Hi there. Been searching for a while now but can't decide so please help me out here.
What would you pick between a Langevin DVC or two Great River ME-1NV preamps, for micing acoustic guitar (Taylor, bright but full) with 2 KM184's?
Looking for a modern, clean sound, wide sound field, very encompassing for slower acoustic ballads, and layerable for multiple parts.
Assume no other outboard processing is allowed. Mics -> GR/Langevin -> DAW/Interface.
Other ideas would be fine. Basically what I am wondering is whether the improved quality of the Great River preamps is worth giving up the outboard compression and limiting functions of the Langevin. I can only afford one stereo setup and it needs to work really well on acoustic guitar. It will also be doing double duty on drum overheads, piano, and whatever else I feel like recording in stereo.
If you don't like the KM184's then chime in with some other SDC's.
Thanks all.
