Thanks Julien, your suggestion is very detailed, I have more than
something to try now :) Originally I was thinking of a real-time
solution, but the "more than one take" way seems something classic and
that I allways wanted to experiment with, and probably as you suggest
gives best results. I'll definitely play with this stuff!
