heheh, no offence to your hearing or taste intended! It probably sounds nice, but I question the value of buying one ahead of getting better gear, unless you have one lying around anyways.hydrogen wrote:before you guys slash on using pre-amps on your signal... which pre-amps have you tried on your signals?
I bought the amp for my condenser mic and it made a world of difference there... especially compared to vocals. I've been experimenting with different inputs on my RME and everything... and personally i like what the pre-73 does to the sound of the mbase11. There is probably more too it though and I haven't done any real A/B stuff but just knowing what i'm recording i'm able to get the kick to set in the mix better when its through the pre. Cheers!
I guess the most important thing is how you feel about it yourself. Even the science behind sound equipment can be meaningless compared to how you actually feel about the sound. Most engineer types that I know have laughed at me when I say I am using old technology like vacuum tubes or magnetic tape.
I think the logic of putting a line level signal into a gain stage is not strong enough to justify spending money on a tool like this ahead of a more creative sound design tool, but I haven't tried it myself, or done proper ABing.
