Hey everyone,
After decades of reading on this forum (starting about an hour ago), I have narrowed my low-budget search for a compressor/preamp to these three contestants:
Joemeek's ThreeQ
Presonus Studio Channel
Focurite TrakMaster
If YOU were stranded on an island with nothing to do but record music in a studio set up by a poor college student, which of these apparatus's would you choose and why? Within the same price range ( < $400), would you recommend any others?
For the record (pun intended....so laugh), I am currently using an ART TubePac preamp/compressor and am not too happy with the sound. It seems that the minute I get the right output level, the tube punches quality in the face and I end up with a tin-can kinda feel that makes me want to throw a rock at an innocent bystander....and I'm not the violent type.
So please, do your part to better society and give this poor soul some advice!
Thanks so much,
Michael
