Switches on tube gear - standby question

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

Antares Tube Preamp modeling

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?

Neumann u47/valve mics question

Forums

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?
