they are good in the sense that ull get ur gain and ull get 48v phantom power if u need it...
u prolly wont need any actual pres UNLESS ur workin on perfecting ur signal chain and its sound, some pres add certain color and flavor when paired with certain mics, this is an advantage because u can get a very specific sound for whatev genre/application ur workin on... for now tho u should be good tho

Yeah, for now I'm fine. I was just wondering how they would hold up for recording amps and vocals.
Once I get farther down the line of what I have running, I'm going to look into some mic preamps, particularly for recording drums. I'm not sure which path to follow for that yet, though. I might:
1. Get a mic preamp with a good amount of channels, or just a few pres.
2. Get a digital mixer and run it into the 1820m through ADAT.
3. Get a ProjectMix system to control Cubase/Sonar with, and use it as a drum mic panal type of thing. I'd get two uses out of it this way, but is the most expensive, more than likely.
As for now though, I have a friend who has a 16 channel mixer that I can use if I need to run a ton of mics at once. Only problem is that it's a powered mixer, and doesn't have outputs for each channel, just main 1/4 TRS and RCA outputs from main. Sort of a bummer, but it's not mine either...haha.
