AKG C12

Avg price: $8,457.50

"I've got an AKG C12 from the '50s, which I used for Alanis, and I've also got some of the gold reissue ones, which are remarkable and best for female vocals. While the original C12 I have can't be touched in terms of sound when it's in peak condition, it's very delicate — I'm constantly getting it worked on — and the reissues are quite comparable."

— Glen Ballard, songwriter and producer for Morisette's debut album Jagged Little Pill

Neumann U47

Avg price: $16,111.00

"But [songwriter and producer Glen] Ballard’s latest project, an acoustic re-recording of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill required techniques a bit more delicate. Ballard’s collaboration with Ms. Ironic on the original was both artists’ biggest commercial success, and they commemorated the albums’ 10th anniversary by revisiting the songs unplugged.

The acoustic instruments were captured at Westlake Audio Studios (where Ballard once jammed on the synth of Michael Jackson’s Bad) with his cherished standbys — a vintage [AKG] D12, and a trio of Neumann mics — a 49, 47, and 67. These went through outboard Neve 1073 preamp, a classic Neve BCM-10 'sidecar' console."
