I have frequented Diyaudio for about a year now. I can't rember how I found it. Something broken I think. I am a self taught recording engineer. I buy my gear broken when I can. Sometimes I can fix it, sometimes I can't. My successes are increasing thanks to Diy audio. I the last year I have bought plenty of new recording equipment that turned out to be junk. Through Diyaudio and audiophiles, my recording and mastering has changed dramatically. I bought a Joemeek mic preamp for $700. To my amazement, It was a pretty box with a bunch of caps, ICs, resistors and a transformer. I have almost everything here to build a dozen(except skill, but it's slowly coming). My ultimate goal is to build a modular mixing console of very good quality that is delicate to touch yet near bulletproof. I want it to have transformer channels as well as discrete channels. I would like it to have digital outputs but have analog quality and control.
I know I ask a lot of dumb questions but promise to answer the same questions if ever given the oppourtunity.
You have no idea how greatful I am.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
We are glad you like it here. Most of us are learning as you are, so we will hold you to answering some questions! 😉

Hi Chris
I see the alias "anatech" connected to some incredible experience. Even better.... Georgetown is not too far, If your services are for hire. Some things I want sooner than many learning curve will allow.

Hi Joe,
PM me. I'll see if I can help out.
The way I see it, the more you can do well, the better.
When I had to pick a user name, all I could think of was ANAlog TECHnician off the bat. 🙄

Now, how did you know! 
I know they did. It goes with the terrritory as you know. When acting as a project manager the same thing happens. I am determined the project is completed on time. Subcontractors don't like that too much!
They also know I'll be on site to check on the work often.

How did I know? ... because your not full of nonsense or yourself, and you have been "poor" (that's where smart/thrifty comes in) at least once in your life.

That's my current status! Has been for years!
Most people here are very down to earth. I respect that in a person. I don't have time to stroke the "other" kind. I suspect you're the same.
So what do your guys call you? (now that we are way OT, appologies to argonrepublic AKA Joe)
-Chris
Yep,
A little training in humility goes a long way. When I was very young; I wanted to be filthy rich. Sometime later I was very tired; I just wanted to be "comfortable". Now I just wish to be; comfortably filthy.
You're alright... let's drink someday!

Hi poobah,
Tell you what. I'll come down there if I can afford it. It's warmer!! Maybe we can drop in on some others, including SY. I want to sample the man's cooking! 😉

To heck with that... I can cook. I want to waste his vino on a very thirsty and unappreciative tongue (wookies are very easy about wine!)'
by the way I have many Poobah recipes... kid and girl tested... lemme know.

Welcome Argonrepublic,
You will find all types here. and there are good police here... you will find some very experienced, and some very brilliant here... usually both... just ask and then duck/hide/run for cover...
and then ask (or speak your mind) again.

Intro
I really feel at home now. Going to have to do some homework so I can relate better. I am actually an auto mechanic by trade. I tried to get out but it's like a vacuum. I think the most fun I've had since I returned to the shop was when a customer was quoted $600 for a new ECM for their car, I in turn charged them 25 cents for the diode I soldered in. I can't brag. The car was blowing Engine control fuses and wouldn't run. I isolated the short directly to the engine control module, when i opened the case, I saw the cooked diode. After I replaced the diode the problem was gone.I also removed a security system that I believe caused the original problem. They thought I was some kind of electronics whiz. It was good for my ego but that only lasted until I get home. I find Audio electronics very difficult and i've barely gotten my feet wet but I am addicted.

Hi Joe,
You did more by troubleshooting than most would. You also used common sense. I like you already!
Audio electronics can be complicated and take a while to understand. If this site was around when I was a young lad I'd have way more knowledge under my belt. As it is, I'm always learning. This is a great place to find things out.
I think you would agree with the statement that it's not the big things that will cause you trouble. It's the little things that will get you every time!
You also got a word in edgewise! Good job!
