Hi everybody, I'm new to recording.org, and I wonder what preamp tube I should buy (I wanna buy two differents, for recording in stereo with two large diaphragm condenser mics) with my external audio interface, a Tascam USL 122. I don't want to put more than 200$ canadian for both, before taxes.

Hi all,

I am about to buy a new mic.
Is for recording vocals (Hip hop /Rap/RnB).
SM7B / RODE K2
and the preamp is RNP.. dont have the money to buy about 1000dollar..

Any suggestions?

can u guys give me some equipment you think i should buy i already di some research but i wanna what you guys have to say...first of all i got a at4040 and a mbox 2 i wanna get a tube pre for it and a compressor/gate also and eq rack..my budget is about anywhere from 150 to 250 but i dont really need the eq rack i just want one but it could wait or what would u guys suggest cuz i could always e

I am planning to do a live recording. I was thinking to use the line output on the FOH mixer. But I was wondering, should I go directly to my converter or should I go through some of my preamps as well?.. I have 6 good preamps (API and Green river). Or will this degrade the sound? (I think the FOH mixer is a Allen&Heat 48chn)

Thats right, I would like a audio interface for the PC so I can do digital recordings, however I am having trouble finding any that don't have built in preamps. I am sure there some with great preamps out there, but if I happen to have some high quality preamps, and would like to keep them in the signal loop while still switching to digital, would I have any options?

Will buying preamps help my sound quality even though the firepod has preamps on it?

Im new with this stuff. How would I hook the Nady PRA-8 Mic Preamp up to my PC?

New SE GM10 microphone to record acoustic guitar not sounding great...what new equipment do i need?

Setup:
- Core 2 Duo laptop with Cubase.
- Soundcard MAudio Firewire Audiophile (no phantom power or preamps)
- Mixer Phonic 1002 (phantom power)
- Yamaha P5 Active Monitor Speakers

whats the difference in sound generally?

and though i know ultimately i should try out pres for myself, which type would you suggest for recording vocals and acoustic guitars for a singer/songwriter and why? (any mic info would be great too.)

thanks!

I am lost and confused. I have a soundcraft spirit folio sx 20 mixingboard. But I want to go all rack, I used this board only for preamps. So I was satisfied with the quality of the preamps.
