I got this e-mail/ad and I do need to get a good quality pre-amp. any thoughts

I record my Midi performances on my Yamaha Motif ES into a Sweetwater Creation Station DAW. I record with Sonar using an Edirol FA-66 soundcard (audio interface), and running Receptor with the Komplete libraries (which utilize Kontakt as a plugin soft synth within Sonar).

I have been in the process of building a home studio for some time now. It will be primarily used for pleasure, but I am very much a perfectionist so quality is extremely important to me. I'm revamping everything and started by getting an IMac. I will be using Pro Tools system for the first time so that new to me.

Hey everyone! New to the forum, but I've been at this a while now. I recently purchased a house with a finished detached garage (a-frame, 20'+ ceiling) that I am planning to use as a project studio for myself and freelance recording gigs. Mostly rock/funk/jazz - transparency is important to me and I don't want to lose the room sound that I bought the U87s to attain.

Hi guys, i have just finished building a baby animal preamp kit to use with my Delta 1010 soundcard. I was wondering the best way to connect to the soundcard and whether there are any settings in the control panel to allow me to optimise the quality of my recordings.

Would i imagine its a means of simply going from the baby animal preamp output to the RCA input of the Delta card?

What can you guys recommend for a person on my budget...I am in need of a compressor for vocals, will probably use on acoustic and electric guitars too though into my Pro Tools system. Also in need of a preamp at least on channel 2 would be good but not required...ive seen some decently priced dbx, and a Behringer tube comp..and maybe a ART pre?my budget:

Hey guys,
I'm about to get a new preamp and am looking for any suggestions.

So far I'm looking at either a Neve Portico half rack (pre/comp), a UA la-610, or maybe an api.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I've had a condenser mic for two years which I haven't used cos I didn't have phantom power - what's the very least I need to get it to work?

I wanna know everyone's take on this preamp... I've heard really good things about it, and read great reviews from magazines, what not, but can anyone who owns it or has had experience with it tell me what their experience has been? I am thinking about giving it a try.

Hey guys,
