Hi.

My opinion is just that an opinion. Before i get slammed around here for my sentiments(or lack their off) towards the Folcrom. I just felt that the whole use a different mic pre for a different sound thing didn't work for me. It always came across as smaller and distant. And i can tell you that i pushed the thing to see if it made a difference and it never got better(actually sounded worse).

And sorry i haven't tried the Xsum. I just feel for me its counterproductive to use tools that have a "clean" sound especially for a mixing topology. My thought process is if am going clean i might as well stay in the box and avoid the extra conversion.

I know.

How non slutty of me.
