Tom--
The method places the two events (A/B variables) very close together 
which seems to make it easier for the mind/ear to recall the nature 
of "A" when "B" comes along with its change.

I use very brief (2-10 millisecond) "equal power" type cross-fades 
between the clips.

Looking forward to your results.  I like the additional low octaves 
your rig is getting compared to some dish recordings seem to lack. 
Center-Side mixing ability would interesting to consider for field 
adjustment. Might require a mic level mixer of some sort though. 
Maybe someone has a cheaper_easier DIY solution?

If you think of it, direct your dish to a neutral spot on the horizon 
for a while too (just presence is fine). I detected some some 
resonance in the room recording and we can see if its repeated 
outside. Rob D.
