Avalon 737 through Blackbird

[Beat Poet]

So you want to expand your amount of channels using the Avalon? Could be an idea, or you could get another Blackbird and have some spare cash left over for some better drum mics!

should have mentioned im not looking to get more channels (i have access to a second blackbird whenever i need it)

Im looking at the avalon just because there is a used one in my town for cheap. Looking for better vocals and just overall sound quality increase. I record a lot track by track and with scratch tracks.

I could get better drum mics but usually use mostly overheads (mono) with kick and room mic (60s music). any other suggestions?

Depending on where you live (economically) if I were you , I'd keep your $1000 as 'reserve' cash. If you're being paid for gigs, maybe rent some gear specific to the session, ensuring your fee pays for gear plus extra. That way you get to try out various mics, pre's etc.

Not a sexy suggestion but without knowing your specific situation, the economic climate suggests caution.
