Has anyone had any experience with this? Or has anyone had any experience with the ART GOLD MPA?
Thanks in advance

Gp,

From reading posts on other studio gear bbs the Art Gold is a very low end pre-amp. Thats not to say it won't work for you. I actually tried one in a music store about 6 months ago using an re20 mic. i recorded just some dry, flat vocals and played them back on Event 20/20s... I wasn't too impressed nor was i disappointed. However, I ran the same set up using M-audio tampa mic pre and the results were clearer and a bit more lively.

Hope this info helps you out.

Steve

I've not been impressed with the ART Gold MPA. Not only did the unit I have for review break, but the quality of the sound was really poor (and the unit it was replaced with? Definitely unimpressive for the $).

The Trackmaster is definitely a step up, but I've got to be honest when I say that I am left unimpressed with any of that line of Focusrite product. I didn't enjoy the preamps on the Trackmaster, and the Voicemaster Pro... don't get me started. I had that unit added to the chain for less than 6 hours before calling someone to get it the hell out of my studio.

If you're going to spend that kind of $, I'd recommend a RNP/RNC combo.
