SO. We did some strings. Emily and Susan from Exit Clov came in and tracked many, many layers of violin over a few tracks. This was my first time doing strings so played it safe and set up a couple options. Started with a Crowley and Tripp Naked Eye and a C451EB as closer-mics for each (going for one darker, one brighter tone), a Pearlman TM2 overhead getting both, and the Copperphone as a room mic, just for kicks. The 451 was right away apparently not right so it was swapped out for the Royer 121. The NE was backwards, using the brighter side of the ribbon. The NE and TM2 ran into Mercury M76m, the 121 in Phoenix DRS, and the Copperphone Altec 1566a. This worked out pretty fantastically; when we did multiple tracks of them we could just pan to make things sit right with a little volume automation to push things back.
Vox. Same as before, mainly. TM2 into v276/Sta-Level, sometimes the EQP1 to open things up a touch. Blending in random mics for color.
