Cool.. Yeah it seems like there is no "right" or "exact" way to do anything when it comes to recording.... That goes for gear too. Since every room, player, ear , etc ,,, is different!

I am beginning to understand the complexities..

Newbies (like myself) are always looking to speed things up...

But Experimenting is the best method and has been enjoyable !
