General Comments:
#4 and #6 sound fine as far as my ears are concerned.  The easiest section to ABX on the others is from about 11.7 to 13.5 seconds.

1R Rating: 3.7
1R Comment: Some loss of stereo separation.  The hi-hats in particular have moved from slightly left to almost center.  Easy to hear once I was aware of it.  When she takes a breath after singing "hands up in the air", I think it sounds slightly different, but I can't really say how.  I don't think the problems with the snaps are as noticeable as with #2 and #3.

2R Rating: 4.5
2R Comment: Hi-hats are a tad smeared, as are the snaps.
---------------------------------------
3R File: Sample11\TheSource_lame.wav
3R Rating: 4.0
3R Comment: Between #1 and #2.  Stereo separation of hi-hats is better than #1 (but still moved a bit towards center), snaps are slightly worse than #2.
