Thread Starter | channel strip .. or Pre??.. where to put the money??..
Hi all .... I need to get a pre amp (or a channel strip) and my budget is about $2000 .. I need something that I can use to add warmth to vocals and keyboards ... the unit within my budget is TL-audio 5052 .. its got loots of knobs ..! hum  whopeeee ... but did anyone use it before?... is it worth dishing the money for?...or should I get a pre with this money?.. humm like Chandler TG2 .. there is not much (knobs!) to control .. but its supposed to rock! .. can I substitute the absence of the compressor & EQ from my mixer?... I have a Yamaha O1V96 .. routed to RME HDSP 9652 ..through 3 adat lines ... that's my simple , humble setup ... any one? ... I am in between the 2 choices...  |

I'd say don't stretch it out too much. If you get something that tries to do it all, I think eventually you'll want to upgrade them. Get the best pre, then comp, etc. Depending on your predominant styles of music, some people might say do something like GreatRiver/Distressor combo, and that might be cool, but I wouldn't go for a pre/comp/eq thing. That's just me... - Justin |
