DREW KRAG: Hey guys, this is Drew Krag with Gearwire.com for another home studio workshop. We’ve been in the studio with the PreSonus Eureka. It’s a class A preamplifier. And we’ve previously used the Studio Project C1 microphone to record my Larrivee acoustic guitar and we recorded it dry. And then we put it through the Eureka and we had you listen to the difference. And obviously, huge boost in levels, beefier sound so to speak, a little compression, did a more desired EQ setting. So it did a lot of great things to that guitar. Matter of fact that was one of the first times I’ve actually used the PreSonus on that guitar and I really liked it. Now, we’re going to look at direct recording and how the PreSonus Eureka can influence the sound of say, a guitar plugged direct. So you’re going to see two clips in this video. The first clip is going to be me plugged directly into my sound card. So it’s going to sound a little dry and kind of bad and then the second clip, we’re going to run it through the PreSonus Eureka. Then you can see how the PreSonus will color the sound, make it a little bit warmer, beef up the levels, compress the sound a little bit so that we can get a more desired recorded sound. So take a listen to the first two videos. Remember the first video is dry. The second video is the PreSonus Eureka. Enjoy.
