Phil Collins

In this article Yvan Bing, sound engineer on Phil Collins' album, Going Back, says, "I used rackmounted Neve 1081R mic preamps for all recordings — they're based on the 1081, and I drove them pretty hard, with the meters always going into the red, to get some analogue distortion and saturation before going into the digital world."

In this article Yvan Bing, sound engineer on Phil Collins' album, Going Back, says, "For most of the recordings, I had a Beyerdynamic M88 on the kick, a Shure SM57 on the snare top and a Sennheiser MD441 on the bottom, another M88 on the low tom, a Neumann U47 for mono ambience and one Neumann U89 as a mono overhead."

In this article, Phil Collins explains the role that the M88 mic has in his recording process.

I think the first keyboard I had was the Wavestation. I got that around the time of But Seriously. That would have been the late '80s. After that would've been the 01/W. I was still in Genesis and Tony (Banks) and I both got the Wavestation the same day.

The 01/W was just invaluable. I wrote so much in hotel rooms all over the world. Then I got the Trinity when it came out, and I started using that more than the 01/W.
