Hi Jim,

I forgot that you live in the center of the universe.

I imagine that when the Beatles recorded "All You Need is Love", that the vocals were recorded live with whatever effects are on the final master. I believe that on many of their earlier recordings, this was probably the case too. These are fine recordings which have stood up to the test of time.

There are as many ways to record wonderfully as there are competent folks recording. For you to make the claim that your methods are "better" or "more professional" is obtuse. This is the sound of me letting go of my end of the rope.
