- Instruct users to begin each recording with 10-15 seconds of silence. - Explain that Jivetalking uses the initial room tone to build a noise profile for Pass 2 denoising; without a clean quiet section the adaptive noise reduction will be noticeably worse. Closes #26 Signed-off-by: Martin Wimpress <martin@wimpress.org>

+**Start each recording with 10-15 seconds of silence.** Just sit quietly and let the room breathe. Jivetalking uses this room tone to build a noise profile, which drives the adaptive noise reduction in Pass 2. Without a clean quiet section near the start, the tool has nothing to calibrate against and denoising results will be noticeably worse.
