Neumann TLM127, U89, U87

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

SM57 works real good for saxophone, that's what I used in the past.
The U87 would basically just be for vocals, maybe acoustic guitars or violins (have to compare with the AKG C451 which I like at lot), and in a few years, who knows, maybe I'll put one on each element of Terry Bozzio's drum kit, hahaha
We'll probably try to keep you informed with the To-Mera recording like last year, so stay tuned for more adventures

Just don't leave the site directory with the entire album open to the public again.

Yeah, it sucked that the FTP was playing fun and I couldn't connect to it for days

if you don't like the Brauner, go for the Russian NevatoN MC51. Kicks ass on female vox.

Yes, SM7 is on the list, but I see it more (maybe I'm wrong) as a microphone for grunters. ...

like Michael Jackson and Anthony Kiedis?

but you're right, it's not the best mic for female vox...I'd 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th..) the U87......I like 414 on many female vox, but I don't really dare saying that cause there is not much love for that mic on this forum .

nothing, it's a great mic IMO...just not for every voice (but that goes for pretty much all the mics).
the 414 is my goto mic for all non-nasal female singers and I use it everytime I do M/S recordings (often on acoustic together with the m160).

I'm not sure if this is the sound you're looking for but I've been drooling over getting an M-Audio Sputnik for a while now. Such a lush, warm sound
