I going to purchase a pre amp next week. It will either be the Focusrite Voicemaster Pro or the Great River ME-1NV.
I realize there's price difference and I realize the VM pro is pretty much a one trick pony....but it's a very fucking important trick. The vocals must shine and this is the primarily reason I'm buying a new pre-amp.
Has anyone used the either preamp in combination with the RODE NTK before? I'd like to hear your thought on the subject if you have. The RODE NTK is a little silibant so I will probably need to buy a de-esser if I go with the Great River...an extra cost. BUT IT'S A GREAT RIVER! I've heard nothing but good things about how vocals turn out with the VM Pro and it has great de-esser, EQ, blah, blah, blah. I'm curious how the two pre amps would sound side by side (test driving these preamps isn't an option where I live).
Is the RODE NTK and the Great River ME-1NV a good match? Better than the other option?
