Neumann U67

Avg price: $7,206.40

Used for the saxophone on Angelique Kidjo's Remain in Light cover album, in addition to the flute on "Listening Wind", as stated by engineer Ryan Nasci in this May 14, 2018 Mix Online interview.

“Listening Wind” also features Martín Perna from afrobeat group Antibalas on flute. “I captured flute with a Neumann U67, and I was running it through a Korg SDD-3000 delay,” Nasci recalls. “I had an aux on the board, so I was able to ride the delays as he was playing live.”

The Antibalas horn players also contribute trumpet, saxophone and trombone parts on the album. Nasci set them up in the dead room with a Royer 121 on Todd Simon’s trumpet, Neumann U67 on Perna’s sax and Shure SM57 on Raymond Mason’s trombone. “I also placed an R88 in the live room, to get that intense live room sound,” Nasci says.
