I'm recording a really good vocalist. she has an AKG mic (maybe a C 3000? looks like that anyway), and an audio buddy. I have 3 potential preamps: The ones in my old behringer mixer (pre 'xenyx' or whatever they called the newer ones), a powered behringer mixer we use for our duo when playing live, and an m-audio fasttrack usb. OK so its all shit. but does anyone have an opinion which might have the most acceptable preamps?
Also we did a recording trial. I plugged her audio buddy into my M-audio audiophile usb input for the A/D stage, but it distorted. couldn't get the right level on the computer. I ended up using the behringer powered mixer (bypassing the amp obviously) as a preamp, and it worked fine. I can't understand why the audiobuddy didn't work right. Any thoughts?
thank you, oh wise ones!
