iv been wanting to get a preamp or two for my FP10 for a while now and iv narrowed it down to three. PreSonus eureka, Joemeek 6Q and art pro channel. i picked these because they are in my price range, have the features i need (compressor and EQ) and are available to me.

This is a follow-up from a http://www.recordin…"]previous post[/]="http://www.recordin…"]previous post[/] where I was asking questions about 500 series preamps.

I'm not sure it's OK to post this, and I usually post in the "pro video" forum here.

I am considering moving up from my average preamps to some more professionally acceptible models (starting with Solo 610 maybe).
The problem is All of the good preamps I am looking at only have 1 XLR out per channel.

I have a Line6 Toneport UX2 and a Behringer Xenyx 1622FX, and I've been thinking about adding a hardware preamp like a Grace Design Model 101 or a Universal Audio Solo/610/110, or even a channel strip like a PreSonus Eureka or dbx 376.

I have kind of a newbie question. I'm interested in doing some location
recording to a Mac using a PreSonus firewire preamp, but I need more than 8
inputs. I have a 12 channel analog mixer. Can I route the two channel output
from the analog mixer into two channels of the firewire preamp without
overloading the signal or causing other problems?

:D

I'm upgrading my studio. Have a M-Audio Firewire 410 interface that's been giving me all sorts of trouble (software interface is buggy, drops out and comes back garbled, etc.).

Been looking hard at the PreSonus Firestudio (8 XLR Pres, 26x26 total with the optical I/O - never used the optical I/O on the 410, but need to experiment with that...need cables yet).

Hey, I've been lurking around here for a little bit now and have a question for the general recording public.

How do you guys feel about the PreSonus XMAX preamps? Where do they fall in the grand scheme of mic preamps?

OK so I was told by Roland that their mic preamps are fine. BS.

OK so I was told that mic preamps don't mean all that. BS.

OK so I was told expensive mic preamps aren't necssary. BS.

I went by my instincts and electronics knowledge and spent a lot on pres.

I have a UA SOLO 610 and an LA 610, Great River ME-1NV and a Summit 2BA-221.
