If there any other mikes that Stevie performs and records with .Please add.

I've talk to a friend in the recording biz. the other day He said the most important thing is have a match the mike with the performers voice.

Check out this great interview with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat from the 1970s.
They get into specifics about which mics were used on what instruments while recording Rumours.

Here's Shelly Yakus from 1982 talking about recording Stevie...

Yakus says "No matter what the company says, all microphones of the same brand and model don't sound the same". That's like what your recording friend was saying...you gotta match the mic with the performer's voice.

Thanks very much for the info.I will read later.And welcome to the board.
