Hello everyone ! I was wondering if buying a art pro mpa 2 would improve my recording sound because I only have an m-audio fast track uktra as a sound card? Should I invest in a better soundcard instead :/
Thank !

Well a lot of people before told me not to get the Pro MPA II because i have a Focusrite Pro-40 and the pres are pretty amazing. M-Audio also has sick pres on their interfaces, in your case getting the Pro MPA II would/maybe be a good idea, or you can save up (if you believe your setup is good for now) and get the

I would say upgrading your interface or buying a nice mic is 10X the investment that buying pres would be, but that's just my opinion. I have never been blown away by preamps. To me they are a luxury rather than a neccesity in the digital age of mixing. Also if the pres on your interface sound bad, it doesn't make much sense to using a high dollar external preamp since it is stilling going through the pres on your interface. Just my 2 cents.
