We found that Shirley's vocals would phase out when we were stacking 12 or 16 vocal parts so we switched up the microphone to try to keep that from happening. It's also the mic we used on the Bond theme "The World Is Not Enough".

On Beautiful Garbage we used the VM-1, a VM1-KHE and your Elam at different times depending on the vibe.. same chain. On Bleed Like Me, i think we used the KHE and Elam but it was through the chandler limited LTD-1 and a TLA100 compressor. Most of those vocals were recorded in your living room using Real Traps Microtraps if i recall!
Wow, you guys only use the best of the best! VM1 on Shirley is a match made in heaven, no wonder those vocals are so good, because there are no weak links. Great Tone of the singer+Kickass mic+ Kickass pres+ Kickass Rooms= Kickass recordings!

And last but not least, you guys being incredible engineers and BV being an incredible producer too.

I just bought the last Subways album, it sounds incredible, a little bit of grunge revival I must say.
