This has been posted many times before.

And Bruce Swedien did not record "We Are the World".

That enviable task went to Humberto Gatica. I remember years ago there was a mixmag totally devoted to it and he talked about what that was like. I remember he said he used something like 4-6 C12's. I think he said they scrambled all over the city to track some down.
