Re: Digi 001 Mic Pre\'s
I think you're missing the point a little, true the 001 is a project studio inferface, thus it contains a set of pre's (there just for convenience sake) but it is also made by a purly professional company, ever noticed how the 882 and 888 (Pro) interfaces don't have mic pre's? Thats because pro's will use their own pre's (that usually cost as much as an 888). Take it for what it is, either use the 2 built in pre's because they were included and it's convenient for you, or go by a couple channels of premium mic pre (whatever you can afford) it'll improve your sound tremendously.
P.S. if you are referring to the 1/4 inputs on the back of the Digi001, they sound "pathetic" because they aren't mic pre's, they are line inputs to the A/D converters (just like all the inputs on an 882 or 888), you have to use a mic pre to bring you signal up to line level to feed inputs 3-8. The only mic pre's on the Digi are 1+2.
