i tried this in newbies - didn't have much luck.
I've been recording for a while but I feel like this is a pretty dumb question. I'm recording onto a G4 with a motu 828 mk II using Digital Performer 5. I'm interested in upgrading my preamps and am looking for ways in which to do this. I was initially looking at the Mackie onyx series or the True Precision series, but after reading more I feel I might be ahead just buying a higher end stereo preamp. My question is, how do you get the pre-amp into the computer without losing or altering the sound quality. Does it go through the line level on the motu ?? Just not quite sure what to do here. Also, I guess I'm just looking for some help deciding what to buy. I am contemplating dumping the MOTU and upgrading to the 1200f Mackie but I just need to know more about the variables and how I can best make an upgrade.
Thanks,
Ben
