Any "hey there!" surprises you want to hint at? (I'm really interested if the C4's rate, as features-wise they're a great package.)

Bear

Bear, I'm gonna' wait on any comments until we do the next set of sessions. : )

Which is CD1 - drums or guitar?

Both, Flatpicker. There's an ORTF pair on drums, and a single SDC aimed at the 12th fret of a Larrivee acoustic.

There's pics in the TLS gallery of the drum mic positions.

Drums: 14 tracks of omni pairs and 32 tracks of cardioids for 46 tracks total.

Acoustic gtr: 14 tracks of omnis and 32 tracks of cardioid for 46 tracks total.

The SDC CD1 has 92 tracks in all.

List of SDC mics and the track order on drums and then acoustic gtr. [ The CD insert also lists all the input gain settings on the Millennia HV-3D mic pre used for each microphone. ]
