Greetings!
With help from this forum, I've tracked down the recording setup that Josh Groban uses on most of his songs, and have basically his mic setup, BUT, the pre amp that he uses is, as of now, too expensive for my budget. I know this sounds wacky and lame, but I'm planning on doing this recording on my D16 MKII digital recording studio. Incase you're wondering, the built-in pre is anything but good. I've been told it's best to bypass the built-in pre all together by using the digital in instead of going through the built-in ones. The mic being used is a Schoeps MK4.
Basically, I'd like to know what a good, cheap, preamp would be for the type of vocals I'd be recording. (the cheaper $$ the better...)
If you have any other suggestions or anything to obtain a great sound, by all means! And just so one know comments, I am aware that to obtain a sound like Josh Groban you must first have the vchords to sing before any equipment can help you.
Thanks everyone!
Justin
