asking me to fix it at the board, for instance is enough to make a
guy crazy when he's trying to ride herd on all of it.
I'm thinking about getting a Sytek or maybe another Forssell JMP-6 or Great
River MP4. I've either used these, or am familiar with them and they are all
majorly nice preamps. The Sytek especially is a major bang-for-the-buck
item, but I've also been wondering about a John Hardy 4 channel, True
Precision 8, Focusrite 428 and a Focusrite RED 1. I'm looking for
transparency/true to the source rather than color.
I'll be getting a small chunk o' change soon from a production I'm doing
here. Anyone ever used any of the aforementioned pre's?
Thanks,

It's all about misheard song lyrics - way funny!
-Markusi've got the true 8 and it's mostly used on the drum kit...toms, hi
hat and bottom snare. very similar to grace pres in sound. they're
also set up for MS.
