I'm talking about a 3 way switch with standby on the bottom, off in the middle & on is up.

to go from standby to on you have to move through off. I was told that it was off so briefly that it did not matter.

Seems like off, standby, on is a better way.

Please edumacate me on whether this matters or not.

Thanks

I don' t mean any cheap starved plate jobs.

What do you expect from a GOOD tube mic preamp?

What do you want to hear from it when you audition it?

What features are must haves?

Thanks
:lol:

i'm looking to add warmth to my vocals. any ideas under $300 new/used?

Hi,

I have Sebatron vmp-2000e and have been reading about others swapping the tubes in it. I would like to know what some of the recommended tubes would be, and any other experiences as far as swapping the tubes.

thanks,

I have a TL Audio C1 preamp/compressor.
I just love what it does to my bass patches. My NL2 is permanently patched in channel A, my SE-1x channel B. The *only* thing I dont like about it is that there's no output trim control so I have to be careful not to clip the converters when I'm overdriving the signal. Not a deal breaker.

Hey guys, I was wondering about Antares Tube Preamp modeling. But I have no idea what a tube preamp is... I was very happy with Antares Microphone Modeling (which actually turns my 100 dollar Behringer B-1 into a Neumann U47).

So can someone please explain to me please in the simplest of ways what this Tube Pre-amp modeling will do to my vocals?

i found this vintage single channel pa system in a second hand store... i want to use the preamp to see if it sounds any good for recording. The tubes seem to be in good condition they look pretty new so i dont think theyt are original. 10 bucks so i said why not.

I was out replacing an old crate head and cabinet the other day and I must have spent 4 hrs in a few different stores and tried out anything 50W and up. Anything and EVERYTHING!

I am currently looking for a really nice mic to invest in. I would like to keep the price low but for nice I know that really isn't a option. I used a mic at a friends studio a while back for synths and vocals called the Neumann u47. It was made somewhere around the 50's. I am trying to find something of similar variety. Does anyone happen to know anything about RODE mics?

I originally posted this in the Pro Audio forum, but this might be a better place for it...
