Anyone have any idea or care to take a stab at what mic was used for the lead vocal in this song?
I feel like it's a sound I need in my repertoire. But I can't seem to quite get it. Not trying to nail it exactly, as I'd probably need the rest of the signal chain and Steve Perry's voice to do that. But get closer.
My preamp is a Summit TPA-200. I've tried a TLM170, a U87, and an R84a with some eq to try to give it a bit of presence boost.
I'm thinking maybe a u47 style mic is being used. But really, since I've no direct experience with a u47, I may be way off. And I realize it may be impossible to tell. Just seeing if anyone can help.
And please no "It's not the gear, it's the performance"
Thanks in advance.
