I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but since most of my posts are analog related and I will be using it on my analog mixer/deck...
I was wondering what some good choices are for a new or used preamp.
I don't want to go over $200.00, which I'm sure limits my choices a lot.
My typical vocal and acoustic guitar recording setup is:
Studio projects B1> FMR RNC compressor> Mackie 1642vlz pro Mixer (but for EQ I'm using a Tascam PE-40)>to a Fostex M80.
I'm happy with the sound I'm getting already...but would like to see how a different preamp would work in there.
Some prospective choices are:
-Rane ms1b
-Electro Harmonix 12AY7
-FMR Realy Nice Preamp (if I can find a good deal used)...definitely like that it's 2 channel!
I tried a "modded" ART Tube MP (upgraded tube and op amp) and didn't care for the results on vocals.
Open to suggestions...
