Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums

We tracked the Stevie Wonder classic, "Higher Ground," with the Roswell Aztec, Colares, and Delphos II. The video below is the all-Aztec mix. We used the mic on male vocals, female vocals, guitar cab, bass cab, keyboard cab, and drum overheads.

The Mini K47 KD (kick drum mic) was used on the kick drum.

Female Vocal, Piano, Guitars, Bass, Drums

The gang at Ultimate Studios wrote a short song to exercise the mic. The track is only 75 seconds long, but shows off two electric guitars, acoustic guitar, bass (through a guitar rig), drums, and female vocals.

Notable timestamps:
