DAW Recording Fader vs. . Preamp gain
I am attempting to record my drum set using 3 dynamic mics. I have them plugged into a Behringer mono analog minimix box which has no markers on it besides 0 and 10 on the gain knobs. I then have the box's output going to the line in jack on my pc. I'm trying to figure out the relationship between this preamp gain and the recording slider in Audacity.

Preamp Observation: advantages to clean, advantages to color
I've used many preamps over the years that I've been recording and mixing, and while there are certainly still parts to the craft that I'm still learning - things I'm not sure of but pick-up on, as time passes and technology advances - and I have made a particular observation ... about preamps.

CAPI VP-28 DIY preamp review - clips included
I first learned about CAPI gear on the forums. I was looking to dip my toes into the world of API sounds, not fully knowing what that meant. I had heard all the descriptors like punchy, forward mids, aggressive, tight, etc., but wanted to try it out for myself. So many great albums were done on API's, right?
AKG C414 XLS vs. . Shure KSM44a Apollo preamp
I am looking for a reliable workhorse microphone that will be used for 90% vocals. There will be both male and female vocalists focusing on pop and EDM. I will be running the mic through an apollo rack 8 and the room is nicely treated by gik acoustics. The problem is, I haven't been able to DECIDE which microphone to buy...and I can not afford both.
Proper use of the preamps
My converter and i/o is the Mbox Pro (3rd generation in case it matters)
It uses the preamp if it's switched to Mic. It does not apply the preamp section with line inputs.

Warm Audio announced API 312 style preamp!
Oh man oh man, this could be good. Fingers crossed. @$1199 it's excellent per channel cost, got input And output xformers, and also an an output knob per channel, which could be useful when not only for good gain staging, but especially if these trannys overdrive pleasantly. Plus the op amps are easily swappable. If I'm dreaming I don't wanna wake up!
