Okay, so I'm new to recording. I like to do small time stuff since lo-fi recording is my sort of thing. Anyways, I have an amp that is played right into a Shure 57 or whatever. I have that going right into a TASCAM DP-02, but I'm thinking that I'll need a mic preamp? Would this work to be the middleman or whatever?
@DigitalDogParty Yes, more like a middleman. You already have mic preamps in DP-2. Adding DPS II between the mic and dp-02 might not do much, but can add a little warmth to recorded track.
@VerseIsStyle Any of these will work, but by connecting it directly to the Studio Pod you will lower the chances of extra artifacts in the sound due to "shorter" signal path. On the other hand it depends how you use your USB mixer. As far as I know, most of the DAW software can not work simultaneously with two different types of interfaces. You can insert this preamp in any part of the signal chain. It depends what do you want to achieve by doing it.
@CreativeMusicians oh i see; well how will i be able to plug this to my computer via usb? and i also saw there are no headphone input so i'm guessing i would need to buy a mixer too?
@VerseIsStyle You don't need to plug the preamp into USB. You have the studio pod, so that's what goes into USB. You plug your microphenes into ART, than ART out connects with Studio Pot in. If you need more than two input channels, than you need a mixer.
@CreativeMusicians thanks for all yur time&help. i have one mic (AKG Perception 420) & i wanted to have nice quality by using a mic preamp like this one but i wanna kno how you connect it to yur computer like you did.
@TheAnastasia34 It is not necessary. Some people do this to achieve specific sound in the studio settings, as for DJ set up, the stock tube should work just fine.
Nice review!!!!...I was wondering if you can help me out mate??I just want to ask a couple of questions.....what tube i can buy to replace the tube inside "ART Pro TPS II Tube Mic Preamp V3"??????,,,Coz Im thinking of replacing it with "MESA BOOGIE 12AX7 Tube"...would this fit inside??/ ..is it compatible with this unit ????thanks...hoping to hear back from U... =)
Not a good idea. They are wired different, therefore 6922 (The Avalon kit) heater will not be working and you will ruin the tube very quickly. In order to make it work, you have to rewire the socket. It wouldn't be practical in this case. Mesaboogie 12ax7 will work there and can give you different tone depending on the last two letters followed "12ax7"
are the ART 31 band eq's good ?
