  • Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

    Paul & Linda McCartney · Ram, 1971

    • French horns · MicrophoneReportedThe engineer believes this model was probably used, instead of the larger U87, on the French horns for the low-register flutter-tongue effect, with McCartney wanting mics right up in the bell.Position: Close in the bell of the horn, as McCartney wanted (the engineer says this was the request)

No plugin suggested. Microphone-modelling plugins only work with their own matched hardware microphone, so there is no plugin to link. Placement and the room matter more than the model.

Disclosure: plugin links currently go straight to the maker and earn us nothing. If that changes, affiliate links will be marked here. Suggestions are chosen on fit, never on commission, and are kept separate from the recording facts. More.
