Default Re: Need help before I spend $$$$$

WEbstep,

Since it's the octopre, and you're willing to go for the Apollo quad, GO FOR IT! I would've gone that route, but a last, I needed 8 pres to start. I fell into the Octopre on Kijiji for a steal of a deal, as it was not originally in the business plan. Also for me, I needed the ability to track 16 ins live without relying on FOH pres and direct outs.

Lock that Octopre up to the apollo via ADAT, forget about getting an external pre and buy yourselves a sweet vintage large diaphragm tube mic for vocals, or save that cash :P

Let us know how it goes.
