Compressor/Limiter, Preamp, Normalizing??

Jmorris is right. It is a point of discussion, and it's not so cut and dried, as in "Never compress on the way in".
I absolutely agree that it's not a "never" situation; seasoned engineers compress the tracking as part or all of achieving the final desired sound of the vocals on the way in all the time.

But I do believe that it's a very black-and-white threshold as to whether one should or not:

If you have to ask the question, the answer is probably "No".

Heh, yeah, I didn't catch it until I thought about it after I already left the computer. Hey, give an old man a break; I'm having a hard enough time saving my energy for having to go out after lunch to chip the ice off the car with a broken ice scraper :(.

:D

I admit I don't know a whole lot about Patterson other than knowing he's a blind guy who always needs a shave, a couple of news interview sound bites, and that Fred Armistan did a hilarious take off of him on SNL last week. But unless Patterson is a certifiably delusional sociopath with a Napoleon complex who's heroes are Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley, he's got nothing on Blago. The difference between standard Illinois gubernatorial corruption and Blogo is the difference between run-of-the-mill political greed and textbook mental illness.
