3. AKG C 414 B-ULS & 1073
4. U87 & Avalon 737 vt sp
5. U67 & BAE 312a
6. U47 & Manley 610
I know none of these combinations are ideal, but I'm trying to provoke intelligent responses from the experienced pros that I know you guys all are.
Thanks - can you give your reasons!  |
Well, I know this probably isn't what you are looking for, and maybe someone said it already (I only skimmed)... but if it was an artist of that stature, and there was a budget, I would have all of those chains set up and ready to go... and maybe a few more. Then, when she got there I would spend some time doing a shoot-out. Whatever sounded best to me... and she agreed (this part is important... they have to love how they sound), would be what got the call.
That's just me though. There is no way I can hear a particular vocalist and say... oh... I would go for an SM-7 and API for that guy... etc. I mean... ya just never until you are there... ya know?
