hi mates !
I'm currently looking for a convenient mic preamp for a low price to work with a shure sm58 to record the vocals for my band's demo.
Budget is about 100 to 150 euros which is probably 200$ i guess. If i need to put in a bit more for a much better quality then no prob
Now i know, i'm not expecting miracles but just something that will do the job correctly or even good. We all know that the source is what matters in every recording !
I read some articles and reviews on the presonus tubepre, the vtb1 from studio projects and the Joemeek ThreeQ (which has a Comp & a EQ, don't know about the quality though...).
These aren't my main choices, they were mentionned a lot in my research, but i don't know if they'll be able to do what i'm looking for...
Gear i already have (just so you have an idea) :
- A PC of course (4gb Ram, 3,2ghz processor)
- Cubase 5 with LePou plugins , waves, sp2...
- The Presonus audiobox 22vsl
- Shure sm58 with a pop filter
- And our precious instruments
Any constructed advice is welcome !
Thanks \\m//
