    "[Kendrick]'s also had a studio in his tour bus ever since we were on tour for the first album. If he didn’t have that, he’d be recording in GarageBand! So we made it easier for him, and set up this studio in the bus, with a simple setup, consisting of a Pro Tools HD rack, two mics, the Sony C800G and a Telefunken U47 and an Avalon mic pre. Nothing crazy, just stuff that allows us to get down ideas"

    A Sound On Sound article from October 2010 talks about the recording process for Eminem's 2010 album [Recovery](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_%28Eminem_album%29). Eminem's recording engineer Mike Strange talks about the vocal mic Eminem prefers to record with in the studio: " "We have a large live room at Effigy, and we have Em in there with some gobos, and a Sony C800 microphone, going into an [Avalon 737 mic pre](http://equipboard.com/items/avalon-vt-737sp-mic-preamp). It's the microphone that [Dre](http://equipboard.com/pros/dr-dre) uses, and Em likes it, so he's always used it. In all the years I've worked with him, I don't think we've ever tried another mic. It's a little bit like a guitar player who digs his old Les Paul: you don't take that away from him. We have a few C800 mics, because we tend to burn them up quite quickly. Em has two, I have one, and Luis has two or three. Because it's a fairly modern mic we've never had problems changing from one to another."

    Britney used the C-800G on two tracks on Circus, according to Andy Page, the co-producer: > "I recorded/engineered/programmed/mixed 2 songs from "Circus", "Out from Under" and "My Baby", both produced by Guy Sigsworth. The vocal chain was a C800G going in to an Avalon 737, then straight into ProTools via a 192."

    In [this article](http://www.avalondesign.com/testsite/news_090305.html), it quotes Dr. Dre saying, "I like my vocals to sound 'crystal.' I use the Sony C800-G for vocals because it has a clean sound and about 85% of the people that get behind it sound great. My main objective is that the vocal sound is present and clean and ultimately does not distort. I get the sound I want out of the EQ on the SSL. We've used it forever and have made many hits on it, including 50s 'In Da Club'."
