For the preamp i got an SM pro ep84. Pretty cheap on ebay, and a company from Melbourne, Australia so I can go around and complain if it's not great ;) http://www.smproaudio.com/produkte/preamps/ep84-8-kanal-mikrofonvorverstaer… ADAT option to plug into my echo Gina. Hopefully the preamp will turn up today so I can try recording the band. The Beyerdynamic mic's sound fantastic so far. They sound really clear, crisp and balanced recording my Collings acoustic. From a quick comparison I think I prefer them over my much more expensive Stedman large diaphragm condenser. Though I think the Stedman suits vocals better. I have one art tube MP preamp, Should I run the vocal mic through this or will the solid state sm pro pre's sound much nicer anyway? Thanks everyone for the great advice! Loki
