"For recording vocals, I use a Neumann U87 microphone going into the Avalon 737 and then into a LA-2A compressor. The signal then ends up going through Symphony I/O finishing off in Logic where it gets captured and edited."
"For summing, I use all Symphony I/O outputs that go into a Dangerous 2-Bus summing box. After that, the signals get processed through a Tube-Tech SMC 2B multi-band compressor for that finishing glue. Finally, it comes back to the Symphony I/O and gets recorded to Logic."
