Which is why I favoured the approach or the NLS because there are 32 channels of subtle variations there with their own harmonic characteristic, so they are less likely to build up. But as you would anticipate, if I'm using the NLS pregain it becomes a less favourable idea to use them in conjunction with other pregains.

Interesting POV
