Studio Gear used by Norah Jones on Day Breaks

Preamps

Universal Audio 2-610

Avg price: $1,550.00

Used for Jones' Wurlitzer organ on "Feelin' the Same Way" and the background vocals on Come Away With Me, as stated by producer Jacquire King in this Universal Audio interview.

The 2-610 I used pretty extensively once we got back to her place for bass and Wurlitzer. I did some background vocals with it.

The 2-160 was later used for the "Wurlitzer, guitars, and bass" on The Fall, as stated by King in this February 1, 2010 Electronic Musician interview with Jones, King and his assistant engineer Brad Bivens.

The only thing I brought along was the Universal Audio 2-610. [“And the Massenburg MDW Hi-Res Parametric EQ to add extra fluidity to every channel,” Brad Bivens adds.] The Magic Shop and Sunset Sound have wonderful Neve desks and lots of outboard gear, and Norah has wonderful microphones. So instead of carting things around, I just brought guitar pedals undefined, speakers, and the 2-610, which is a tube mic pre with EQ. It was used for Wurlitzer, guitars, and bass. The vocals were recorded through a Neve 1073 module.
