Next I'd try the U67, then the U47, and if at that point I didn't have a great sound, I'd tell Alanis to find someone else to record her. If you are set on sticking to your pre-selected combo's, than I pick 1 and 5. BTW, it's not cool to insult people who are trying to give you advise, even when it's not the advise you wanted to hear.

Thanks for your input. I know it make no sense. It was purely posted to spark discussion. An thank you for your input. I wasn't trying to insult anyone - I just know that we sometimes have a tendency to a) Pick our set-up with a kneejerk reponse (which is cool, if it works all the time) and b) Since we are gear sluts, we sometimes can have the tendancy to buy and use stuff without really listening to it, or thinking about the relevant applications. In this instance, I'm just tryint to address a specifac recording circumstance.

THanks a lot, Sean
