To @blondiewales and other sound engineering types out there (I'm not sure who all to tag), how much processing is done on the vocals for America's got Talent? That rendition of Creep is interesting in that I watched his mic work carefully, and expected to see a larger variation on mic distance between the quiet bits and belting bits even for someone with really great control. Is there significant compression etc. happening in these cases? Or is he really that phenomenal with volume?!
@blondiewales Thank you for answering the call! That's really good to know. I'm working hard at getting better managing volume but it doesn't help to chase impossible goals

@sagemacg: I am pretty sure that in all 3 recordings a tube preamp with slight compression (a few db) is used.
