Unexpected Gift

As we started this process, we spoke with anyone we know who has experience with recording. One of these people is a friend from our House Church who records professionally, including orchestras. When we asked him for advice he said, among other things, "Give me a call sometime and I'll let you borrow my microphones."

Awesome. I gave him a call. Here's what we get to borrow...

A pair of Microtech Gefell UMT 70 S


A pair of Neumann KM-88i


A pair of Milab DC-63


A pair of Neumann KMi with different capsules


These mics are amazing. Getting to work with them is a real treat. It may seem obvious, but the real benefit of these microphones is how they reproduce exactly what's happening. The downside of this is that you need to make sure your performance, the instrument, and the room are sounding exactly the way you want.

We have been using the mics to experiment with the song "Move On". The next post will have some examples.
