I'm also finishing up a complete CD with a virtual band. Some of us have never met in person. We use different DAWs too.

Eisen mic pre for API 500 series rack or lunchbox

Eisen mic pre module (from www.eisenaudio.com) that fits the API 500 series racks and lunchboxes. Purple Op Amp, JLM 1:4 input transformer and Cinemag CMOQ-2S output transformer. I bought it pre-assembled. The choices for opamp and xfmrs was supposed to get close to the "Neve" sound (although I cann...
