Thanks Rob,
I'm headed into the archives for this list. Its funny: both ambient and lon=
g duration recording seemed much simpler conceptually than in implementatio=
n.
One lesson learned in the exploration of both forms of recording is that yo=
u cannot replace planning and research for practice and experience. There h=
ave been at least a few "unknown unknowns", that is, things that I didn't k=
now I didn't know (to quote a linguistic genius but dubious leader).
