I am basically wondering if hooking up a preamp via lightpipe to my 003 involves anything more than simply plugging it in and seeing the inputs in Pro Tools. Also, on a totally unrelated note, is it a good idea to track in Pro Tools, while mixing in another program, such as cubase, or will that not work? The reason I ask is because I have a greater selection of plugins on my Cubase rig.

Hey, I have a digi001 with Pro Tools and I need to record guitars with It. So What about the 2 PreMics that comes with it are they really good enough to get a pro sound of a guitar (I know it depends from a lot of stuff like mics guitar amps etc, just talking about Preamp now)

Anyone use or own the Universal Audio M610 or 610 solo preamps ?
What are your views on them ?

I'm looking for a preamp to bring some colur and warmth to vox and acoustic guitars. Going to be using AKG 414 and Neumann M149 mics

Hi,

I am a keen amateur and i am looking to purchase a bit of new equipment. At a push I can stretch to £500/$1000 (but if possible would prefer to spend less !)

Allright, good people. So I need some advice on what to do here. I'm recording in Protool LE with a Mbox. Using 2 RODE NT5s. Basically tracking some quiet acoustic tunes. I need to get a preamp for around 200. 2 channels so I can record in stereo. Some recommendations:
M-Audio DMP3
or
get one of the following and switch out the tubes...
ART TPS II

Hi - I'm recording mostly acoustic and vocals - sort of Neil Young-ish songs. In the past I've just gone directly into my ProTool LE with a PPA LD-1. I'm looking to buy a decent preamp to warm up and fill out the signal. Don't want to spend much more than 200. Is this possible, any good places to start? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Hey all, If I was to buy a DigiMax FS 8 Channel Mic pre, and wanted to record a bass straight into it, would I need to go through a DI first or can I just plug the bass into one of the DigiMax's Inputs on the back.

Thanks In Advance, Alex

I currently own an api 3124, an Avalon 737 and universal 1176. Im looking for a transistor pre that i can also well use for recording vocals cause i think the api is to punchy. I tried a Neve 1073 and think it sounds awesome but its to pricy, so they told me the AMEK 9098 was a colorfull pre that could work.

I was looking at the back panel of this Fender Pro Reverb,
and it has both Effects Send/Return AND PreAmp Out/In jacks.
I was wondering what circumstances the Effects Send/Return
would be used instead of the PreAmp Out/In.
Or if there is a situation where both would be used?
