Mic Pre amps
Well, reading online discussions about mic preamps online can be a frustrating experience. On one hand, you have people voicing their opinions about mic preamps And the mic preamps are often either really cheap low end mic preamps or high end mic preamps. It seems that there are those mic preamps in the $500 range or less such the FMR rnp, ART PRo VLA, Behringer tube t1953,M-audio p3, DBX and other units with the RNP at the top of the list. The next set of micpreamps are the highend mic pre's such as NEVE, API, Manley,SSL, Green River, DAV etc...the really good stuff, but new your looking at OVer $1000- $2000 for 1 or 2 ch models.
Out of curiosity I recall seeing guitarist Joe Satriani using a micpreamp in his protools HD , it turned out to be a Millennia Media STT-1 recording system which is in the $3k range.WOW!! thats out of my price range and this mic re includes all kind of solid state and tube options.
In any case, it turns out that mic pre's are so subjective , some people rave about the sound they get out of a $99 behringer rackmount 2ch mic pre or the ultragain 100 which is a $29 mic pre?!! ANd then not to mention the mic pre-s in the mackie mixer which some people really like. So there are a lot of choices out there. I would love to try out soem fo the se mic pre' s and record with them. So far, I have only tried mackie mic pre's and roland vs mic pre's and the mackie 32x8 8busss mic pre's sound best thus far. So we will see.....
