I have a BAE 1073D pre/EQ and a Millennia STT-1 dual path channel strip (tube and solid state) and a dedicated AEA ribbon pre but absolute favourite for tracking vocals is the Coil CA-70. It has variable "negative feedback" and it allows you to change the harmonic content of the signal in a very unique way. My vocal chain is Wunder CM7 > Coil CA-70> Retro STA Level > HEDD 192 AD and the Coil is just amazing in this chain - I can dial in the absolute perfect amount of top end response and the whole chain is soooo smooth. It's perfect for the kind of vocals I love but it would be too slick I think for an indie/punk/rap track - so it's horses for courses. I'd like to get a pair of Neve 8081 channel strips - but it's way too expensive at the moment. So many great Pre's/ EQ's/ Compressors out there these days. Nice pres! Thanks. It's only four pre's (not that many compared to some folk around here) But to my thinking it covers, modern tube vintage tube modern solid state vintage solid state dedicated ribbon So I have a small selection of flavours and I'm only tracking one or two channels at a time. I'm short of a dedicated stereo pair of pre's but that will take more saving up. |

I think you can overemphasise this stuff, one legendary mic amp vs. another isn’t ever going to break a track. If it does it definitely wouldn’t be the preamp I’d be looking at. Yeah..I’ve seen a Mint Pheonix ascent for a really good price. Like on Ash Wednesday?... "Get it Tony?"- Paulie Walnuts "Phoenix" "Ashes?" "Heh heh"  |

API 3122V for Dual Mic acoustic and Neve 1073 for vocals? Does this mix and match work? Api will give you a nice clean guitar track. Many times that is what people are going for. The 73 will also give you that set at maximum headroom. The 73 will also give you a slightly grittier rounded and full sound if you prefer that. Usually how I dig the acoustics. But production wise I would go in vocals first. Whatever they require goes and the guitars get what’s left in the rack. Whether they match and work depends a lot on what and how you feed them. I’d recommend to take it for a spin and track both ways and learn how they interact and how it sits in your mix. |

Nah, the 512V or 312 with it's dual tap is as smooth as any mic amp I've used. I really like them..

Neve and API: hard to go wrong. Some people don’t like API on vocals. I’ve definitely cut vocals happily on an API console or two.
But the real deal is, make sure you RULE at mic selection and placement before you bother worrying about which awesome pre to use where.
