Hey everyone...
I would really appreciate everyone's input on this essential yet over discussed topic. What pre does everyone recommend for my following needs:
Budget about $999-$1999
Connects to Digi 002 rack
Mics- Shure SM57, Shure KSM22 condensor, Sennheiser MD421 MKII U4, pair of matched Rode NT5 condensors
DI Box- Radial JDI
***Using to track:
1.) Direct Bass, bass amp ambient room micing (usually use one of the rode condensors)
2.) Some acoustic guitars - Use the KSM on the sound hole and one of the Rode NT5's on the neck (doesn't sound that great)
3.) Very light vocals - Shure KSM
4.) Electric guitars -micing a mesa boogie half stack, a vox ac30 combo, and I want to have the direct recorded tracks layed down simultaniously. I plan on using the 57 and MD421 against the cab for heavier guitar sounds, and the 57 with the KSM22 about 3 feet back for cleaner sounds.
****Currently I use a 2 channel Aphex 207 tube pre, but I need to upgrade. Would I need something like 4 channels for this (three mics and a DI) so I can leave them connected at all times? If so how can I connect all 4 to the Digi002r? Right now I got my aphex to the 'analog 5 and 6', so if I got something like the Focusrite MH441 would I use the SPIF for the additional channels? Any mic upgrades recommended for my tracking needs?
***** Any and all posts will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you in advanced!!!
