So I have a v-studio 100 cakewalk for a pre amp and I've been recording with a (Edit: Actually have to go check with what mic real quick. But a pretty bright condenser).
I am singing VERY quiet parts for some of the songs I'm working on, and I find I have to turn my built in pre all the way up to get it to the -18db range. I notice that background noise is minimal until it's turned to the highest 5% of the knob.
So what I'm wondering is will a dedicated mic pre alleviate this problem? If instead of having a gain knob on an interface up all the way, I had a pre and the interface gain like halfway. Just wondering.
