There are four mp3s listed here, guitar and vocal. The guitar
is exactly the same on each one, but there are four different
vocal takes.
One take runs through an Otari 2-track tape deck as a warming
device, another through Empirical Labs' FATSO as the warming device.
A third has no warming device at all, and the fourth is the FATSO
using the tracking compression.
The chain for the vocal is: Neumann U87 mic to Great River
MNV preamp to Universal Audio's 1176 compressor to the unknown
warming device (or none at all) to Apogee PSX100 converters to
Pro Tools. One exception. The take using the FATSO tracking compression
does not go through the 1176.
Can you guess which is which? For the correct answers, please
