Help choosing 4 channel mic preamp and other hardware
Hello, everybody. First of all I would like to say recording.org is probably one of the best, most impressive and serious websites I have ever seen. ROCK ON!
I know there have been a lot of people before asking the same kind of question, but anyway I'll a give it a shot...
choices, monitors, mics, preamps
Hi! I've just gotten into recording recently. I'm running a 2.53 Ghz Celeron, 256 megs RAM (need more, but it works!), using a Creative Soundblaster external USB device to get audio into my PC. Actually, I've got my old Tascam 424 mkIII as a pre-amp (lol), going from the RCA line outs on that into the SB device.

help needed with a preamp decision
Hi everyone
i'v been saving some $ for pre and I was thinking of the Great River MP2 MH. i was going to buy it, but now i saw a Focusrite ISA 215 for 2000$.
my questions is:
is it a good deal ?
there's the advantage of the eq, but is it a good preamp ? i'v done my search at the forum and there is nothing on it

TC Electronic Gold Channel
Hi
i have an opportunity to pick up an TC electronic Gold Channel for 750 bucks in perfect shape. i have never heard one before and will not really have a chance to try it.
i am looking for another Pre to go with my M5 and this will give me a stereo option
if anyone has used this i would love a review of it and whether or not 750 is a good deal
thanks

Hi everyone!
I'm quite new to this forum, and really to whole recording business. (I'm also sorry to throw in another mic preamp-question!) I own a small project studio and I produce mostly stuff for TV & Radio (themes, jingles, commercials, etc.).

first "nice" preamp groove tubes "brick"
So i got the brick the other day and i only had a chance to work with it at a friends studio since all my gear is on location where I am doing recording for a band. We ran an AKG c1000 thru the brick on acoustic guitar and on vocals. We ran the signal straight from the brick into his aardvark and also thru the board into the aardvaark for additional gain.

PREAMP Questions
I just converted my studio to digital ... and I am looking for advice on my pre-amp setup. I have 2 Focusrite octepre's, I am being told that I should just use them and that I basically have no need for me AMEK 9098 and my Focusrite Voicebox MKII.
I am assuming that is correct, just wanted to get your opinion prior to putting them on eBay.
Thanks All !
Leo
