HI ya ll do I have a mxl 960 tube mic and a focusrite trackmasterpro platinum. do i really need to go trhu my fcusrite or can i go straight to my mini mbox from pro tools and then use virtual plug ins to set it right....
Does your mini Mbox have preamps. if they do, i doubt that they would be as good as the focusrite's. Why don't you just use the focisrite's. I mean, since you have such a good preamp, why not use it??? you might regret it later if you don't.
Plugins are really only good after the fact. I mean, you first need a good clean strong warm signal. If the mini mbox gives you this then ok. but if your signal is weak or not great, plugins won't help. But first give it a try.
