Well done Sandro - you've been very lucky! It's true - being in the
right place at the right time only happens if you are 'out there',
and you don't have to be a professional player to set foot in a
recording studio! I suppose the earlier advice was based on the
demands of recording during a commercial session - where time is
money, and is more likely to be €25 a minute than per hour!
Technicians are people too, and I'm glad you found some who were
prepared to help. We'll have to find some way of getting your sounds
onto file....! :-)

All the best,
Dominy
