what is up. this is dynasty. i am using a Digidesign pro tools mbox 2 pro. i have a recording studio set up in my home. i am running a mixing board with 12 tracks. the pro tools has preamps and so does the mixing board. i would like to have more inputs instead of just swaping each instrument out and then plugging another in.

Im using a Rhode NT1a into 002 rack for female vocalist with
powerful voice .
Opinions on whether a preamp would be worth using and why,
which models are suited.
In the past we have used Shure 57 mics with quite good results,
but are looking for better sounding tracks.

is it possible to hook up a separate mic preamp amp to the toneport ux2 somehow? I dont like the preamps the pod farm comes with.

Thanks!

Hi

What is the main purpose for a mic preamp?

Thanks.

So Im going to start gearing up in the next few years and with some good mic preamps. I havent researched these as much as I have mics probably cause they arent as sexy to look at. What I have used lately is the octopre with all the goodies on it which I love. Ive also used the ISA 428 which was good but seemed noisy if I remember right.

This is my very first port with you guys and after reading a lot of different postings from various enthusiasts followed by great advice from the forums experienced engineer types and moderators of the like, I feel the answer to my questions will come rather easily.

Hello,

at the moment I'm using the preamps on my Allen and Heath Mixwizard 3 Mixing Desk for recording everything (drums,guitar, bass, vocals).

Im looking to buy a dedicated 2-channel pre-amp to record overheads, and guitar, bass and vocal overdubs

Does anybody know hove to find a wiring diagram for AMEK 9098 Dual Mic Amp ?

I would be so glad if anybody could help me

I recently invested in a few different tubes for my amp which only has room for a single preamp tube, the rest is solid state. I thought I'd share my findings with you. I could hear and feel a pretty nominal difference while playing through the amp, but to be honest I strain to hear the difference in the recordings, maybe your experience will be different.

Ok so I bought 2 cheap little ART Media Tube Pre's for about 30 bucks a piece. I had read some suprising reviews about how they were actually pretty good expecially for the price. So a little curious I bought 2.

I actually use mine to warm up my vocals at my live show and the sound is actually very nice and warm.
