    new preamp? sub $160?

    the tube-pre wans't bad but it wasnt as god as the vtb-1 in the similiar price range. i like the Dmp3 because its 2 mic pres in one affordable unit. but the vtb-1 is a beast for bass line in. maybe ill get thr dmp3 then buy a vtb-1 in a bit

    Audio Interfaces?

    the uca-202 is a great deal i also used to own and use a Lexicon Alpha. the lexicon is 80$ vs the behringers 30$. id still pick the uca over the alpha for your needs.

    Audio Interfaces?

    i used to use a uca-202 to connect my behringer xenyx mixer to my laptop. for the price it worked pretty well, sounded clear and i liked it. as far as craigslist goes, just be smart. i buy an sell gear on craigslist a fair bit and its a good deal. just make sure to tell someone where your going...

    please help

    what are you outputting through, headphones, monitors, or computer speakers? that could be the source of the problem, or perhaps toss on an expander which will help get rid of low level noise. (always helpful while recording as well, id reccomend looking into one).

    Weak signal from audio interface mic pre?

    that could be the case, seems high enough output though. i cant pinpoint anything here that might be the cause, hmm.

    my acoustic mix opinions

    thanks guys. yeah i am no means a piano player, just messing around with it. and i do agree its a simple tune a bit too simple for me even but i used it as the music for a radio commercial i was working on. after listening a few times i can defiantly hear the boomy acoustic. gotta work on that

    ProFire 2626 vs FireStudio 2626

    the firestudio is a bit cheaper than the profire. ive used a profire once with logic and it was pretty nice, i like the pres, were pretty warm. never used a firestudio (im a firepod owner). ive used cubase and protools and wouldn't think protools learnng curve is that steep to be honest. it...

    Weak signal from audio interface mic pre?

    to my knowledge you shouldn't need a pre amp, i run a mlx v88 or 991 into a firepod and it can pick up acoustic well, granted i need the gain up a bit more than with vocals and such. maybe the m3 is a lower output than my mxl's im not sure.
