Of course, if the roomtone is fairly quiet, and/or there's TIME
for a crossfade, then the boundary effect doesn't have to be an
issue. The crossfade can often be so long that it sounds like a
natural change in the environment.

Thanks Allen
As well as given me the confidence to push trying to see where
this
approach would take me for a bit you've inspired me to start
(yet
another) cut and paste manual for myself with some of your
really
practical useable tips. I really got the idea of the
relationship
between sync, reverb (accidental or otherwise), and perceived
directionality.

That's something I hadn't thought of at all. It's right the
interface
between the how and the what (luckily neither are fixed in stone
yet).
thanks again
