If you had my 5 grand for 8 channels of mic preamps...what would you get?
I'm thinkin...
2 UA 610
4 APi (3124)
2 Great River
by the way I'm using Soundcraft Ghost pres and the digi 002 focusrites right now...

ive got the fostex mr-8, which comes with two built in mic preamps. i run a Shure sm-57 and some other cheap Audio-Technica mic through a Behringer eq and then right into the recorder. recently ive noticed that when i record clean guitars, mostly acoustics, i cannot get enough volume. i turn the eq all the way up and turn the preamp up as much as i can before the noise takes over.

I posted this on a similar forum and have yet to get a response. May be that the board is less active than when I was last there BUT, I kinda need some feedback soon.

i've been thinking about saving myself some money by replacing the stock 12AX7 tube inside my $80 preamp with a better tube. (i think i ran across the bnb tubes site in one of these forums).

is this something slightly common? would it be worth it? would i get myself a more pleasing sound or a bad electrical shock?

list your PreAmps that you use or Recomend

Well I just got a firepod, and ran a question in my mined. For whatever reason I can not figure it out. So how would I gop about hooking a preamp up to the firepod. Would I got Spdif in? I mean there is no "pre" preamp insert. Everyother input would run though the firepod preamps. I think I'm just stupid. Someone please explain.

Hello all, I'm interested in buying a mic preamp and don't have a large budget (unfortunately) but I've come across the PreSonus Blue Tube DP mic preamp. The online reviews seem to be mostly positive. However I was wondering if anyone here has any expirence with it or other PreSonus mic preamp's. I'll be running it into my Digi 002. Thank you!

Hello! I am a new member to this community and a newbie :roll: in the recording arts and music production.

I just purchased an Altec 1567a Tube mixer on ebay. I use an apple powerbook w/ mbox. I'm one of "those guys" who don't know sh*t about the schematics of vintage gear (yet), but am in love with their sound. I've been recording on everything TUBE and 2" machines at a few studios ... just never ran the stuff. I've used these as preamps before, and they definietly kick some ass...

I have recently begun upgrading my studio with some better preamps (seventh circle) and converters (ISA428 card) and for some reason my 30 year old teac 2-track recorder has escaped my eye untill now.
