Help with setup using DP-01 and Bluetube Pre amp

[youngdrill]

I have a Tascam DP-01, MXL 990, Behringer 502 Mixer, Bluetube Preamp and seperate phantompower supply.
I am having trouble with how I am supposed to set this up, when I connect everything that I have together it is extremely loud. I see the bluetube has phantom power but the mic input is 1/4" and that can't power a condensor mic.

How I have it is MXL 990>Phanton Power Supply>Behringer 502 Mixer>Bluetube Preamp>Tascam DP-01.

Where am I going wrong and how to fix it, I am pulling out my hair right now.

y do you need the mixer??? y do you need a preamp???
The Tascam DP-01 plus the external phantom power is all you need...

 

[youngdrill]

with just the mic phantom power and dp-01, it does not put out a the clear sund that im looking for.

what do you wanna record? the end result has much to do with positioning the mic,using EQ, the performing etc...say what you wanna record and mayb post a sample

I think it's one preamp too many.

Either you work with the
mic>phantompwr>DP01(pre/input)
or
mic>phantompwr>mixer>DP01
or
mic>phantompwr>Bluetube>DP01

Presuming your mixer has inbuilt preamps, you're getting a double amplification going thru the |mixer>Bluetube| stage.

I think you decide exactly if you need the mixer alone, or bluetube alone, using mic/phantompwr and DP01's inputs, which also have built-in preamps, presumably dialed down to minimum (line level).

I thought the dp-01 was lacking effects and phantom power....if this is correct, you will need the phantom power supplied by your pre-amp....if the pre-amp has phantom power and 1/4" phone inputs only, you'll need to get some 3 connector 1/4" phone plugs on your mic cables in order to connect to it....
