When working with artists I like to ensure they are comfortable but once there is a strong relationship I like to introduce them to microphones that will help their performance and the recording.
These would be things I do regularly as part of my role as an educator and a producer.

Favorite DPA Microphones
- 4011 on violins and strings
- 5100 has been really exciting to enhance some of the immersive work I do
