Hello,
I had planned on heading out today to pick up an M-Audio DMP3 pre-amp, but just wanted to ask a question first. Other than the added number of tracks, how would something like the small little Yamaha MG102 mixer compare to the DMP3 in terms of sound quality? I have one of those Yamaha Porta Studio tape units and it seems pretty damn noisy to me (just the unit itself, not when playing back on tape), so I don't know if this is true for all Yamaha gear in this low price range. Since the PortaStudio has phantom power, would it serve the same purpose as the MG mixe, thus making the MG a needless purchase?
For now, I couldn't see myself needing more than two tracks at once, but the extras are always nice to have on hand. If there would be a marked difference in sound quality I will go with the DMP3. Thanks!
