Can someone explaine what the differance between the Focusrite isa 428 and the red 1 are. I mean other than the price.

I have put together a basic recoring studio in a small room at home, it's not the best size or shape for a studio but.

I currently do most of my recording using the preamps on my Soundtracs MRX console, but I was wondering if I might get a better sound buying a seperate 4-channel preamp, maybe the Sytek MPX-4Aii ? (at least something in that price range)

I have an old TEAC 3340S I dont yuse it from ten years now, this weekend I plug a Senh 421 in and I compare with my Sebatron vmp-2000 and my Studioprojects VTB-1, the Sebatron have a more full and warm sound, the VTB-1 his thinny and a bit harsh, the 3340 have a nice sound, less bass then the Sebatron but he have a warm sound and that give me four extra pre free.

Im searching for a decent Preamp the only thing holding me back from something 'great".

is Low budget!

price range is $600 max.

I seen a few cheap ones,but all of the stories of Behringer scare me!

I just need it for vocals i suppose...

something thats better than the digi 001's
inconjuction wth a AI3

thanks for any tips.

Would there be any difference in the mic preamps on the aardvark q10 compared to the PreSonus firepod?

Hello

yup another one of those 'what preamp shall i buy' topics..
But my question is subtly different..
I have a Focusrite platinum voicemaster right now, i use the eq normally, then run through a urei1178 ..With a condenser I'm getting pretty nice vocal sounds, and my dynamic guitar sound is fairly o.k.
BUT. .I have just bought a Shure SM7B dynamic mic, for rock vocals

Hi everyone, just got an account here because this site seems to have great users that are very knowledgeable with lots of gear. I hope some of the user's can hep me here. I'm currently selling a lot of my gear and have around $2000 to $3000 to spend on a quality mic preamp or some type of DI to get me the sound I need.

What's the world's best tube-based preamplifier & why?
