Greg Wells on Recording With Royer Ribbon Microphones

Producer, mixer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist - Greg Wells has an amazing body of work, with songs on over 85 million units sold to date. In this video Greg explains how he uses ribbon mics in the studio every day and how important they are to his work.
A partial list of artists Greg has produced and written for include Katy Perry, Adele, OneRepublic, Keith Urban, Twenty One Pilots, Mika, Timbaland, Deftones, Celine Dion, Rufus Wainwright, Idina Menzel, Holychild.
Special note:
The music in this video was something Greg wrote, played all instruments on, and recorded one morning (!) to test mics and sounds in his studio. Royer’s John Jennings heard it that day and liked it so much he asked if he could have a copy, so Greg called it “Rawk Out For John” and sent it over. Killer groove and sound - just Greg getting down. Turn it up!

I have a 121 live and a 122 48 v - is the 122 safe for a loud guitar amp in a live room? Thx!
