it's not a preamp it's an Interface and it works completely differently. preamps don't translate pure sound, they put their own flavor on it, just like sound cards and every other analog device. interfaces have zero flavoring of their own, they just transmit the sound and get out of the way. sonically speaking, they're completely transparent, you'd have to spend close to a thousand bucks on a piece of analogue equipment to get that transparency. btw, you can record on an interface to your computer with NO soundcard. Soundcards are for analogue gear, not digital.


...you know...digital gear in the digital age...just like your mic?
