Did you take a look at the console and note which compressor they used on Pavarotti?

I very much agree with what you said Gary, but getting anyone to master anything here is an uphill battle, be it singing, playing, editing styles, whatever

Everybody seems either utterly happy about what they do, or claim no time or inclination to spend the time to improve (but they got LOADS of time to lurk and post here!). Hence my warnings. How many of us are a Pavorotti of ANY skill? If it takes lessons and dedication to get good enough for a headset mike, it doesn't bode well for it in most here's hands...
