Indeed. I'm
quite happy with the sound I get from my Alesis io26 interface, but am aware that as it only cost about £200, it's 8 preamps are obviously quite low cost (£25 per preamp). So if I was to splash out £4-500 on a single preamp, surely the difference should be quite marked.
Still haven't made a decision, but it's been an interesting discussion. I do feel I'm not getting the best out of a pretty good quality vocal mic. And I've got about £700 worth of gear boxed up and ready to be flogged on eBay, Preloved etc which I'd like to recylce back into my studio.
When're the online music shops gonna do a January sale!!??
