Chris: Great point...these kids can't possibly imitate the sound their pop heroes make through technological means in an acoustic setting. An afternoon in a recording studio would open lots of eyes...the tricks they can manipulate are unbelievable. I once recorded a children's album and one woman could not sing in key. They did many tracks and pieced her together using the best parts from each track and sometimes doubling the vocals. She sounded much better in the final mix. The rest of us soon left the group and formed a new group of people who could actually sing well acoustically. Our second recording was a testament to good technique since we did many of the vocals all on one track with each singer doing their own harmony or melody and the blend was GREAT. Jacqueline
