i need 8 mic preamps

[orksnork]

hey guys...
im looking to step up my entire preamp situation...
i have a basic home recording set up and im doing very well for myself with it, as far as my personal music being recorded at my own will and time with my band, and as far as making really good money recording bands...
im looking to up my preamp situation

as of right now i want to step up to 8 new preamps, for the drum recording...

this is a lot of preamps and as of right now i can't really afford buying 8 rnp's...

i plan to spend a decent amount of money on a good single (or dual) channel preamp to use on the single track recording, but i need to do something about beefing up the drum tracks...

can you please give me some ideas...and a few different price ranges...
between say, for the 8, 800 bux and 2000 ?
thanks guys.

In the $800 and under range:

And in the $2,000 and under range, you can get two of these:

Either option is a bargain in it's respective price range. A good soundcraft board is a workhorse, and a worthy addition to a good project studio. The Sytek, in the right situation and the right hands, is worthy of professional/commercial level use at the highest level.

You would only need 4 RNP's not 8 BTW! I'm not saying this is what you should buy (never used one), but 4 of these are within your budget!

 

[Gidge]

1 RNP
3 Delta DMP3's

you should be able to get these under $1000




that Soundcraft board plus a RNP puts you right under $1100 and is a great option......and youll have 10 channels of preamp.........





4 RNP's keeps you under $2000 for 8 channels........

 

[Gidge]

that Soundcraft mixer plus a Great River ME-1NV keeps you under $1700..........

This one? I got the 2ch version, and it's very clear. I wouldn't recommend it for voice work, but for drums it should be fine.

Axe Music doesn't say what they charge, and the dollar is dropping, but it should be under the $800 mark.

Just as a heads up, you can get the M12 at Full Compass for the exact same price ($599).

I know nothing of the subject but doesnt the Aardvark Q10 do the job nicely?

 

[manning1]

why not

just build your own mic preamps. i can build 8 for about
160 bucks, and thats getting fancy.
its lots of fun. lots of schematics on the net.
just an idea.

 

[orksnork]

how good would these preamps be?

 

[darrin_h2000]

Ive had great results with the Yamaha MLA7

[darrin_h2000]

You are better off using your stock pres than that Hoontech crap.

 

[orksnork]
