    Studio Projects VTB-1 or M-Audio DMP3

    I had both the DMP3 and VTB1 and kept the DMP3. Both are excellent but I found the DMP3 to be a little cleaner and offered a little more detail.

    Which preamp for Acoustic?

    I still find the DMP3 surprisingly good and have heard some fantastic acoustic guitar recordings made with one of these on here. The Audient Mico is also another excellent option. As for single channels the Grace M101 and True Systems P-Solo are excellent options.

    Ribbon Mics and Pres

    I owned an ART MPA Gold and upgraded the tubes to NOS Telefunken and GE 5 star. I wouldn't recommend the ART pres for ribbons or dynamic mics as they are the noisiest I've tried. The DMP3 has much less noise.

    Adam A8x or Acoustic Energy AE22's?

    I read a recent review of the Adam A8x's and the reviewer said that the A8x's would be more suitable for midfield monitoring instead of nearfield? Also, I've noticed that there has been quite a few niggles with these monitors which has put me off them! Looks like I'll be getting the AE22's!

    Adam A8x or Acoustic Energy AE22's?

    Hi, I'm looking for a new set of monitors and have whittled my choice down to either the Adam A8x or Acoustic Energy AE22's. I will be mixing quite a wide range of music styles from acapella choral, jazz, rock, soul and gospel. My room is 3.5m x 3.2m. I have heard the AE22's here before and...

    A good, mid-budget studio setup

    Which version of Cubase are you using? I'm using Cubase 5.5.1 with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP and am very happy!! What spec do you need from the interface (Ins/Outs, midi, ADAT, spdif, preamps etc)?

    help with preamp

    Within your $200 budget the DMP3 and Rane MS-1s preamps are the way to go! I had a VTB1 and DMP3. I ended up selling the VTB1. Also, as already pointed out, the DMP3 can be modded at a later date to further enhance it's sound!
