You might be right bout the sound guy. I never considered that there would be one nor the role/effect they'd have on the band's dynamics.
I'm a KM84 man myself. KM85 for acoustics if there's one around (there's never one around). My first day as an intern I dug out a KM84 from between some couch cushions. I knew nothing of it at the time and there's still a devil on my shoulder kicking myself for mentioning it to the staff.
I never used a 67. I have used a 69 and still cry to this day about losing an eBay bid war for a tube version. It went so cheap!
Yeah, tighter patterns are a compromise. (I would love a 441 or 4 though) I get the purpose of the TF sessions but I think they'd benefit from more traditional recording sessions. I know they've done such in the past. If I'm going to scrutinize a microphone give me good conditions. Though I reckon these are supposed to be live mics and hence live sessions. Still, vary it up.
I use the API plugs all the time. At least for sweetening. They're just fun and easy to use.
