Production Notes
This was the point where I finally abandoned the idea of combining my two vocal audio sources - iPhone and condenser mic - because of the extreme difficulty in getting them to register after stitching for tempo. Most of the time it would work out well, but just occasionally, due to the differences in ambience, the two signals would contain unmatched transients, and any attempt to bring them into mutual agreement would result in - not just distracting echoes and phase effects, but actually disturbing ring modulations, worthy of a 1960s Dr Who episode. And Paul made it quite clear, he was not standing for this sort of treatment!
