Hey, is there an echo in here?  OK Fritz, I get the picture, but I'm not 
trying to make excuses, just looking for a way to get better recordings out 
of my Tron.  Believe me, I'm very happy with what I have, just wish there was 
a way to crank up the volume in my *studio*.

Actually, there have been quite a few good tips since starting this 
discussion, but most of them I can't use in my current environment.  I had no 
idea that so many people were miking up their Trons.   I'll have to try that 
one of these days when my neighbors are on vacation.
