Im trying to figure out what kind of mic to upgrade to but I'm having some trouble.
Im not sure whether i should spend a little more money getting a ribbon mic that seems really versatile or getting a much nicer condensor than the one I already have.

Hi. Just wondering, I saw this in another thread:

{old-link-removed}

This guy said this:

"I doubt you'll ever get a better A/D converter than what's in the API. It's about as good as they get.

Just a thought.

J"

Does that mean I don't need d/a converters when running mics through, say, an API 3124?

I record my Midi performances on my Yamaha Motif ES into a Sweetwater Creation Station DAW. I record with Sonar using an Edirol FA-66 soundcard (audio interface), and running Receptor with the Komplete libraries (which utilize Kontakt as a plugin soft synth within Sonar).

Hi,

I've just been offered 4 of these units and know nothing about them,

What are your thoughts on these preamps?

I know that there is no hard fast rule here, but I'm curious to know/hear of the different perspectives with regards to this topic.

I'm really considering investing heavily into preamps.

Hey guys, just wondering whether anyone is using seventh circle preamps with a MacBook Pro? i am contemplating an upgrade in a few months... and wondering what i would need to connect the preamp chasis to the macbook pro to have it working? any advice would be great.

My new interface is on the way. Now I'm deciding whether it's worth the $30 in shipping to get my Alesis paperweight back.

My question has to do with whether gutting the i/o26 and using its preamps as standalone hardware is a.) possible / b.) practical.

Hi there

Before I say anything else, I would like to point out that I searched but couldn't find anything useful with regard to specific gear I'm about to refer to here in relation to their comparison.

i just want some nice ones that give me full sound going into my converters. i don't want some eh pres, or some ultra mega pres, i just want some that won' t muddy up anything. you know, does that make sence. enough different colors, i just want great goin in.
