“The Classic”: what mics were used on what pieces?

[optofonik]

What mics were used for both the standard configuration and the 4-mic setup when recording “The Classic”? I didn’t find any info in the “Details” section or on the forums.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

I looked at one of the videos that described the 4-mic setup but did not go into the regular setup.

I think your best bet would be to look at the behind the scenes footage along with the video for the Classic and see if you can make out what mics were used. We don’t have that information anymore, I’m afraid.

I see:

Snare Top: AKG C451/Shure Sm 57
Kick: Yamaha Subkick?/ U47 FET
Hi-Hat;AKG C451
4 mic Omni Cardioid Ambience setup mentioned: Neumann U67/U87 mics
Room: Rca 44 or 44bx/I also see a 77dx.
Rack Toms: Sennheiser Md421 mics
Floor Tom: Neumann U67 or 87

Meh… It’s pretty much impossible to tell what was actually used based on the video. The mics could have been different on certain kits and who’s to say mics weren’t swapped around post-video? This was tracked in a pretty awesome studio. I seriously doubt there are no track sheets. Peter, Chris and Mattias Eklund were all there. They might remember.
