Hombre.
no probs , its just fun eh ?
i just wanted to keep it friendly/fun,
cos i just like fun in life.
sometimes gear talk just gets too serious imho.
like some AES shows i attended once yonks ago.

then there is the aspect , can a great audio engineer
(i'm not one..just a songwriter.), get good results from
lower end gear ? some say yes.

just for fun , once i can get outta the house
(been snowed in...lotsa shovelling....lol.)
i'm gonna go get a hi end pre,
record some vocs dry, and post a short file here in the thread,
together with some other pre's n see what folks say.
i "will cheat" (lol....half the fun ...) n try n condition the other pre's
after recording...as best i can
viz the hi end one.

i will use the same 57 mic with each.
just fun.

ps...to PepsiFX357 .
just comparing the latest two bencooke mp3's.
i sorta preferred the latter N72 this time.
(both are dry ? it seems ?)
overall tho'.....sound picture wise , and talking as
a music listener i still really like best the original.mp3
backing mix posted first in this thread by yankee.
it just gets to me somehow in a nice way.
