I did some tracking for 50 back in the day.

I recorded the track for "P.I.M.P." (with Denaun Porter-- "Kon Artis" of D12). It was cut to 2". Mauricio "Veto" Iragorri tracked the vocals. Dre did the mix.

Dre doesn't use EQ when mixing-- he has his own mix style. He uses a bit of the SSL mix bus compressor, and a bit of compression (if needed) on vocals.

I don't know what 50 is using now for vocals, but I am 99% sure it was the c800 and 1073 for "P.I.M.P.", and I would bet $1000 that there was no compression on the vocals to tape.
