Preamp/Graphic EQ suggestions
A buddy of mine gave me a Ghost Tube Preamp TB101 recently and I'm still unsure what the best settings for it are:
 Before I had it, I edited tracks this way:  Is there like a 'sweet spot' setting for the preamp? Or is it kind of trial and error to get the best sound out of it? Suggestions?

Re: Preamp/Graphic EQ suggestions
It's always trial and error and it's trial and error each and every time your recording anything. Nothing ever seems to work twice.
Some preamps sound about 1% better if you crank the output up all the way and turn the input down, but not all preamps have separate inputs and outputs. Other than that, I use the preamp solely for boosting the gain up to an acceptable level. That's it.
