thanks for the tip. Didn't knew that.
if you can afford the extra cost of the focusrite then don't even hesitate
the focusrite i'am speak about is the fakmaster and I read that the
compression isn't the best... but costs 250€ :-D
the cheap option is the ultravoice vx2496.
thankx and sorry to enter in the post with my own questions like an
elephant. :D

sorry to reply to my own post, but i was just going to say you are
probably better off in the long run if you can't afford to get the focusrite
as well as the better mics to get the focusrite and the cheaper mics. that
way when you decide it's worth upgrading the mic you will have a spare
(still quite usable) mic for when the more expensive one doesn't 'sit right'
in the mix.
porl
so a cheat good mic is a M-audio Nova or a Behringer B-1? Or you are
speaking of something better?

don't get the behringer tube products. they aren't worth it. the solid
state stuff is fine, but their tube stuff is terrible (i had a tube preamp
of theirs for a while, can't remember the model but it was one of the rack
mount ones). the tube is more for show than anything - they still use solid
state through most of the circuit anyway. the tubes are also starved of
power from memory and distort very nastily, i think anyway - for all i know
it was the opamps distorting anyway - it didn't sound at all like 'tube
distortion'.
to choose the
cheaper behringer over it. don't get me wrong, i actually like
behringer overall, but they are no match for the focusrite pres. i have a
behringer ada8000 connected to an RME9636 hammerfall, and i just got a
focusrite pro26io. the focusrite pres were a league above the behringers.
the ada8000 is still more than adequate though, and i'll still use it, but
the focusrite is worth the difference.

I have the SE 2200A usb mic. Sound great and works flawless with
linux
(<7ms latency with jack). The really nice thing is that is has a
regulart XLR output, so you can get a good preamp later for even
better
quality.

right now I'm looking also for a good recording (not stage mic) and my
conclusions so far are:
M-audio Luna with Focusrite trakmaster
http://www.focusrite.com/product/trakmaster_pro/
or behringer B2pro
low budget
M-audio Nova or Behringer B1
with
Behringer ultravoice vx 2496
or some of the behringer tube products...
What do you guys think?
