I'm not specifically trying to spend a lot of money although I'm willing to. Basically I just want to buy ONE tube preamp that will be great for vocals, violin, and acoustic guitar. I don't want to go for something midrange, and then decide in a few years that I want to buy something better and that...

Is the hamptone really on par with the manley and the fearn vt-2?

No more opinions on tube pres? I'd really appreciate some more viewpoints before I take the plunge, especially since they're quite expensive. I did a search through the archive and didn't find too many posts regarding them. The ones I did find I've read repeatedly already. Can I assume that not many...

I'm looking to get a tube preamp to supplement my neve and api sounds. What are people's favorite tube pres? Who can compare and contrast the Fearn VT-1 and the Manley Dual Mono? The tube pres will be used for vocals, acoustic guitar, and violin. Thanks for the help.

I heard that the emt works better when surrounded by pink bras (or at least I do.) Actually though that is my girlfriend's bra. She sees me reading this message board quite frequently and is now officially embarrassed. On a related story, she'll be at the TapeOpCon in room #205. Knock twice to see t...

P.S. The next time the drummer is weak with a hit I'm going to tell him to stop hitting it like a pussy!

has anyone a/b'd these two eq's? What's the difference, and why would one be preferable to another?

Jcooke

any other ideas?

I've been wondering about what people do to compress drums. ?I have one distressor in my rack so compressing them in real time is not possible.

Do you record all your drum tracks and then compress them one at a time by reamping? Do you compress the whole mix?

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jcooke

Thanks for the info. ANyways, here's the official reply from the guy at vintage city. I'm going to go ahead and order from him so I hope he speaks the truth. It will save me $500 which is nice. Hi Jeremy, yes ... my racks are cheaper and ... better :.- ) Please note that my racks will come with an e...
