Alright well, I am a hiphop artist, and I am just going to be recording vocals, and I have a Groove Tubes GT 55 Condenser Mic, and I got the Tascam US-122 soundcard.
I actually had the PreSonus Tubepre at one point, but return it got a all in one unit(preamp, compressor and eq) but I am quickly realizing that the all in one units arent as good as seperate units.
I was just gonna go out and get the PreSonus tubepre again, but I was searching the internet and found out about the Studio Projects VTB-1. I know that the PreSonus is proven, and I can vouche for it, but I heard nothing but good thing about the VTB-1. In the reviews of the tubepre, some people even said to get the VTB-1 instead. I am torn, which one should I go for? I am looking for clear and crisp vocals with some thickness to them.
Now about the compressor, I heard goods things about the Alesis 3630, but its two channels and all I really need is one, but if its the best at the price I might just get it regardless, is there one like it with one channel? or any recommendations on a good compressor around the price of the Alesis 3630?
