Big Ol' Session - Mic Porn - Echo Mountain

We had a big ol' session yesterday over at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC. This single includes a whole video documentary and we needed the extra space to spread out and physically distance. Included ETSU alumni Becky Buller and Tim Stafford on this recording as they co-wrote the song. Tracked totally live and quite ambient.

Instruments/Mics

Bass - U47 (Stuck up a KM84 at the figerboard, but didn't use it in the mix.)
Guitar (Tim's 1934 D-18) - Two KM84s (Had an M49 on the bridge, but it malfunctioned before the session started.)
Mandolin - KM84
Dobro - SM69
Banjo - Two U87s
Fiddle - Bumblebee Pro RM-6 Blumlein pair
Lead vocal - My U47 and Fairchild 670
Baritone vocal (me) - Ela M251
Female vocal - C12

I don't recall which preamps my colleague used, other than vocals were through their Neve console and bass through API. Guitar and fiddle might have been through GML.

A few observations after getting the tracks home and listening...

I was least impressed with the SM69 on Dobro. Meh.

In shooting out both U47s on vocals, mine (K47) is more tight and robust in the low end and has more of the "reedy" mid forwardness. Echo Mountain's has an M7 (I don't know if original, reskinned, or otherwise), which has an airy quality and less punch in the low end.

Anyway, I know how you all like mic porn, so here ya go!
