Mic Preamp For C 3000 B ....

I had the c3000 and thought it was a bad mic when it first came out and sold it cause of the harshness I kept hearing. Now I wish I had held on to it long enough to find out if it sounded as bad as running it through an analog recorder. I Bought mine when they first came out cause it was the only cheap large condencer you could buy at that time. Back then they where 500.00 new.
After beating my head against a wall for 3 years with it Im not so sure alot of the harshness I was hearing didnt come from Junk alesis adats, (the first ones) and
Crap Mackie preamps. Thats when all of the c3000,s got their bad name.

I dont think it was all of the mics fault.
Sadly there are those that are still using cheap digital recorders and cheap preamps like mackie. And the combination of the 3 is a ear splitter for sure.

SO HERM IM JUST WONDERING .. I DO ALL MY STUFF ON THE COMPUTER WHATS THE BEST PREAMP FOR THE AKG C 3000 B CONDENSOR MIC.. OR SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR A MIXER .. LET ME KNOW , I NEED TO GET A PREAMP AND OR MIXER ASAP. I HEARD THAT GETTING A MIXER IS BETTER CAUSE YOU CAN TWEAK AND ADJUST THE WAY THE SOUND IS.. IS THAT SO , I NEED YOUR PROFFESIONAL INPUT MY FRIEND
