Hiya im thinking of maybe making a DIY Pultec
This is for my PC based DIY home studio heres the ruff set up
Solid tube vocal mic {for now} into choice of DIY tube mic pres,main 3 are V72,RCA BA21A & Mccurdy AU300 these seem to have lots of level
then into a DIYed BA6A,LA2A or AM864u limiters
then into Maudio delta break out box & into Delta sound card to cakewalk
thing is I always have loads of level to get rid of the V72 & BA21A pre & BA6A & AM864U limiters all have 10:1 balanced T attenuattors on the outputs
or if I use the LA2A the make up is only on about 2 of 10 notches
now im thinking of adding the Pultec EQ,Iknow the Pultec adds no extra gain but what im thinking is do I need to biuld the amp part of the Pultec & adding another 3 transformers, could I just insert the passive EQ part somewhere in my chain ??
any ideas ??
also got me thinking in this situation do I need all the transfomers in the chain too, the vocal can end up going thru six or 9 with added Pultec,I do like the sound of iron tho & some of the transformers keep the level down too,any ideas on this too.
would love to hear any ideas ,thoughts on this lot, many thanks from Gary O.
