Microphone preamp?

[wicked_s]

I'm thinking of buying a microphone preamp to my "project studio". For the moment I'm using Alto Voice Preamp, and it sounds like shit... don't know why I bought it in the first place. I'm looking for something that sounds good and is easy to operate. I'll only use it to record vocals. Do you guys have any tips?

+1 for the FunkLogic RNP. It's a really good quality preamp that gets the job done. Very easy to use as well. You could combine that with the RNC, and have a nice setup for vocals, or acoustic guitars. For the record, RNP stands for Really Nice Preamp, and RNC means Really Nice Compressor.

+1 more for the RNP/RNC. It's not really cheap and it's not really expensive (as far as pres go)...

wicked_s, what's the budget?

How much do you want to spend?

Is the RNP generally $475 USD everywhere?

Well Fritte. I'm looking for equipment to my own studio. It's always nice to own your own gear

Studio Projects VTB1 is generally well-respected.
Rane MS-1b was recommended by James Murphy in post on this forum.

Thank you for your wicked answers. I'm thinking of buying the FMR RNP or the VTB1. I'm also considering the FMR RNC.

Yeah, that price seems to be pretty standard.
