Admin M@ personally recommended the RNP to me when we were working on a support case a couple years ago.The FMR RNP is a good preamp, set the axefx input to “copy L to R” and you’ll have a good mono input feeding any axefx blocks.
Into one of the balanced inputs on the axefx, i.e. input 2 with an XLR cable if your mic pre has XLR out, or input 3/4 with a 1/4" TRS cable if your mic pre has 1/4" TRS out.what is the best way to connect the preamp to axe?
Mono. Just set the axefx input you're using to mono in the axefx settings.Would one cable come out as half a stereo recording or mono?
For recording guitar the axefx's USB generally works great. But once you start recording other devices the axefx quickly shows its limitations as a usb interface, particularly in the monitoring department. So my suggestion is to use a dedicated audio interface with good software control, mic pres, and SPDIF. For example the Scarlett 8i6 3rd gen is a great budget option and is cheaper ($200-250 on reverb) than either of those mic pres. This approach has several advantages:Any other suggestions?
I would welcome that!It be so awesome if Fractal made a device specifically for vocals.
IMHO, the only thing needed in a new device would be phantom power capability.It be so awesome if Fractal made a device specifically for vocals.
It’s needs an actual mic pre as well. A shure sm-7 into the axe 3 is not a quality soundIMHO, the only thing needed in a new device would be phantom power capability.
All the current AxeIII would need is more modeled pre-amp blocks (achievable without needing a new device).
