Sorry, i did not mean to say that your recordings were still dry. My
"you" was meant to be a generalization, but re-reading it, it sounds
like a criticism. It was not meant to be so. I think you are doing
intersting experiments and making useful discoveries about recording
processes, which you are also sharing with us. Thank you.
Regards
Anthony
