Hi--

I rented a Neumann U47 with its frequently mentioned companions, a Neve 1073 and UA 1176 compressor. I've been using ProTools 9 with the MBoxPro, and a couple of dynamic mics. Since the Neve + UA + U47 are considered "standards," I'm guessing that there are some recommended settings for that gear, at least as a starting point. And I understand that some people like less preamp flavor and others like more. But can anyone tell me what the "common wisdom" is for the most common basic settings with that gear?

BTW, same question about the other mic I rented: an RCA 77 ribbon mic.

Thanks for any help--

Joe
