I am using a Fostex vf160 Multitracker.
I input all my instruments directly (guitars both acoustic and electric with effects pedal, keyboard, synt drums from the keyboard, electric bass etc ) and input the vocal mic directly which although I have to crank it right up I still manage to get a hot enough signal. I have a compressor which I use.
People keep saying we should all have a pre-amp as a basic requirement, but why? I seem to be getting reasonable results without one. What extra would a pre-amp give me other than a hotter signal on the vocal mic?
I am open to persuasion, just not been persuaded yet!
