Except you cant really build an entire studio on a single pre.

If all you are tracking is vocals than this is not necessarily true.

I think the vocal mics are more crucial, but this also falls by the way side if you are just working with one singer.

I run Logic through a PT HD system(HD192/Apogee/DAC1). I produce the Midi stuff in Logic, but prefer to mix the audio tracks in PT(I run both at the same time actually). I use a lot of outboard gear and almost no plugs. I sum the tracks either on a DB2LT,SBM2,SSL or internal.

They all can work for you when mixing.

I think if you are starting out, a great channel "up the middle" is the most crucial(right mic-pre/EQ-comp(optional)-A/D-D/A-excellent monitors).

The rest is just icing on the cake.
