Thanks for all the great responses.
It's pretty clear that tech for the most part is secondary to the talent.
I heard a story from a friend of mine that was engineering a session with Eurythmics.
Annie L. was warming up in another room and he asked Mr. Stewart whether she had a mic preference. U67 etc. etc.?
The answer he got was..."it doesn't matter, it sounds good anyway".
(Should have used a Tandy cassette recorder mic :-)) .
I think we're going to have to use a condenser to get the right sound.
That means we need to use plexy drumshields and "silent" speaker cabs for the smaller venues.
Style is the thing.
Which condensers have best off access rejection?
I read that the Rhode HyperCardioid is very good on this.
From soundwise the neumann does a stellar job. I've used it for location recordings but never with pop/rock. In this case there is a hard hitting drummer and amps to contend with.
Looking for Sylvian, Bowie, Ferry, Norah Jones, Chrissie Hynde, sort of deeper, intimate, personal sound.
