Hey there friends! I'm interested in a pre-amp upgrade, but I'm wondering if it's worth it at this point or if I should just hold out for the next 20 years while I can save up for something that will actually be a leap.
I'm currently recording using one of the older model Focusrite Saffire Pro 26 i/o (the ones that were actually sapphire coloured). I also use an ART Digital MPA into the S/PDIF for 10 total inputs/preamps.
My question is. Are there any pre-amps worth getting that will sound better than the pre's built into my Saffire that will cost less than 200 per channel or should I just save up for some ISAs or something at this point? I definitely feel as if I'm pushing the limit as far as how good my recordings can sound, so I think I'll eventually need to upgrade, but an upgrade to more expensive gear is WAY down the line, so I'm wondering if there's something I can at the pre-amp level to make things sound better in the meantime.
Also, would getting anything like a BlueTube be worth my time either, just to have a few more tube channels for colouration? Or would using the built-in preamps be a much better idea?
Thanks friends!
