I just Recorded Deepak Ram yesterday at My Studio. After careful deliberation I chose a Beyerdynamic MC-740 in Omni Mode. It beat out a Neumann U87 in a blindfold test. Mic Pre's tested were Millennia HV3D, GML, Atlas Juggernut and John Hardy M1. = The John Hardy won. But they all sounded very usable.
I had Deepak sitting on the floor with the Mic about 18" above him. I used no compression, as the tracks will be edited, and he was overdubbing on some Indian/Fusion Tracks I am producing. Basically i was trying to get the Bansuri tracks as pure as possible.
