|  Good preamp for live gigs Hi Guys, My friend asked me if I knew any good preamps for live gigs ... I know what works for me at studio but when I was doing live PA'S (many years ago)I used sm58 direct to the console ... Any recommendations? Cheers BTW his budget is £300 ($550) mac |

| why bother, tell him to save up and buy a good console assuming the console is the weekest link anyway. |

What about that presonus pre? There was a threat with different pres (I think James 'L.A." Lugo did that shout out with the A-Design stuff in a shoot out).

| Depending on the singer, but sometimes it would be more important to swithc the mic from a SM58 to something different. Is he silbiant...? There are a lot of nice mics to chose from like the Shre knodensers or the Neumann hand held... But still we did a shootout with a girl and ended up buying the SM58 because that was what worked best.

| Around that price range I really like the Focusrite platinum range. How many channels does he need? The Twin Track Pro has 2, plus a couple of compressors and selective EQ (cut). The new Octopre has 8channels and both have the option to integrate A/D cards. Cheers......................Joaquin. |
