Fav mics on LIVE sax - royer R122, C414, and RE20.

+1!!!

The curved model's timbre is so much nicer than the straight models, tho - in the hands of the right player, I like them both!

Schoeps and Royer mics, API and John Hardy M1 pre's...

incredible on real musicians with great instruments!

I used two ULN-8s and the pres contained within it. I used Peluso 2247LE on the tenor, a pair of Peluso P12s on piano, AT4050 on bass in fig 8, plus DI, Oktava MK-012 on guitar plus Millennia TD-1, Peluso CEM6 pair on OHs, RE20 on kick, SM57 snare, ATM25 on floor tom and D2 on rack.

Wow. Can you post anything? I love Benny Green.

Just a little picture from a "straight ahead" jazz piano and bass session right after Christmas.

Some baffles and blankets helped with separation. The photos shows the sight line between the pianist and bassist.
