Do you use a Preamp before running into your recording interface?

yes, i do use a preamp but i also use a condenser mic versus a dynamic mic which is more sensitive. you do not mention the type of mic you are using. i run my recordings through a number of preamps which include an avalon 737, grace m102, UA-2-610 and Daking M-One.
