Instead of buying a cloud lifter, could I not just get extra gain by going into my pre, then going into my apollo IC pre to add more gain? I guess that would be coloring it…but does anybody really care?

Maybe one of your many Sta-Levels... |

The answer is yes. And the Apollo can add plenty of gain to one.
I still use a Cathedral Pipes booster at times because I like how it sounds. I own Cloud lifters but I save those for my Fatheads.

I was surprised how nice (relatively) my 58 sounds through the Scarlett 3rd Gen's "Air Button". Very low noise specs, can easily drive an SM7.
So... IMHO the ISA One Pre, which sonic style the Air Button emulates, might be worth a thought as an enhancement.
The Soyuz Launcher I have, is more aggressive in tone. Both useful where indicated.

It's one of the reasons I love having my console.
I'll route a track into the console, push some extra level on the fader, push some extra level on the group, then out of the group to the A/D.

Got an AS V-Comp + and 76D on the way. Nice. I have the cathedral pipes booster, and it's great. But I can't imagine the Apollo is that colored, plus you have to go through its line stages regardless, right? |
