I think I might have just heard a recording of Faith Hill singing the NFL Sunday Night Game using a Model 7.

I must have it !!
I shall try to record this next Sunday as it is an amazing effect if my assumptions are correct.
I was listening and watching her as she is an amazing natural beauty. Just jeans and a white shirt, but nobody wears jeans better than this Lass,
Anyway I always try and guess what effect is being used on solo instruments and especially vocals. Her vocal is an ambience preset of a top dollar verb, that I must admit I cannot tell what unit it is. It is not the regular ambiences heard in TC's or Lexicons.
The vocals are perfectly on top of the mix and while I noticed a Limiter was being used since there were " 0 " dynamics, just a rock mix of Balls to the Walls type of mix. But there was this slight ambience which was so hard to describe. It seemed to grow and shrink at times but had no chorusing or tails what so ever.
This is very similar to what the Country Western groups are using lately. I have noticed this before, but never really listened as the Joe Bob stuff just is so tiring, like pop rap and hip hop, one always knows what to expect with the tune.
But yes I am weak for the oppisite sex still, and this caused me to focus more than I normally would. The NFL mix is way different from the Nashville sounding Yoddlers.
