Re: Mic Preamps....PLEASE HELP!!!!!
well I'm not looking for tha board to really do any processing....To be honest I really don't know what to look for in a "good" board.....I can do most of that in PT.....I just want good mic pres.....at least 8 direct outs......at least 8 channels.....perferably 16......what else is involved or should I look for......Basically what I'm trying to do it run what ever I'm doing weather it separating my tracks or recording vocoals......into tha board.......and then into PT.......

Does anyone know if the Fat Man 2 Rad 5 sounds like the Rad 10. If so, that Pre with it's built in comp would be great for a small studio. I love pre-sets

First off, at $1000 it's already more than the cost of the 001, so you are spending more money... there goes that theory. Secondly the AD conversion and analog quality of the Focusrite Octapre is vastly improved over the 001, just listen. Bottom line is listen and compare. Don't buy according to price, thinking (paying) more is getting more. Hope this is helpful. |

Re: Mic Preamps....PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Mikchek, check out Mackie's classic CR1604-VLZ. You mentioned 16 channels and 8 channel direct outs. This board has them as is fairly cheap. It seems you need simplicity and this board has it and the Mackie pre's sound great. I am assuming you don't need the direct outs to be in a digital format (ADAT, for instance) and you mentioned no need for processing so a digital console may be overkill for you. Good luck!

Speaking from experience, Using Avalon 737 and Octopre. Anyone who bashes the sound of the octopre probably hasnt heard it or tried it out themselves. Contempt prior to Investigation is a Disease of our culture.

Re: Mic Preamps....PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I think that because I have hear and used it and it blows away the digi preamps and converters.
I've used other Focusrite products that also are great. So have many others. It's not about how much it costs, it's about how good is sounds. Hope this is helpful. |
