"on [Lullabies to Paralze] we used different mics on different songs. I rented a Brauner VM1, and that worked really well on pristine vocals. It's a beautiful, very clear-sounding mic."
In the Garbage video, "Girls Talk," Shirley Manson can be seen using the VM1. Her husband, and Garbage's longtime sound engineer, Billy Bush, describes its use on other recordings here: "The first record was all (e lam) 250, version 2.0 was 250 for leads and most backs, some VM-1. beautifulgarbage had a couple of tracks that were all VM-1 - "Drive You Home" and "Silence Is Golden". The James Bond song "The World Is Not Enough" was the VM-1." https://www.gearslutz.com/board/showpost.php?p=137086&postcount=14
"When Labrinth works with other artists, he always does so with them in his studio, and has them singing by his side in the control room into a Brauner Valvet mic."
"The Brauner/Tube-tech combination was really good," enthuses Andy (Keane's Producer). "It was the same unit I used for the bass guitar, so I was always having to readjust the controls. Generally, I applied a bit of compression, and a load of top EQ. I quite like using EQ while recording. If something sounds a bit dull at the recording stage you may as well EQ then as opposed to later, especially when you have a nice bit of kit like the Tube-tech to hand. Besides, we didn't have that much analogue outboard and the Pro Tools plug-ins don't sound as good." - Sound on Sound.
We were influenced by albums like Kanye [West’s] The Life Of Pablo, Frank Ocean’s Blonde and all of Drake’s stuff from a sonic point of view. We were really working on getting a high-end vocal sound, which would be great against the darkness of the drums and the bass and it would allow Stormzy’s vocal to really cut through. The main mic we used was a Brauner VM1 into an Avedis preamp, into an API 550 EQ and a Tube Tech CL1B compressor, so it was a pretty high-end chain. We also used the UTA preamp as well, which has its own EQ on different tracks. Then we would take Stormzy’s vocal and bounce it out through the desk and through another compression stage – we’ve got the UTA Fairchild compressor, which is incredible. -Fraser T Smith Producer for GSAP
Bei Minute 1:50 sieht man das Brauner ganz deutlich, auch an ganz vielen anderen stellen . Eig die ganze Zeit immer mal wieder. Sieht sehr ästhetisch aus mit der runden Mikrofonspinne
