Hi there.
Im just putting the finishing touches to a youth club studio here in London.
Over the years I have gradually been getting thhem into the idea of playing instruments rather than just rapping.
We now have a decent sizzed live room adjoined to a pretty high end control room (certainly for a youth club).
I am looking for a decent mic pre that will double up as an instrument DI as well. I have a spare 2U slot in the exisitng rack.
I have been considering either the focusrite voicemaster pro or the TL Audio ebony A1.
Occasionally I can envisage a situation where we would want to DI both guitarist and bass player at the same time, so the Ebony beiing a dual channel option wins on that count. Also there is already a dual Drawmer compressor so perhaps the extra functionality of the focusrite is not so necessarry.
Has anyone got any suggestions that might help to sway me between these two? Or perhaps even something completely different.
This might seem a bit high end for a youth club, but I have worked with these young people for some time and the money is there.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Nick
