R Parker a �crit :
FMR looks interesting. Have you worked with their
stuff?
FMR isn't the only option for affordable high end
preamps. Check out the do it yourself (DIY) preamp
kits at http://www.hamptone.com/
I ran across Scott's preamp kit in a Tape Op
interview/article. I haven't used his gear but am
interested in it. He lives in Portland, Oregon but I
think he's from Minneapolis, Minnesota. If that's
correct, then I believe he was part of Amphebian
Records and a band called Halo of Flies. Before these
guys built their own studios they were recording their
albums at my studio with my partner Bill Bailey. This
would be the mid to later 1980s. :) Ah, growing old.

I don't know what preamps would be ideal for
any
remote work I'd be interested in doing. Doesn't
RME
have some nice 1U or 2U stuff and isn't there
a
Focusrite producer pack or something that includes
a
Blue mic? I imagine my strategy on a limited
budget
would be to purchase 2 channels of something real
nice
and eight more channels of whatever that I
wouldn't
hesitate to toss in the garbage.
For sure but for 500 � (or $) it is difficult to
have two channel of a
high end preamp. It is more around $1000 per
channel for solid state
preamp (Great River, John Hardy, Avalon, Millenia
Media) and even more
for tube preamps (Manley, DW Fearn). The only option
is the FMR Really
Nice Preamp (RNP), $500 (in the US !!) for 2 really
nice mic preamps
;-) and very portable. Christophe
