https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=282439 if the chap who was talking to me about the EMU could help me out it'd be nice. Manual says drivers after turning it on... CD says before.. not sure if I need to turn off my sound card on my pc , either, well, above is the thread, wasn't...

Hey - I can't get my pc to recognise my Emu... what is infuriating is that the manual on the cd says to install the drivers then plug the emu in, the BOOK says to plug it in then install the drivers so that's what I've done. I have a couple of problems: I can hear my mic in my emu via my...

I was referred to the Rode NT-1a. Don't know if that's an option for you. Got a stand and cradle bundle from gak.co.uk, but the cradle is faulty, not entirely amused.. :P

ok thanks for your patience :)

Ok looks like I'll be getting an EMU then :P

From what I'm reading the TC Konnekt got reviewed pretty badly. The EMU seems very popular. Shame, the DMP-3 got 9 and 10/10 most places I looked, the EMU seemed to be getting 7/8s. I'm sure it's good though.

I thought it would be USB. It does sort of, so I won't be buying the DMP-3, it will be the other, is it similar quality?

Ooof... I was led to believe a pre-amp was an audio interface, just another name for it. I'm recording using my PC if that's relevant. Could someone explain to me the difference between audio interface and pre-amp?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110379147741 MPA gold but that's from the states.. lord knows what postage will cost, plus the fact the power will probably be wrong?:confused: It's much cheaper then here though. £280 pounds for it here...this works out at about the same as...

thanks I'll check it out :)

thanks a lot guys. Will place the order. It's only £20 over budget so I'm happy if it's going to last... Now I need to improve the acoustics in my bedroom. Eek. I have carpet. Will a big ol' slab'a'wood help? I mean if I put one underneath me.

That's what I want really. Realised after spending 140 on a mic I didn't want a shitty partner preamp and not get a good sound out of it. Worth my 170 pounds you think then?

thanks. It's a little high for my budget (bout 20 pounds over) but it seems great. will be over £170 to get it delivered to me. If anyone else can reassure me, no doubt I'll fork out if it means I'm going to notice the difference between 140-150 and 170. :eek: I wonder also, if I string my...

Hey all. Having some trouble sifting through the hundreds of different pre amps to find the right one for what I'm doing. I bought a Rode NT-1 condenser to get some proper recordings done and realised my mixer didn't have phantom power. So I need an audio interface/Pre-amp. I was recommended...
