I agree with the first part, and I know why you posted it, but, I didn't present an absolute. It's fine to disagree, but, there is never a reason to assume that you have an OK to be rude, sarcastic, or assume that is the reason for this board. It's not.

There are as many different sounding tube pres' as there are solid state ones. Some will sound tubey. Some will have an extremely clean, accurate sound.
I know, put a good clean tube mic in front of a good clean tube pre and mic up a marshall. It all depends on what your doing and what you're using. It all depends.

If it does in your setup(as in if your setup sounds good doing that), why not? (as in why not do it).
That's because it isn't a rule.( There are no rules.)

Some of the tube pre's i was looking at were the more cheaper of the bunch.
Studio Projects VTB-1
Electro-Harmonix 12AY7 Mic Pre
ART MP Tube Preamp
And the answer is still no, it isn't necessary.
But if it sounds good, why not?

I won't use pitch correcting software. I use "coaching" maybe you've heard of it. It keeps working even when you don't have it on.
