2 GT Bricks for Keyboard DI .... good stuff?

[I <3 The Beatle]

I was just wondering if running my Triton Extreme's analog stereo outs into transformer based DI's (such as 2 bricks) might make the signal a little more "big, analog and warm," for lack of better adjectives.


Have at me Slutz!

- ALSO - because I don't want to start another thread...

do you think the Triton -> GT Bricks -> RME ADI-2 -> soundcard would be a "pro" sounding synth chain.

Thanks for the quick reply, but high end is a little pricey for my wallet. I will definetly read through all of that and consider some more expensive options though.

Yes. I use the Ditto (non-preamp version of the Brick) for this all the time. I even double up the transformer goodness by running the Ditto into a 1272. Sometimes I'll even triple it by running the 1272 into a Fatso tranny.

Haha sounds very slutty..thanks for the reply. The GT budget stuff sounds good though?

The Brick is awesome for the price. We have one at the studio that gets a lot of work. It is a really nice DI and you get a good preamp to go along with it. When I first tried it I was suprised by how much clarity it retains. Some cheaper tube stuff is kind of 'muddy' in my experience. I think that it will be a piece of equipment that you will want to keep around even if you end up getting some higher end stuff in the future.

I just got a ditto for $150 on ebay and I am planning to use that to go into my ME1NV. I'm also expecting my fatso this week and will try out what you just described. I can't wait

BTW, I generally only record synths
