One thing I have found is that the poorer preamps (perhaps like your
behringer) may not sound that bad on an individual track -- but once
you have recorded 16 or 24 tracks, you get a build-up of things you
don't want. This can also even be true of more expensive but very
"colored" preamps (if you use it on every track over 16 or more
tracks), so I think the place to start would be a good, neutral, clean
preamp.

This is it in a nutshell. When I mix tracks recorded on the cheap pres,
the sum has a "clarity" to it, and I RARELY need to add EQ. The tracks from
the cheap pres seem to be "veiled" when summed, and no amount of EQ seems
to help. But if I solo them, they sound OK.
