I'm new to this site / forum and just wanted to say hello. I'm George and based in the UK. I started in electronics when I was at school, building radios, amplifiers etc. All the usual suspects. I went on to study electrical engineering to degree level from 1977 - 1981 and then worked in broadcast tv as a sound installation and maintenance engineer. My home projects continued with adventures into music keyboards and synths (none of them worked particularly well!) as well as other music / audio related circuits. I have been away from engineering for some time, having left the engineering sector to become a film sound recordist in 1987 and retired from that field about ten years ago. To be honest, the new digital arena is a mystery to me. I am an 'analogue man', that is where my passion is and I'm glad my career in sound was largely analogue in nature. It's nice to find a place where like-minded people can come together and help out.
