it has been a goal of mine to have a choice of decent preamps in my gear, with the 500 series and diy this makes it more likely and manageable.
in previous times i have either just used the pres that are on the desk if recording live, or if in my home studio, separately put everything i can through the single best pre i had at the time...
my question is:
in your opinion, which pres 'stack' better? (in a multi-track/overdubbing situation. or then different, more 'live' scenario)
do you find you get final mix results you prefer with a bunch of similar pre's or do you think what you achieve is better when you mix and match from a selection as i had planned?
obviously not talking about different pre's for stereo tracks.
i assume a lot of you have tracked and then mixed solely on an ssl or a neve desk for instance
not looking for some unobtainable 'best'... just some thoughts and opinions
