Me in 1994:

“Let’s mic the toms with (3) 421s, the snare top and bottom with SM57s, the high hat with an SM81, an RE20 on the kick back and an AKG D112 on the front. Let’s get a pair of 414’s on the overheads and a pair of u87s in omni for the room. Let’s take the drum mics into the outboard Neve pres and the outboard compressors straight to tape and monitor through the SSL. I want the guitar mic’d with a 441 and a second SM57. Let’s also take a direct feed. Let’s get the bass direct and throw a D112 on the bass amp. Let’s get a pair of KM84s on the piano. Let’s also get a U67 up for the lead vocal and we can replace it later if we need.

Me in 2025:

“Let’s get 416 up”.
