I would disagree with this; I've had just the opposite experience.  To me,
drying seems to make the flavors fade.  I think it's because during the
drying process, water is constantly being drawn out of the food, which
prevents the seasonings from being drawn in.  Also, if you marinate before
drying, then a lot of the spices go down the drain with the marinade when
you move the meat to the dryer.
