my experience.. so far I've been using a 1073DPA to do all my tracking. I love the 1073, although sometimes, on drums for example, I have the impression it squashes the transients too much for my taste, almost sounding like some compression. I might be tripping tho ! I've been thinking about buying an API type pre (BAE or API) to track my drums, but I'm not sure it will be worth it.
so my question is, do you think using different pre's to track samplers is unnecessary ?
No.
Not for me.
That`s why EQs was invented ,isn`t it?
Sure it`s another sound yup ,but is it better ....I don`t think so ,it`s different and you may like that but is it worth the extra money and tracking-time?
Not for me.
There are a lot of classic records tracked on a console without different preamps ,so if they don`t needed it ,why should I?
But if it works for you that`s great ,try it.
