What's your favorite microphone? If you have been a studio musician or engin then you must be familiar with the packages out there. My favorite would hav to be the Sennheiser.

Back when I was a working audio engineer, I got the opportunity to work
with two classic German mics, the Neumann U87 and the Telefunken U47.
These are by far the nicest microphones I have ever used; great for vocals, acoustic guitar and strings, horns, cymbals, and ambient recording.

Cool. Nice to talk to an Audio Engineer. I also liked the Shure SM57. Anothe great universal microphone as well. What mixing console and multitrack recor did you use back then? I worked on a Trident Series 65 and a Studer. they we great units. How many ambient mics would you use in a live room? I know that question varies upon the type of setup that it requires though. I was a musician and executive producer as well.

Oh, very cool. Yeah, the SM57 is a classic. Rugged and tough; you'd be hard-pressed to find a better mic for electric guitar amps and snare drum. I've worked on a few nice consoles, including Westar, Trident, an old Neve, and a few digis like the Tascam, and various Pro Tools mixers. Of course, I've used my share of Mackies and Berringers too. For multitrack
recorders, I've used Studers (amazing, aren't they?) -- 2 inch 24 track and 1 inch 2 track, Tascam analog tape machines, and various digital multitrack machines, like the Tascam DA-88's (and others from that series), and of course various DAW formats, mostly Pro Tools, but also Sadie, Emagic Logic, and others.
I haven't been in the business for over a decade, so I don't really come across big fancy gear much anymore. I content myself with my small Pro Tools rig these days, but man would I like to get my hands on a nice analog tape machine (other than the old junker 1/4" 2 and 4 track machines that
are collecting dust in my basement).
It's been a while since I've talked audio gear! Good fun.
Wow. Yeah it is great fun. I've heard of SSLs are one of the big consoles no in studios. I remember Studers very well too. Locking 2 together to get 48 tracks out. I remember also setting on the console to 250 nwb @ 0 DB to calibrate the meters on the multitrack tape machine. I also remember the DBX compressors and the Lexicon Prime Time Delay. The Trident Series 65 will alw be remembered as my favorite console. I remember using Direct Injection boxe for Bass and Electric Guitars using the Rockman which was created by Tom Sch from the band Boston. An amazing piece of technology there. I've used Scotch 16-track 1" and Ampex 465 24-track 2" tape for recording. I remember back in school we used Ampex 456 but now is gluey and needs to go to the baking proc because of the molecular structure at the time.

Yeah, SSL and Neve are pretty much the most popular consoles in pro audio.
It's true, working with analog tape can be very challenging, but very fun too. I used to love doing alignment and clalibration, and hacking and splicing tape.
