room humidity control

[David Skolnik]

Don -

I am certain that you are correct regarding the ability of such units to be 
operated while actually recording, unless, of course, the lowest recorded 
level is higher than the machine's output.  But, in most recording 
situations I've encountered, short of having a designed air handling system 
that balances temp and humidity remotely, and handles air exchange 
noiselessly,  all air systems are turned off.  It can get a bit 
uncomfortable, at times.   To me, the point is less the recording aspect 
than what should be done for the general environment.
