Mic Preamp - Quick Question

[Elton123]

I think the equation goes something like this:
70% YOU (the engineer)
22% Mic
8% Preamp
*Figures are approximate

+1 Well said. although I think the 8% becomes really fun when the other two are done well.

But if any one of the three is 0%, you have no result. But they have computers that can take the place of the engineer now. (or will shortly).

You mean EZ engineer? DAMN!
