However, it's not difficult to run into trouble during a recording if one lacks experience in dealing with various acoustics, etc. I'd suggest that most problems are caused by rather `peaky' unwanted resonances, which a really good equalizer can help to knock out. However, the engineer should really spot them with his/her ears before the CD is cut! yours, John Hayward-Warburton [log in to unmask]
