Solo Recording Artist Amazing Mic Pre! As a solo recording artist, I usually only need one channel most of the time. After doing some research I decided to purchase the m101 as a studio upgrade. I'm extremely glad I did. If you are looking for a single channel mic pre that will help you get a clear and accurate recording of your sound source this is an excellent purchase, especially given the price. I can already tell a huge difference between my recordings prior to adding this to my signal chain. My hat's off to the Grace team on this one.

Producer, Engineer My "GO-TO" Pre for a clean, uncolored source I use my m101 almost exclusively with analog synths and effects which all have mono output, so one channel has always fit my tracking requirements, but I would like to have a second m101 for the day I pickup a Moog Voyager (which has Stereo Output).A lot of things can color your audio. The devices in your chain, the capacitance of the cables you are using (capacitance in your cables act as a low-pass-filter, absorbing/blocking high frequency analog audio, and as a result will color the audio), but the pre seems to have one of the largest effects.
In general the m101 is the type of preamp you want if you are looking to capture the actual source audio of the devices and the cables within your chain without any coloration or tonal changes being added by the pre. If a clean uncolored channel is what you're after, the m101 will provide. FLEXZ from June 12, 2014Music Background:
Producer/Audio Engineer SONIC HD QUALITY, HIGHEND RECORDING LIKE A PRO STUDIO Bought this Item from Sweetwater Since 2012 and its 2014... All I can say is WOW..Today I am going to guide you on how to get the quality of the Major Studio after you purchase the GRACE M101...because this is so clean and quiet you can use Waves Plugins, Ik Multimedia eq 73 to emulate NEVE,API,SSL... GRACE M101 into Focusrite Forte line input using Mogami Cable...Microphone- Project Studio C1, Avantone C12...Be prepare to be blown away and shock many..

Home Studio, Multi-Instrumentalist, Recording, Producing, Gear Fanatic. YES! PREAMP PERFECTION! I've learned that people talk about preamps more than politics and religion combined; and boy do they have their opinions! Haha! So here's (my) humble opinion after obscene amounts of research. You can always ADD preamp color, but you can't take it out. If you want the "color" or "tone" of a very specific preamp maker, then by all means, have at it! BUT...understand that everything you record will have that character. Not a problem IF that's all you ever want to sound like. However, the Grace M101 (as you will discover anywhere you look) is always described as "super-clean with loads of gain." And that's a fact. I don't care what mic I run through this thing (dynamic, condenser, ribbon), it gives it mass amounts of super-clean, dead-quiet power. And I have never (heard) the full potential of any of my mics until I got this beast. And NOW...with plug-ins being as powerful as they've become, I can very easily emulate the characteristics of essentially any preamp I'd like. WOOHOO!!!
