Actually ayos na yang mga choices mo. Di masyado pricey pero ok ang quality. Pero may mga Presonus, dbx, M-Audio and Focusrite na "medyo" di masyado mahal try mo din.

i own a samson c-valve. its best feature is it has spdif digital-out. and yes it's only in the mid 4figures area so its the cheapest preamp with a digi out. quite nice though. any other particular question i can help?

i suggest you buy a better interface first before buying a new preamp 

di mo talaga maririnig difference nun lalo na kung direct to soundcard ka pa lang

i agree with this one. yung behringer preamp mukhang ok din naman. pero analogue out yun. i mean na ok pa rin ang analogue. siguraduhin mo muna na alam mo kung paano i-maximize yung potential ng soundcard saka ng pre-amp to get the best result. btw, magkano ba yung T1953?

pwedeng ilink yung 2 nyan di ba tapos gagamiting master yung spdif out nung isang unit.

magkano ba isa?

[jamming_papu]

mga P6500 yung c-valve. so kung 2 mga P13K. may stereo pre-amp ka na with digital out. mura na 'di ba? 

btw, pwede gumana yung SPDIF out ng c-valve kahit mag-isa. bale yung signal out e gagawin both for L and R. makikita mo yun sa soundcard mixer. pero nung binasa na ng DAW ko (like Sonar) mono pa rin yung lalabas.

@threadstarter,
if you consider the c-valve, it would be best if your soundcard has a SPDIF input. i used to use a behringer xenyx as a preamp. acceptable results pero kapag tinataasan yung gain umiingay na.

yan nga sir isa ko pa napansin, kaya di ko nga mataasan gain grabe noise, andumi

kanina nag inquire ako sa intune music store T1935 11,300 pero 9,050@sale price daw

@sir peeves- mejo ok naman fast track pro yun nga lang pag dumaan pa sa xenyx andumi parang mas ok pa ata direct na lang

[jamming_papu]

well, the c-valve has a good noise floor as far as i see/hear. can use more gain now. definitely cleaner than a xenyx mixer. pero i find it kinda clean-flat. minsan kasi 'pag mixer may nakukuha ako na noise na ok naman in such a way that when used properly with the equalizer adds some character to your sound.

@sir peeves- mejo ok naman fast track pro yun nga lang pag dumaan pa sa xenyx andumi parang mas ok pa ata direct na lang

aahhh kala ko kasi naka connect lang sa line in ng built-in soundcard yung mixer mo  pero totoo na mataas noise ng behringer mixers, ingatan mo na lang yung setting mo ng gain (hindi ka dapat aabot ng 12oclock para mahina noise).

[britesynth]

@sir peeves- hinanap ko na lang yung mga pihit ng mixer at interface na pinakamahina yung noise na napoproduce nila,   

mixer main out - 9 o'clock

interface input - 2 o'clock

ayan kaya di ko malakasan kasi sigurado sasama sa record

eto na top 3 choices ko na available locally...
 

1. m-audio dmp3
     price: around 9k-12k
     inputs: 2
     no digital out
     mejo ok yung mga reviews
         
-m-audio soundcard ko kaya naisip ko ok na rin kasi pareho m-audio at ok ang recommendations (may sense ba naisip ko mga sir?)

2. samson c-valve
     price: around 7k-8k
     input: 1
     with digital out - mejo plus nga ata to considering its price...
     not much reviews
         
-may digital out at samson ang condenser mic ko kaya naisip ko ulit ok siguro c-valve, they just "might" work well together (tama ba ulit yun?)

3. behringer T1953
     price: around 10k-12k
     inputs: 2
     no digital out
     common suggestion on reviews: change the tube for better sound quality

-parang ok naman sa reviews yun nga lang kelangan palitan pa mga tubes daw for that extra "warmth and crsip", im a little concern about the noise level, behringer xenyx kasi gamit ko ngayon naisip ko baka ganun rin tong ultragain T1953 kaya 3rd option ko lang to, sana hindi sha katulad ng xenyx, dedicated preamp naman sha so siguro naman hindi...


any thoughts?... 

thanks!
