Upgrade on Firebox

fsfishnchips · 28th July 2006

Hi,
This is my first post, I've been using firebox and MXL 990 at 96k. I am impressed with the sound, but its cold and not as "musical" as some 46k recordings i've done at other places . I plan to upgrade my equipment to work with my firebox. should I :

(1) get a tube mic
(2) get a tube preamp, keep the mic
(3) get a tube preamp, get a nice solid state mic
(4) get a tube preamp, get a tube mic
(5) get a compressor?

sorry I am a newbie, but do you all think these equipment will make the same recording sound a little more "musical" thanks. any suggestion is welcome
