Do what now? I don't think that particular version of Cubase ever existed. Cubase 5 did... Cubase SX, SL and SE did... but not Cubase 5XL.

so my question is about the pre-amp. i see for about 200 he can get ..
PreSonus-BlueTube-DP-Stereo-Microphone-Preamp

or for about 500 he can get a recording channel, which looks to be just 2 pre-amps.. but in a differently designed box..
PreSonus-Eureka-Pro-Recording-Channel

so if anyone knows any real differnces in them, and if one looks to be better suited for this situation... id appreciate it if you let me know.
The pre-amp probably isn't the problem. If he can't get a good sound with a cheap pre-amp, a channel strip is going to fuck him right up. Once its recorded, there's no going back, which is the problem with recording with a channel strip. It's great if you know what you're doing, but not if you don't. You should be able to get good results with a Rode NT1 regardless of what pre-amp he uses. I'm not saying they're all the same - of course they're not. But the difference between them is small.

What exactly doesn't he like about his vocals? That's the first thing to define. Then go about finding out how to do something with it.
