thanks, I saw a half rack one of theirs I think

thanks, yes the m2d2 looks interesting, being able to plug it into a cellphone for recording seems good, but I have no idea how reliable that would be, with my android phone "not very" I'd guess I'd seen the camden 500, I'll take a look at the others, I was considering the rupert neve portico 5017 for a while, but thought maybe 2 mic inputs would be better than 1 mic and 1 instrument

I'm using it with a tascam dr-700 and the level is kind of disappointing, but it does sound good when cranked up in post, it's a cheap recorder and it really needs a lot of gain to get a good level, I got a sanken csm1 as my outdoor mic which seems much louder, I've been considering a mix-pre, I noticed the next tascam up has aes/ebu inputs, on the other hand I can get an xlr addon for my camera which would mean no messing around lining clips up later

thanks for your replies everyone

hi, I'm toying with the idea of getting a standalone preamp, possibly a dual, that I'd like to use with an mkh50 for studio/indoor recordings, has anyone got any recommendations? also open to 500 series
