which preamp? ART Tube MP, PreSonus Bluetube?

[martidoh]

I'm heading off to buy a preamp tonight. I use a Rode NT1, AKG C1000S and Marshall V67M, going into an SB Live card.

Which preamp is a good one? Am I better off buying a preamp like the ones above or a two-track mixer?

Thanks!

For my ears, the Art Tube Mp is better......

Tube MP...

I used a Tube MP with a 414 for a Discovery Channel voice over. It was a last minute addition, the studio I worked for was the only Pro-Tools equipped studio that could do it in time, (and it was a basement studio) and I had to match the tone made by a mic pre and 414 from a major league studio. It was very close, much closer than the voice talent thought it would be, and from what I understand, he knows his sh*t. So i would give it a shot, for the price, you can't beat it....

The masses have spoken! Get the MP Studio, it has a meter that is pretty valuable.
