Frankly Iain, there more 'artifice' in a recording the worse, I feel -
all
this *technology trickery* stems from people trying to create the
'perfect
sound forever' on crappy CDs, I suspect....

But digital reverb for example makes it all so easy. *Dozens* of preset
effects in a 2U box!

It was much more fun to use a lift shaft, and stick a speaker in the
bottom and a mic at the top, and use that for reverb, or put the
drum kit out in the stair well, with a wet tea towel towel on the
top head of the snare drum, and a sack of spuds inside the
bass drum.. We don't have fun like that anymo-(


Not surprised - can't always find a wet tea towel when you want one, can
you?
