I'm looking for a nice 8 mic preamp unit with ADAT out for recording live gigs. I have some nice mic preamps at home (Avalon/Grace) and I don't intend these pres to be as good as those. I know my live recordings will not be as good as my other recordings because of the varrious rooms and track bleed. I will be feeding the ADAT into my MOTU 828mkII.

hello right now ive got a Mackie 1604 vlz pro i was looking for a desent preamp upgrade i was thinking of the grace 101 as i have heard good things about it. the pres in the vlz are really my highest quality, please help. my budget is around $500 though more could be scweezed if need be.

with all this talk of preamps i came acrosed this and was wandering if any one has used one or if they are any good?

Phonic - T8100 Tube Microphone Preamp

I'm trying to start a project/club at the high school where I work and am looking for your advice on an all in one solution for our recording and mastering needs. Basically a stereo (bypassable) mic preamp and compressor/limiter for under $2000. My students are mostly into hip hop and rnb.

I thought after reading many posts here I'd throw this out and hope to get some advice from the pro's around here regarding my personal situation.

I've been slowly building gear up in a personal studio and need a better mic preamp.

Current kit includes:

Hi friends

which one is better mic preamp in sound quality

1. summit 2ba-221 or TL Audio 5001 (I have a better deal on both) or
2. Focusrite ISA 220 or Avalon M5 (slightly over budget)

thanks & regard

using tritons etc, should i go through 2 mic preamp or direct box's, What is more common?

for more of a linkin park vocal sound, which mic preamp should i get?

hey! someone told me I ought to get a preamp in order to reduce the noise in recording instead of a console, since cheap consoles can be noisy. do you agree? what kind should I get if that's the case?

I currently use a MOTU 896 with Digital Performer 4 and I am less than happy with the preamps on the 896. I am looking at getting two channels of better quality preamps for recording rock music- guitar, vocals, drums. for less than $500. The PreSonus MP-20 caught my eye. Opinions on this preamp versus getting a DMP-3 or a couple VTB-1's. ?

Thanks.
