What struck me was that neither of them have what I'd consider pleasant or interesting voices. I don't mind a bit of AT when it's used to salvage an otherwise good performance that's spoilt by one or two fluffs for someone with a good voice who doesn't have to rely on it. But with these two -- aside the fact that Price's performance is possibly almost beyond saving -- it's not worth the effort of saving from an aesthetic standpoint as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps the only saving grace about her singing was that it was so bad it distracted my attention from the lyrics and the piece in general. Some compliment ;-) I'm also very grateful for Zita-at1. It really helped a mix recently where I had to use it on flute of all things. There were a few notes at the end of phrases (i.e. I was very out of breath) where the tuning sagged (and intonation generally was never my strong point). It wasn't much, but the correction made a big difference. I wouldn't hesitate to use industrial levels of it on my own voice if I ever decided to unleash it on an unsuspecting public, but I've managed to resist that temptation so far. That's what's lacking in people like Price, restraint! Talking of restraint reminds me of a saying that is particularly apt here: silence is golden, but duct tape is silver :-D Q
