So that's what we used.

On my songs I used a Peluso 22251 instead of the Neumann. Sounded way cooler!

Thx to Luc for doing the mix cause the ones we got from the producer were not in the right direction that the label was looking for and I didn't want to do it (I had 6 songs to do already in a very short timeframe!)

Sonny,

Everyone will agree that Neumann U87 is a great mic, but each vocalist has a mic that is best suited for him/her. Some singer sounds great in a 57 and some others need a C12... Pamela seems to have a lot of sibilant in her natural voice/prononciation.

It seems that based on the tracks I receive, the U87 wasn't for her but I'm looking forward to hear some tracks using the Pelusso 22251. Seems like a great vacuum tube mic.

More info on the Pelusso here: Peluso Microphone Lab

The most important thing is to make the song work for those who are going to buy it. Period. You're not the artist; it's not your song. If the artist is happy and the label is happy and people respond to the music, then you have done your job. Sitting around playing with your toys isn't going to help make the song a hit.” - CLA
