I use an RME 9632 PCI card for my audio interface... I'm programming drums (slate and superior 2.0/metal foundry). I want to get a preamp or possibly two for micing up my guitar cab and recording vocals with my SM7B. The second preamp would only be for trying out micing cabs with two mics at once, so it's not totally necessary... just something I was considering.
I guess my price range is anywhere up to about $600 for a used preamp... I'm looking for something quality for use with SM57s for guitar and SM7B for vocals... not a total budget preamp, but not something really, really pricey either.... Also, I'd like something with a good amount of gain on tap so I can push the SM7B if I want to... I know it takes a good bit of gain.
There's just a bunch of choices, so I'd like to narrow it down a little bit with some help from you guys. What should I be looking at? What do you recommend?
