Sometimes Getting Good Sound Is Simply Knowing What To Avoid

Of course, that's "NOY-mon" U-87...which IS a top-notch mic.





C'mon - the dude missed becoming one of Spinal Tap's drummers by some fluke (mainly because he was a guitarist), so they let him be their live sound guy...he's GOT to have some killer skills...in there...somewhere...right? Pretty sure he mixed "Jazz Odyssey", anyway...
