Really valuable insight. Thank-you. Much to think about in there, and I'll be adding to my notes from your advice. I'm actually quite negatively opinionated on QT in many ways, but that makes the passage referencing him no less interesting. Thanks again for your thoughts and the time taken to...

Over the last day, I've pretty much resigned myself to the inevitability of having to hire a sound recordist in order to avoid killing the project at its technical inception, specifically as a result of the realization that "it's much too easy to get a lot wrong" when it comes to the sonic...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll be back a little later with my own responses when I have a few more moments to type. Any further insights/suggestions are very much welcome in the meantime.
