Advice for choosing the right (budget) FOCUSRITE
Hi friends!!
I do need and advice for choosing the best model from FOCUSRITE, to fit my necessities. I wanted a processor capable of acting as a mic pre, compressor, de-esser, and some nice eq, with mic pre and line input for keyboards. The choices I have been studying but that up to now I have not decided to buy are: PENTA ($495/$400) Platinum Voice master ($675/$530) Track Master ($450/$400) Tone factory ($400) Besides, I have also examined the new Roland MMP2 which has two mic inputs and 96K digital out, which would be an interesting front end for PT HD for only $695. Any comments on this? Thanks again!!!! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Advice for choosing the right (budget) FOCUSRITE
I have some friends using Focusrite Silver range products and they all regreted buying the silver range.
For the price range, you might be needed to check out the follows : Grace 101, 201 mic pres, Jomeek all-in-one series. And to find some deessor and comp./limit. from dbx series to use with the Grace series. If you're using PT HD, you should buy better Mic-Pre or DI and to use Waves plug-Ins for the deessor/comp./limit. stuff. When you have more budget, you can then choose some outboard gear. In my opinion, most of the low-budget outboard sounds no better than the plug-ins. Just my 2Cs, No offense ! |
