I just ran my gear thru a shootout to see what sounds best to my ears and is non-biased as I can be, as I dont really care....but I do expect more from more expensive stuff.
in short I plugged the Fender P-Bass into:
1)Interface DI
2)Interface DI with Realtime Plugins
3)JDI into MicPre/Interface
4)JDI into Cloudlifter into MicPre/Interface
5) JDI>Cloudlifter> MicPre/Interface >Realtime plugins
6) 73Pre into interface(line in)
7) 73Pre into KT2A (line in)
8) JDI>Cloudlifter>Outboard preamp> Interface /Line IN
**my least fav's 1,3,4,6 were the "missing something" group.
being older Ill use a Beatle analogy...
its like #7... the 73/KT2A gets up to the Rubber Soul album...where things were straight forward and cleaner in a compressed way, ...analogish....plugin, hit record an play.
Then theres #5 & #2 ..the PlugInAmpSim approach that can offer Revolver, SgtPepper through MMT. ...flangers,verbs triple comps,eq, wahwahs telephone voice wangyflungshinz noises... (the PluginAmpsim can also do AbbeyRoad cleaner, with rich chamber verbs) and offers more technical stuff like RECALL, SAVE AS and all that.
food for thought...pondering in gear land...
