templeofhorse Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 hay guys, awesome forum by the way, cheers. I done a vocal recording the other day using the mic input on the hd desktop and was quite impressed with the dry vocal. got some good feedback from muso friends in regards to it after i had used some vst processing on it. Not wanting to get into mic placement, room acoustics, type of mic etc... but whats ur thoughts on the mic pre , quality wise etc, cant seem to find much comments about the pre over the net. Ive been looking at the focusrite scarlett 6i6 as i just sold my mbox 3 (which i thort was overrated and crap drivers which drove me insane) so i can spdif the pod hd if i need or analogues out whilst using the focusrite pres, heard good things bout the scarlett and i want another toy lol, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've been pleased with the mic pre in the HD500. You shouldn't be embarrased to make it public that you use it. Don't forget there's a little trim pot back there to set the gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaByte Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi!Did You try usind it with a PA as well (mic-> PD HD -> PA)? I thought about trying this out for a speech - we don´t want to rent the whole equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yes, that's my line-up. SOmetimes I pan the mic hard L and the guitar hard R so I can send them to the PA on two different cables and let the PA mute, gain, EQ, etc the two independantly. It works reall well.
