Yeah, thanks, Allen. Anyone who can write computer code seems to be
smart - one who just does sound may or may not be! Gee, I can't even
drive Windows.

And yes, there are things I obsess about that most humans don't even
suspect!

Really, I was being falsely humble, as I have never seen an audio file
expressed as numbers - though of course that is one way to describe
them. If he writes his own programs, then no wonder it seems natural to
Gianni and foreign to me! But the minutiae of the millions of mic
positions for an acoustic piano are second nature to me, along with how
to talk to your microphones!

Thanks for the dialog, and no I ain't dumb! Stupid sometimes, but
that's different.
