On my guitar, they had me miked with about seven mics. The cymbals were miked to capture their sound. Knopfler's amplifiers were miked with 57s, 451s, and Neumann U67s. Rooney also coordinated the recording process while Robert Williams miked the vocals. I couldn't believe they miked the whole orchestra and could accentuate each instrument. Then they miked the Sun Columns.
