noharmlessrock · 8th May 2007

In the process of researching mic pre's to track my mpc 2500 to a digi002 rack, I think it would be super helpful to have a CD reference to illustrate the classic hip hop pre amp
sounds. i.e. the kick in "can you werk wit dat" by DJ Quick is a classic use of the ______ pre amp, the keys sounds like they were tracked with a _____ pre amp. etc

http://www.myspace.com/djquik

from what I can tell, the pre amp culture isn't "try before you buy," so this additional info would really help me make an informed decision. many thanks

side note stylistic question...
In the wierd work flow dept, I also enjoy programming techno on my MPC. As a lot of this genre is programmed via software, does any know if some of the more established artists in this area (daft punk, booka shade) track their drums and keys with mic pre's?
