OK. I've posted once before and want to thank everyone for their help.
I have 2 DPA 4052's (compact 4006's), an MBOX and protools, and a Mac
laptop, of course--all bought to record the complete unaccompanied Bach
Sonatas and Partitas and the 24 Paganini caprices (also unaccompanied).


I was told that the preamp's in the MBOX are not good so they won't
bring out the best in the mics. What can I do about that? Is there
something that can connect to the MBOX to improve performance, or do I
need an upgrade? Is the Digi 002 better than the MBOX? Does it have
better preamps? Any suggestions appreciated. By the way, I'm in
Omaha, Nebraska. Thanks.

One more question. How does a preamp affect the sound of a mic? Yes,
I'm a complete beginner. I feel like my mother with a new remote
control, tv and vcr...completely clueless.
