@drillabeats They were all running into a Martech -> GML EQ -> LA3A (modded). Recording all the shootout mics at the same time means that none except the centermost will be optimally positioned. We'd be judging most of the mics by their off-axis sound, rather than the true result. I agree that different performances can affect the shootout, but we ask the vocalist to try his/her best to be consistent. It's always a give/take. :-)
I have a question @multiplatinumpt. What is behind the singer? Is it fiberglass? A mattress? And how thick is the absorption?

@apshinn I *think* they were gobos created with 705 & some fabric. Don't quote me on it, though. This was recorded in Oceanway Nashville Studio C.

Could you expand on what he was saying about matching mic pres with mics? how did he come up with +4 db?
thanx!

this tonality is good to me and I'm not even there. Were all of these mics running into the same preamp?
Why not record all of them at the same time and then compare? I'm just asking.
