Subject: Warm, classy and under a grand s/h?
Original Message Date: 05-May-04 @ 10:26 PM - Warm, classy and under a grand s/h?
Ive had little shits in the past (samson 1502, Mackie1202 etc) but went with a rush of blood a few years back and have been routing directly into soundcard, mixing internally and digitally bouncing (001, now 002r and PT)
Ive had a craving for something like in the title for a while, and as the kit has grown again ive gradually run out of inputs from using the 8 ins of the 002 to hooking back up the mackie 1202 to get more in alongside.
I really just want to take the plunge into a sexy big ol analogue desk and get some nice sound/eq
Not fussed about automation and all the digital revolution stuff, simplicity has always been my best friend - Ive seen some Mackie 32/8's with M/b's for sale for about 800-1200 squids, also Soundcrafts and soundtracs for a bit cheaper etc...
Whats the best in its class at this level? whos used/got/owned etc?
Any help?

how do you make it distort? (not only by maximizing a channel-fader i think)
is the way to do it by actually raising the preamp gain to maximum level? (and then having the channel-fader at a suitable, lower, level (really low?!) to get a solid output volume on the channel and good balance in the mix)
if thats so, dont you get a lot of awful background noises from the preamp then?
