a Neve 33314a and a Calrec C1204. I would really appreciate any information as I have some other gear such as a Cadac board and some Glensound pres that will also need work.
Many thanks,
Warren

The VTBP-201S or HBP-1.

I need some pros and cons. Also, anybody know what may have preceded these units at Demeter?

A chap has got one and says it's 4 -5 yrs old and all he can remember is it's got BP in the model number.

What's the consensus in general?

Ciao,

I am looking for a used mixer ($500 or so) with good preamps.

For example, does anyone know anything about the preamps on the Soundcraft Spirit 1682 mixer?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

boys!
anus australian chapter here.
actually, DAW is going well. it's going to be a very credible sounding demo CD when i've finished.
anywue, i would benefit from a nice sounding multi function mic preamp i.e with compressor and maybe simple EQ, phantom power, guitar input as well as XLR. i know they exist but what's the wheat from the chaff?

I am trying to record 16-24 tracks of audio in the PC without using a mixer and external preamps. Please recommend a souncard having its own preamps?

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and also fairly new to home studio recording. I'm in the process of building my studio and would like some advice on decent preamps for mic/guitar in the $300 range. What is everyone using? What's good, what's bad? Do I need an Avalon or Grace to get a good sound? Thanks for your help.

Have a good one!

I came across one of these 8 channel mic preamp beasts while digging through a pile of neglected semi pro gear I used to use. I remember that it seemed to sound sort of dark and muffeled in comparison to Neve or API pres and even the pres on my old MCI 600 console. Anyone know anything about these things? I heard somthing recently about an upgrade someone does and I am curious about that too.

I own an Allen & Heath Mixwizard (16 channel). I use this exclusively for drums. I would like to upgrade one of the preamps for the kick drum. I would first like to know what will an upgrade do for the sound? And how much do I need to spend for the upgrade to be worthwhile? Please give makes and models with prices. Thanks.

as the subject implies, i'm wondering about the quality of the preamps in these old altec 1220 mixing boards

it's impossible to test it out in the store, so if anyone has any comments, please, let me know

what are your guys' thoughts... preamp before compression, or compression before preamp? thanks
