Daniel! Thank you for so many years of inspiring music and stunning production.

Legend has it the vocals for Joshua Tree and So were done with SM57's in the control room with the mains wide open. As an engineer, I am often asked by singers how to get them out of the claustraphobic environment of headphones....we try this technique and it is fraught with problems...feedback....thin tone.....proximity oddities......phasing issues. What am I missing?
