I'm a little giddy about writing this, but were looking at hiring some high end pres for a tracking sessionwe have coming up. There is not too much out there in Melbourne and my options are pretty much limited to
GML 4 x Pre
Neotek (only two channel)
API x 4
I am after four channels, and the cheapest option is to go for one box with four pre's, wer'e only hiring the unit for two days. Anyway, I am not really sure of the model numbers yet, and being that its 9am on a Sunday morning (yes I live in the future), I can;t really call these places right now to find out!
Wer'e going for a fairly dry and punchy sound. Kind of a clean garage rock thing. The pre will be used for everything except snare. Songs will have a maximum track count of 8, so I'm not really worried about using just one type of pre.
Anyway, I have no idea what these pre's sound like! I hate using those musically descriptive terms, but punchy/focused (albinish) comes to mind, as apposed to warm. The main vocals are going to be mostly tracked with a Shure 545... Thats all I can think of really.
Either way I think any of them would sound fantastic, I just have no idea which would be best for my situation.
