list your PreAmps that you use or Recomend

Well I just got a firepod, and ran a question in my mined. For whatever reason I can not figure it out. So how would I gop about hooking a preamp up to the firepod. Would I got Spdif in? I mean there is no "pre" preamp insert. Everyother input would run though the firepod preamps. I think I'm just stupid. Someone please explain.

Hey guys,

Ive recently received an offer by a decent local band to record their first official EP. Steping up to the challenge would mean id need to fork out some cash on more gear, at present I'm using Pro Tools M Powered using a delta 1010 card.

Hello all, I'm interested in buying a mic preamp and don't have a large budget (unfortunately) but I've come across the PreSonus Blue Tube DP mic preamp. The online reviews seem to be mostly positive. However I was wondering if anyone here has any expirence with it or other PreSonus mic preamp's. I'll be running it into my Digi 002. Thank you!

I record either classical music(from soloists to Chamber Quartets, to full on symphony/choir performances). Or acoustic music ( bluegrass groups, Gospel Quartets, jazz bands,)This is all done on location. I use schoeps CMC6/Mk4/mk2S, Gefell M930s, an AKG C426b, and Neumann u87s.

I was looking for some advice for mic preamps. I am looking for a well rounded preamp that would be good for metal (distorion) and Vocals. My budget is around $2,000. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, any advice on the preamps that have a eq feature on them too would awesome.

Hello! I am a new member to this community and a newbie :roll: in the recording arts and music production.

I really like using this on my voice. It seems to work fairly well.

I have heard that dynamic mics are affected much more strongly by preamps than condenser mics because the gain change required is so much greater.

This leads to two questions:

1) Will a better mic preamp fundamentally change the sound of a 57?

and

I apologize for my newbie question.

Up until now, I have only been recording by plugging my mic directly into my digital recorder.

What exactly will a preamp do for me? (for vocals, acoustic guitar)

I'm just looking for a decent one around $150 or even less.

Many thanks for any info.

My band is going up to http://www.studiometronome.com to record our drum tracks on an SSL... We're taking everything back to my house for overdubs.
