what was the staple mic at Motown Studio, KM86?

a ribbon mic.

my friend in NY does just that with his band, Dub Is A Weapon.
he plays guitar, but has a small mixer set up onstage w/ some pedal effects.
he does his own mic'ing(alongside the house mic's) - snare, guit, horns & percussion i believe - and sends the effects mix to the house desk. works a treat!

i have a 50/50 and bought the atr master tape on recommendations of a bunch of peeps here but found that the otari isn't really capable of the headroom necessary for such high output tape. i switched to some quantegy 406 and am much happier with the results. nice creaminess and smoothing - not too ...
