¨¨###¨###¨ well.  it has some very real compression ##¨¨¨¨#¨¨#
#¨#¨¨##¨¨# going  on so  close  vox and other  high #¨#¨¨¨##¨#
¨###¨#¨#¨# volume things  are  very crisp and  with ####¨¨#¨##
##¨¨###### kind  of low  noise.  but  when  there's #¨¨¨#¨###¨
#¨#¨#¨¨¨¨¨ more of  an  ambience,  all  you hear is ##¨¨###¨¨#
¨#####¨¨¨¨          hiss and motor noise.           ¨¨#¨#¨¨#¨#
##¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨                                          ¨¨####¨###
¨¨#¨¨¨##¨¨  denoising techniques are simple. actual ¨¨#¨¨¨##¨¨
¨¨##¨¨#¨#¨ denoising for the  noise, and  maybe  an ¨¨##¨¨#¨#¨
¨¨#¨#¨####            eq for the motor.             #¨#¨#¨####
