GETTING NEW EQUIPMENT!

i spent the last couple of days looking for a mic pre-amp for my recording studio at the apartment. i've been told that many people that people do better with a mic pre-amp bc it amplifies the voltage that currently my system doesn't have. thus, it just makes for better sound.

the two mic pres i'm looking at are the universal audio LA 610 and the Avalon. Michael Korb, who is an excellent musician from Long Island, is gettin ghis Avalon soon, and I've been told to get one too by many other musicians, but it's kinda steep in price. The next tier down is the Universal Audio one, which is what Michael Flynn got, which was recommended to him by Josh. I trust their opinion very much, since the suckas managed to get signed and even had their music put on a bunch of shows and whatnot.

Mike and Josh's band is called Slow Runner. Check them out at www.slowrunner.com.
