Motown mics

Hey guys I'm trying to get that old Motown sound, similar to what Daptone Studios are doing these days. What mics would you guys use on the different instruments to get that type of sound? Drums, guitar amps, bass amps, horns etc?

Using Royer ribbon mics for everything but vocal

I'm personally following Fab Dupont's recording and mixing tricks, specifically hybrid recording and how he does it.
I just finished watching this video on how he used Royer mics to record some of Will Knox songs. It sounds really good and I hope you enjoy this. I love the sound of this artist. Reminds me of some old Led Zeppelin acoustic work.

Problem recording two lavalier mics in close proximity - Help!

I'm having a serious audio recording problem using two Sennheiser MKE 2 lavalier mics in close proximity. Here's the situation. My wife and I are recording a live video broadcast. We sit directly next to each other facing a video camera. There's only about 6 inches between our chairs. I speak very loudly. She speaks very quietly. Both mics are going into a Mackie Onyx mixer.
