RedBook can sound amazing. For proof, go to the Royer Microphone site, and order their $4 sample CD.

Recording good musicians in a good room with Blumlien techniques requires just two quality mikes. I have two matched AEA R84 ribbon mics that sound fabulous. I've also got a set of matched Neumanns. Simple is the easy way to get fabulous recordings, but it requires the more from the musicians, and you can't fix it in the mix. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
