I'll be honest man, "good quality" doens't have anything to do with a preamp or with a soundcard.

it's the mic, an interface (they're all the same quality), good wires, and good headphones.

that's all. Everyhing else you could possibly desire aaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll comes from EQing. EQing is key yo. if you think you can just slap on some effects or just record dry and cut it you're dead wrong.

that shit's good if you wanna make music you're gonna give away for free, but it ain't gonna cut it for shit you want to get ahead with.
