I have to agree that often ribbons and good dynamics work better than cndensors, even good ones.

I've worked with the Blues Brothers section a lot. First time I wasn't really equipped or prepared. I put a 414 in front of Alan rubin on trumpet.....which he immediately dismissed a "Cheap Japanese Shit". I told him it wasn't Japanese, but he reiterated it was "Cheap japanese shit". We settled on a 441.

Next time in I had 2 Coles 4038. He loved the Coles through a Focusrite 115. He liked it as much as his personal U47.

On Sax Lou Marini was very partial to a c12VR. The other Coles went to Birch Johnson on Bone...though he also likes RE20.

One session we had the great Ronnie Cuber on Bari. C12 worked on that.

I really think this section is unbeatable. Certainly in the top 3.
