do u know one clean and punchy in the same time ?
is there one clean with plenty of harmonics ? I don't think so .
can be used one colored with a high gain ? not in a main mix at all...
therefore :
this preamp should be colored but not so much , roundly and dimensional , clean high gain , tube or transistor? , input and output transformer , a little bit of natural compression and u feel that u don't need an EQ at all , very musical and keeps the drums punchy , not very bright but the middles in front naturally .
what's that ? would be pacifica ? |
search gear shoot outs..
i like the sound of john hardy m-1 and millenia media hv / TD1
synths --->imp2--->mic.pre--->AD
i was verry dissapointed in the transformer sound of the STT-1 Origin
i hate avalon sound.
but i like MCI mic-pres 400 500 and specially 600.
the new amek cib sounds nice.
i like verry much the helios console mic-pre, emulation in the Focusrite liquid channel
but...
the analog circuit design in some ADDA converters are soo good, they add a magic when doing just DA--DA loop.
UA2192 DA is sweet, Burl B2 AD is sweet, jcf/8va also nice AD, manley slam! digital AD is 3d transparent, cranesong hedd192 is verry nice, lynx aurora is dynamic nice.
