Apologies for intruding on the Pro group when I am not a Pro (but aspire to
be). Anyway, having got a new PC and new soundcard M-Audio Delta 192 I am
looking to replace my very elderly Boss microrack compressors (2 x RCL10s)
with sopmething new. I have just bought a SE 2200A microphone and a Yamaha
RBX 270 bass so I am looking to get the best sound into the computer but
I'm on a very strict budget and have an account with Sound Countrol (here in
the UK).
At the moment I have an M-Audio Audiobuddy Pre-amp. That is fine for
boosting the signal into the PC but especially with the bass (I am just a
beginner) obvioulsy I want to make sure I don't overload or distort, the
same goes for vocals.
So, I am looking at the above units. The DBX is a twin channel compressor
gate etc and is £99 (around $182) which is good and would allow me to buy
something else. I need to spend over £100 to get buy now, pay summer 2007.
The M-Audio Tampa is a single channel pre-amp and compressor and looks a
really nice piece of kit (although 2 rack units high) and is costing £169
(approx $311). but it would allow me to dispense with the Audio Buddy, less
patching to do and easier access to the XLR mic inputs which on the Tampa is
out front while the Audio Buddies XLR mic inputs are on the back.
So, I really don't know what to do and I am looking for advice or
recommendations. I strive to get the best sound into the PC (so that I can
**** it up with software !!!).
Hope this gets you all mulling over this.
Cheers
BC
