Greetings DIY Audio forum; I've been in DIY and audio for a long time; nearly a 15 year career in live sound; DIY eurorack synthesizer builds of others design and aspirations to put together original designs eventually. I originally learned I was into all this apprenticing for an old hammond organ/original synth repairman; and have a passion for that original analog circuitry and resulting sound. Also Tape. Tape stuff is really cool. My biggest problems are usually finding enough time; the patience for surface mount soldering (when required) and some of those "well I never had to think about that - rats, wish I'd have known" kind of situations - which will probably be a decent amount of my posts here - the idiot checks and asking for input on how to improve a design before I go stubbing my toes over it. Can't wait to make more cool stuff!
