Yes, I know, another tired old what should i buy question....
but i think i've gone past the "using what i've got" stage of digital pc recording to where i'm ready to by some equipment, and need some help. i need a pre-amp, so i'll just list the ones i'm looking at and you can let me know what you think. i'm recording only myself into my computer, doing acoustic guitar stuff as well as vocals and hooking up my roland td-5 for drums.
here goes.....
1.)behringer Ultragain Pro MIC2200
this one looks good for the tube warmth it could create for my lifeless digital recordings. however ive noticed that people say that rack mont units tend to be noisier?
2.)behringer mx1604a eurotrack mixer
this one ive heard was quiet and also read this boasting in musicians friend. do i need all these nobs and sliders? are the pre-amp componants in mixers as good as a dedicated rack mount?
art tube preamp (the one for $100 bucks)
this seems to be the swiss army knife of musicians. it seems cheap enough, but can it hold up to the above units?
behringer mx602a eurotrack mixer
this is small, and looks to be all i need.
does the fact its smaller and cheaper than the mx1604a hurt it's quietness?
a free monkey on a stick to all who reply!!
thanks guys....
