Re: Whats in your mic box and what your favorite?
Our mic locker has literally several hundred mics and DIs consisting of most of the usual suspects, as well as plenty of esoteric stuff from Earthworks, Telfunken, and Nuemann.
I have rid myself of every non- Radial DI, with the exception of a couple T85s I keep around for the folkies that insist on them, though that request rate gets lower every day, and a couple of other artist specific odds and ends. (sansamp, etc)
I don't foresee the SM57 changing as my favorite all around mic any time soon. Though it's seldom the ''just right'' mic, it is NEVER the wrong mic.
In the interest of content and context, the act that I tour withs input and mic list, we usually carry the mics:
