When you record them, you also get to factor in mic, mic position, preamps (ocassional) compressors and real, good-old-fashioned H2O (air)
I have recently seen an application for a job in which the applicant put at the bottom of their CV a set of dates during which they would be unavailable, followed by the statement: "Apologies for any incontinence this may cause".Unbelievably, they got the job! :)Roo
Awesome. Can't beat that good old H20 for its properties in transmitting sound!
