I couldn't help myself - it sounded like a lot of fun and it really turned out to be quite tricky. The song is a civil war folk song I heard around 1960 recorded by Theodore Bikel. There were no harmonies - just TB and his guitar.
I went from the mic to the ART preamp through a noise gate so I could cut out the disk noise. Probably a little too much gate - you tell me. There is no EQ - I tried to EQ with mic placement and distance. That was the tricky part since it's my voice with the same basic timbre and idiosyncrasies (that's a big word for the parts of my voice that suck.) I then added a tiny bit of compression to the overall mix. Three hours. You can tell me how many parts you think are there. I tried a lot of cross-harmonization to get a thick sound.
Have a ball! There's a ton to critique in this little two-minute mix. It's called "Two Brothers" (only 1.8mb - a quickie!)
