Just uploaded it. I think this one will do well for the youtube channel.

Hi everyone,

First post here. I'm slowly getting back into the home recording arena after a hiatus.

I'm very intrigued by Pro Tools 9 and its ability to handle other audio interfaces. I used to record on a Digi001 but that's been on the shelf now for a few years. That being said, I'm also looking at other DAW's (reaper, logic, etc.).

I got my USED Trident S40 mic preamp and have been playing around. I really like it, but have a question about some buzz. Here's the scenario:

Does it matter what kind of preamp a person records e-drums through? The sounds in the drum kit module are pro-quality already, but I imagine that what they go through before they hit the DAW can make a huge difference in their recorded quality. Am I correct in my assumption? If I send the TD-9 sounds through a Neve it should sound better than sending it through an ART or FMR RNP?

I wanted to publicly thank you for your advice on the potential purchase of a Trident S40 preamp. I bought one and will let you all know what I think of it once it gets here. It sounds like it is going to be a nice piece of gear and a huge step up from the Digimax D8 I currently use.

I'm quite excited.

I have the Maudio project mix and would like to replace the preamps! What pre's do you recommend that i should replace it with?

I have a 1992 Soho Quatro 4 tube, 2 channel preamp.It is a "better" version of a Kitty Hawk Quatro.The input jack on the front pannel has borken its threads.

I just transitioned from a Firepod (circa 2006) to a Firestudio Mobile and for some reason the microphone sounds horribly muffled when as far as I know I haven't changed a thing besides the preamp. There's also some static on that track, as well, so I feel like something glaring is definitely not right here.

I'm currently using a PreSonus FireBox for an interface and I'd like to try my hand in building some basic outboard preamps for my dynamic mics. Opamps work fine, no need for tubes. I would like (but not necessary) one design that is relatively transparent and one that is more of a 'vintage' or coloring preamp.

I'm shopping for a nice preamp.
