I'm looking for a preamp to be used mainly for vocals; but, the tracking is to be done using a korg d1600mkII, not a pc or soundcard/interface. I'm not going for anything near perfection, just a step up from the pre's in the korg multitracker.
What I still don't get (and I searched a bunch of threads before posting this) is whether I'll essentially be mixing two preamps if I were to use an external pre into the korg? even if I turned the gain all the way down? What if i got a pre that has digital outs - would that defeat the purpose?
More importantly though, regardless of signal mixing, would this allow me to add some grit/color/character to vocals if I got a higher quality pre and used it with a multitracking box? I know the price question always comes up in matters of the preamp - I can't spend more than $500 on this pre. i guess that rules out what used to be my top choice (safe sound)...
