Hey All,
Kind of a strange scenario I think, but someone asked me about this so I though I would pass it on to you guys.
There seems to be a lot of guys that are using VI's that want to add a bit of hair to the signal by using the line in on a mic pre. Maybe a Neve style or a Capi or similar. My console has built in conversion, so pro tools is routed directly to the channel strips. Do you see any reason not to stick a "line amp" on the insert of a channel strip to add a bit of hair? The advantage that I see is that you can level match and bypass the "line amp" to compare and really see what you're adding by doing this. Crank the input of the line amp, and back off the attenuation until you have the hair that you're looking for while maintaining consistent level. Any thoughts?
