The grace is rated the best preamp for the $500 price point. And I agree that it's wonderful.I have two mics: the blue baby bottle and the shure ksm32. my mic plugs into the grace m101 preamp (phantom power), and the preamp plugs into the interface which sends the sound to the DAW (recording software). It's a pretty tight chain, I've never had any latency issues.You only have one mic?
Is it all vocals and MIDI then?
I just bought those yamaha mixing monitors yesterday, I used to use the KRK Rokit 5's which I never liked because they didn't seem to catch high end too well, and didnt really hear my reverbs good either.
Saturday morning I woke up and driving to get coffee I finally got mad enough that my mix sounds way different in the studio than in the car, and thats why I decided to go ahead and do a professional sound treatment job and also get new monitors.
What are you using for an interface? I have an old Lexicon I need to upgrade.
How do you like the Grace preamp?
I'm using the Lexicon Omega desktop interface. I've had it for YEARS and never had any problems with it. It's that silver thing standing up on the left corner of the desk.
Yeah I could see a piece of it. I'm having intermittent driver issues on the Alpha, other than that and a dirty pot that needs cleaning it's OK. No real latency issues, just doesn't always show up in my software.
I do acoustic instruments though, so I need my mics. Looking at adding an Avantone CK-1 soon, or something like it.
The grace only has one mic input, but the omega also serves as a preamp, just not as good as the grace, and the lexicon has 4 line ins, 2 mic ins, and two speaker outputs.
I never knew there was an alpha lol thats hilarious
you should shoot me an instrumental sometime maybe I can mess around and write/record some vocals over it.
here's a neat little diddy i did, pardon that the mix is not perfect but again thats why the OP happened!
