Analog vs Digital

Just an observation.
If you want to fatten up your recorded Sub-37 mono audio tracks, just re-record the audio from the original MIDI tracks.
The beautiful thing with analog is it's slightly imprecise and random nature of pitch and timing makes no 2 audio tracks exactly the same.
If digital is double-tracked like this, you get phasing, chorusing and other lock-step anomalies appearing in the mix.

Very good point. When I am working with an inexperienced vocalist and they say just "digitally dub the vocal." I always try to explain why a real second take is better then a digital dub or copy. It always comes down to the inconsistencies. It is the small differences in the two takes that make it sound beautiful. Within reason that is.

This hadn't occurred to me with the Sub37. I will try it out later. Thanks Sir.
