I'm curious to know if I understand the recording process and if my setup is correct. Right now I have a 4 unit rack with 2 slots open. I have a Focusrite Clarett 8pre and a Power Conditioner in the rack. I haven't purchased a compressor because I'm not sure if the signal chain needs a preamp. If so, then I will most likely add an ART TPS II Tube Preamp and an ART Pro-VLA II. If I understand the signal flow i will go:
1. Mic
2. Preamp
3. Compressor
4. Clarett
I'm trying to keep costs down and the only reason I got the Clarett 8pre was when I was about to order the 4pre for $599 I saw that amazon had the 8pre for $650! Plus I already had a the rack so it worked out. My setup is mainly to record commentary but I do occasionally get a few musicians dropping by. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
