[BC] Oh No another automation comparison question

[Steve Newman]

Bravo Rich! I couldn't have said it better. I've been doing voice tracks 
since the early 70's and (if you'll allow me) I've been asked quite a few 
times how I make it sound like I'm right there. My response? I recreate the 
moment. I put myself in the same place I would be if I were really there. If 
there's a stumble, I leave it. That's what would have happened if I were 
live. It can be done. It's a very challenging art.
