@@DoubtMeTech but I do have a question I saw a video on how you can damage your preamp by plugging it directly into the audio interface is this true or is there a way to not have it break.

[@DoubtMeTech]

The audio interface is a mic preamp. The compressor is not. Going from mic pre to compressor to audio interface won't be an issue. Going from mic pre into XLR directly to the audio interface can be an issue because the mic preamp turns the signal from mic into line level. The only way to go from mic preamp to audio interface is if you go with a 1/4 line level jack and make sure you select line level into the interface. With this method in this video, you won't have any issues

what if im using multiple compressors? and an eq? how do i determine what the vocals are passing through first? and connect them together

[@fatfro1]

Well that was clearly explained. This is the first video I have seen that mentions the fact that if you are using a condenser microphone and you want to use outboard gear you need to run through an outboard mic pre first. Seems pretty basic but can be overlooked if let's say you just wanted to use a compressor. I've seen some videos where they say you can use an XLR to XLR cable to go out of your mic pre and in to your audio interface, but you mentioned TRS. Why shouldn't an XLR be used? Thanks for the video.

Also, I was using the wrong cables for the inputs and outputs. I will reconnect my gear correctly this time and see how it sounds this time around. Your video was really informative and to the point! Could you give me a good vocal setting point on the 76-KT as for the input, output, attack, release, ratio and meter? Oh, and on the back of the 76-KT should the pad button be pushed in? Thanks for any advise!!

Hi - this is really helpful. Just wondering why do you recommend a 1/4 Jack instead of a balanced XLR from the V3 to the compressor and compressor to interface. I’m getting a lot of hiss going on and wondered if this could be why? Thanks

[@DoubtMeTech]

The mic preamp is outputting line level, not mic level. The 1/4 inch that ends up going to the preamp after the compressor has to be line level. That's why using the 1/4 is the way to go

Can you explain the point of having an additional preamp if the audio interface already has one ? I have a ssl2+ and a behringer compressor, im using a condenser microphone those typically have sufficient gain so is the art tube preamp really necessary?

There's a long answer to this, but just know that if your mic pre is going directly into your computer with mic input, your compressor requires line level input. Your audio interface is not sending out a line level output. Just please make sure to follow these steps exactly so you don't damage any of your gear

Dynamic mics do not need a pre-amp. So just go straight into the compressor. Some dynamic mics do need a cloud lifter (similar to a mic pre), but most don't. So for the most part no you do not need a mic pre

On guitar you put compresor behind preamp too :-)
