right now I have an allen&heath mix wizard and no outboard pre's. I went with the A&H because I heard it had great pre's, and i does- it sounds great- very clean, with great EQ. i hear all these discussions about "what is a good 8 channel preamp to buy"... etc and im a little confused.
what is that advantage of outboard units? (By outboard i mean something that screws into a rack and has knobs instead of faders, and possibly has tubes inside, or the word "tube" written on it) if used in conjuntion with a mixer, would you run them line in to the mixer?
At this point (for me) would I only add an ouboard pre to my setup to add variety and color to my recordings, or am I missing out on something really big here?
please be nice.
thanks!
