my experience.. so far I've been using a 1073DPA to do all my tracking. I love the 1073, although sometimes, on drums for example, I have the impression it squashes the transients too much for my taste, almost sounding like some compression. I might be tripping tho ! I've been thinking about buying an API type pre (BAE or API) to track my drums, but I'm not sure it will be worth it.
so my question is, do you think using different pre's to track samplers is unnecessary ? |
Using different pre's with different combinations of comps IS necessary....
The 1073 is a very open pre ment for close mic'ing....API would be good for something like a piano cause of its' mid range 'punchiness'.....1081 are tyght for drums....It all depends....you just got to hear it for yourself....
hope this helps,
