  I have a few good options in my studio.

  I like the TL audio Ivory mic pres, though they are in the $1200 range. I 
also like the Focusrite octo-pre it is in the $1000 range and there is a great 
alternative to trying to get a vintage Neve, lots of up keep on those, it is 
called the Ventech and is a mottle of the Neave 10-73, in the $3000 range.

  PS, SE electronics make some great mics, I am an artist endorser and dealer 
for those.

    Hello:

    Since we all use an external mixer with our computer when recording with 
Sonar; does anyone on here also use a separate pre amp, or are the ones in the 
mixer enough if we're using a high quality mixer? Is a separate pre amp really 
necessary, especially to make vocals or kick drums sound fatter, as in the case 
of hip hop? I'd really appreciate anyone's feedback on this before I invest in 
a separate pre amp.

    Thanks.
