Hi,

I am looking into buying a single channel mic preamp. I have $500 to spend. I have been trying to research mic preamps for a long time, but got tired as I have little experice with pres, dont know whats good whats bad.

what are some good external preamps from 100-500 $ range? (pref. tube preamps)

what are some good external preamps from 100-500 $ range? (pref. tube preamps)

I have checked out the DMCLs recently. They are not bad. Does anyone know whether the send/returns are balanced or not?

I am thinking of buying that thing but still hesitate. The compressor is neither very good nor very bad, IMHO. Do you think it would be a good decision getting it and adding a decent eq into the path (any options?)?

Hi,

First of all a big greetz to all ! GREETZ !
(well it's kinda big :P)

Anyways I'm the new kid on the block and why not begin with a idiotic request :p:

I'm wondering if I could hear the difference between a good and a bad pre-amp ( or between 2 different pre-amp's ).

So does anyone have sound files where you can clearly hear the difference?

Is there anything that would top a pair of "Brick" preamps for the same money?

Hi everyone, Im looking into some preamps and I want extra inputs at the same time, Im recording through a Digi 002 Rack so I need decent preamps and extra inputs through the optical input.

Ive seen the following:
PreSonus Digimax LT
PreSonus Digimax 96
Some Foscusrite

Is more preamp needed?My plane is Sebatron vmp-2000 or 4000, and buy Joemeek SC2.2 and Final got the FATSO. Is VMP4000 needed? or buy vmp-2000 and buy other Brand Preamp? P.S. I got a English custom DI Preamp also. Why a lots people got a lots different pre? Never enough for pre? Thanks for advice

What have you heard of the quality of the VT-737sp combo? Is it as good as seperate pre-amp and compressor from avalon?

What do you think about the Focusrite Twintrak Pro and the Voicemaster Pro? Also, what does the vintage harmonics on the Voicemaster Pro do?
