One of you guys pointed me towards the ART Tube Preamp (single channel) that sells for about $100. There is also a dual channel model for $200. However, there's a single channel tube preamp with a built in compressor for $200.
What's the best way to go there? I'm doing software compression AFTER recording. If I was to purchase the model with the compressor, it should help quite a bit with vocals, yes? Right now I really have a problem recording a wide dynamic range when singing. I have 2 settings: Scream and whisper...so the softer stuff is eaten up by noise or the louder stuff clips
Also, would I use this unit for micing my guitar (electric and acoustic)? In other words, can it replace my crappy mixer if I'm only using one mic at a time (which is typical)? Or would I be better off saving that money to buy a good mixer?
This of course all goes back to my microphone questions. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a mic when my mixer sucks.
I appologize for beating all of this to death. If we were talking about computers then I could research on my own, but I have very little experience with this crap and want to make a decision that offers the most bang for the buck.
