I think its a good idea.
whether musicians want to use their service or not is irrelevent. And I don't think people should diss their business ideas so rudely.
It's ok for people to open business with new ideas. Einstein once said that you need imagination, not brains to make it.

Uncle Roel said:I'm smart, and I say chessrock is right! The damage is already done when you record thru the budget micpre, and sending it thru another micpre will not save it. The only thing it can do is add coloration and degrade your soundquality. I don't care about coloration on a track that sounds bad anyhow.[/QUOTE
I smart 2. I agree wit Chessrock 2. BTW, I'll be glad to run tracks through my shareware plug-ins for a nominal fee.

I thought they were renting out preamps and just marketing towards the home rec crowd. Genius, I thought.
Then I realized they are selling the concept of running your tracks that were recorded on a behringer through their preamps. Bullshit, I think.
The whole point of a high quality 'front end' is that it needs to be on the 'front end.'
I could see selling the ablity to run your tracks through a Distressor or Eventide Harmonizer. Hell, I would probably even pay a few bucks for that. To sell the concept with a preamp is just lame.

Yah sure.
Yah sure. Do they even have anything good to run it through. Maybe a C4 if your lucky.

Dingo, you started this thread with the best of intentions,
and that's admirable.
However...
Technically, Chessrock, et al, are correct.
Once the signal is compromised, it can never be the same as if
a high end pre was used from the start.
Some top level pro's, like Mixermann, will run things like multi-track
ADAT tracks through a 2" reel to reel, but that only will enhance
things. It won't be as objectively beneficial as starting out with
2" to begin with.

This is probably one of the greatest threads on this site i've read in a while...
Shiiiiit... This process is horrible for the signal quality. Here's an analogy i think is rather accurate...
You stare at you monitor, it looks good. You think "Hey, this would be sick if i filmed this with a tv camera!!" you film it, and despite the high quality of the tv camera, the idiosyncracies and the off timing of the camera combined with the refresh rate of the monitor enhance the natural flaws (refresh) that you don't see with your eyes...
You gotta' throw these things at the source. there's no way that even an Avalon can "guess" and create a Neumann sound out of a peavey mic through even a mackie console.
Good read... lol

Things like this make me want to puke!
I can't believe anyone with an ounce of common sense, never mind technical knowledge would fall for the idea that a pre amp can improve the sound of an already tracked sound.
Yes, it may impart some of the chracteristics of it's 'sound', but this would not be beneficial when you weigh up how much degredation it has also added to the signal.
I'm still stunned that I can whitness such stupidity.

I, for the most part agree. However, what if I were going for that "high end preamp colour on an already mixed track" sound? Would it still be wrong?

I would say if the original track was recorded on something very clean and transparent like my Buzz Audio pre, then running it through another coloured pre to add some of it's tone may be worth while, but there would be some negative distortions that would come along with the desired colouration. I'd say software amp modelling would be better.

This thread's not quite 6 years old... I think the record for dredging up old threads is about 8 years...
