OK, that's a good start.
One thing I'll say for Samson (Tech) is their sup****t staff are very good.
I
pinged some questions backwards and forwards, and I think I have a better
understanding of the right approach - I just need to experiment a bit more
now.

Not that I'm aware of, although Sonar LE's got so many features it's
bewildering.

I suspect it is, as the fan noise here is quite loud.

Hopefully with some of Samson's help I can tweak this, but I agree that it
was caused by being too close.
I'll probably do another podcast at the weekend, so will see how it
improves.
