I have set 48K sample rate in both Windows settings and interface and in REAPER preferences> Audio> Device I have un-checked 'Request sample rate' and 'Allow projects to override device sample rate' and in Project settings I don't set the sample rate (if unset, hardware default will be used). (But it might be: depending on how old it is/driver updates/particular model etc).ĮDIT: See further in this thread for clarification of what 'multiclient driver' actually means and how it's not necessarily relevant here.Īnother thing is that even if it is multi client there might be a sample rate mismatch happening. As usual a lot of internet info is contradictory and confusing, but I get the feeling that the MBox2 driver is not multi client.

To simultaneously hear youtube etc/REAPER the MBox2 driver has to be 'multi client'. you are the only thing that can get the most out of your gear.As well as what maralatho said about Windows settings: Dont just go buy a preamp because someone said it would make your gear sound better. Then as you can afford it make sensible investments in good gear that will last or atleast hold its value. Learn how to pull the best sound you can with the gear you've got. Try fixing it in the post stage, take some highs out, add some lows, compress the fuck out of it. Find out why you dont like the sound of your mic and then move it around and see if you can fix it. The second question (and the most important) should be what will make my set up SOUND better?Īnd let me tell you the single biggest thing that will make your set up sound better, is learning how to record. I'm talking RME/Apogee/UAD none of this MAudio shit. I would suggest that your next purchases should be a good interface, and a good mic. The first question you should be asking is what is going to be a good investment? The joy of the links in the chain means you can buy each little bit at a time and slowly bring your rig into being a pro rig. Good for cleaning up the tops of a shitty mic, but not 'a good preamp'. I have 2 of them, and I really like them, but the tops are very unclear.

What mic do you use? if you use a crappy mic, a better pre-amp will only reveal how cheap it is.īUT something like a Golden Age Pre 73 (as StudioGuyDudeMan) is modelled to colour the sound.

So saying you should record through a different pre-amp is a little silly without knowing what your chain is. when it comes to recording, unfortunately all your gear is only as good as your weakest link.
