naw...
i think this issue has already been discussed, but damn,
it takes too long to find the page since there's no search button anymore...
i had a discussion today about preamps and "colored" sound,
a friend of mine wants to get him a "Tube preamp" so it makes the sound of his recordings warmer,
most of the time he records BASSguitar straight into his MOTU828 or trough his mackie mixer, he also records his guitar
he says he finds the sound of his moto to sound a little "cold" and would like to warmen up the sound with "a tube preamp", he asked me : "got any suggestions?"
nope...
all i could say is: i get nice results from my joemeek stuff, but i don't have any tubes in my entire rack space...
his budget is around 600 EURO, thats around $700 i guess,,,or little less
doesn't have to be dual channel or stereo, thats a good thing, heh,
so what kind of preamp or channel strip would you say that REALLY colors the sound? ...makes it warmer....
-------just wanna add this,,,another guy joined the discussion and said: "focusrite has some nice stuff....and they're giving a 40% discount on all focusrite producs at this store..." (no he does not work at that store , nor does he try to promote it....he just thinks he likes focusrite i guess...)
naw,,,i never heard or saw focusrite equipment in real life,
anyone got something to say about it? in general?
thanx Alot,
