Listen, i am no newb to the recording world but i am not the best at it either. I have good gear that i work with, i just have a curiosity question. Am im getting good quality vocal recordings,(my ear is the biggest judge but i want others opinions) when i record with my Audio Technica 4033 or GT 55 mic into my aardvark soundcard mic pres, then once it goes in i then run it out into my avalon 747 stereo compressor into my urei 1176(original blackface LN)? The urei piece tends to add a tade bit of noise. But would u guys think thats a smart or good recording chain. Also once its back into my DAW i always put my LA-2A plugin on the vocals. I know what i think but i wanna know would u guys consider a different option considering the signal is traveling through a lot of venues. I spend a lot of money on high end outboard gear but kinda slacked off on my mic selection i know. Would u guys also recommend me selling one of my mics to get the studio projects c1 instead. I have a few other mics also but they are also low end like my rode nt1. I know this is a long post but basically i am tryin to see if there is a need for me to buy an avalon 737 being that i can't test it out in the store and i really do not want to rent one. All replies are greatly greatly appreciated. And remember i am not a newb, this is just a signal chain question. Thank You everyone ahead of time for ur input. Or one more thing, would u guys imagine that i am getting a better sound, considering the only thing the 737 has over the 747 is a preamp, but the 747 is a dedicated stereo compressor and eq, so im just going elsewhere for my pre. Please only ppl that are experience with intelligent advice and answers reply. Please dont reply if u have neva heard how none of the above mention have sound and just going off of hearsay. Once again THANK YOU
