Shipping Cost :$0
Feature:
there is a digital card option, which may be of use to users with lower quality A/D converters. the latency free monitoring is also quite useful though again, only if latency is already an issue in your system.
Quality:
usual focusrite build quality
Value:
v good value and some of the focusrite packages almost make it rude not to buy one.
Sound:
though i try not to add any processing at tracking stage, the VMPro gives you the flexibility to do just that with a fantastically transparent pre, or to mangle the sound as much as you like. the highlight for me is the de-esser which is so easy to use and sounds very effective and again transparent. the only downside is the expander which does seem to artefact the sound somewhat and so i would be loathed to use at tracking, but might be worth looking at for mixdown when it could be good for clearing up headphone spill or rogue click tracks. fantastic product.
Overall:
your expectations of equipment always change as you get more experienced and you get better at what you do, so ive no doubt that eventually i will demand more of this class of device, but for the moment im delighted.

Art Tube Mp Microphone Preamp (model 127) Microphone Preamps Art Recording Shipping Cost :$4.99 Feature: everything you need, pad, phantom... except maybe a vu meter would be nice. Quality: after several years of use, the 1/4 inputs will dissconnect ocasionally and the wire has to be "tapped" and the signal goes through again. but its lasted a long time, and still lasts. Value: Im probably going to buy another one when this blows. maybe with the VU meter this time. Desirability: It looks a bit dull...i wish it was more flashy looking...bright purple or something hehe Sound: Ive Used The Dbx 286, a couple different presonus ones, and several mixers, This Pre gives you the best cleanest sound for the price. If it was used In a professional studio...I doubt anyone would Notice It "sounds funny". really a clean and safe bet. there Is a TAD of noise when fully cranked, but really Hardly noticeable unless you tune in. a any simple Gate plugin will fix that. If ur looking for that real sound you hear on CDs, but dont have a busting wallet try this. Support: dont know never needed Overall: Overall Its a great product for the price. If you need a good tube pre for your vocals, Its as good as any out there for 2ice the price. Retail Price :$59 Review this product |

M-audio Audiobuddy Dual Microphone Preamp With Phantom Power And Direct Box Microphone Preamps M audio Recording Shipping Cost :$4.99 Feature: I really wish it had xlr outs w/ground lifts so it could truly be used as a direct box. But it has nice clean gain with mic AND instrument inputs. Quality: Its very well built. My only complaint in this area would be that the 1/4" jacks are board mounted only and not secured to the panel. This could become a problem after heavy use. Value: This product is worth what it usually goes for. Sound: It sounds fine for my application. Im using it as a bass preamp before going into a rack compressor and then into my Alesis Sumo 300. This setup works great. Without it, the Sumos impedance is too low and the amount of gain available would not be sufficient for a good signal. Ease of Use: It is very simple to use. Overall: Ill probably step up the M Audio DMP3 in a few months. Retail Price :$119.95 Review this product |
