I would like to greatly thank you in advance for hopefully sharing a wonderful pearl of wisdom with us here.

Thank you for taking the time out for us here as well - much appreciated!

Keep it simple - get good sounds at source - do not rely on all the technology. Go with your instincts/gut feeling. Don't mic too close.
