When Digital Audio Sucks

Nerd Alert!!

Where I work, we spent a fortune on a Klotz digital audio distrubution system, German designed, and used in a lot of radio stations the world over.  Its been fantastic.  We have 10 studios, and hundreds of audio sources and destinations - the system routes it all wherever we want without degradation or noticable delay.  In fact, upon a single core of fibre cable can travel 256 channels of 24bit 48kHz stereo audio.  It's really cool.

Mindil Beach

I'm writing this on a flight to Darwin.  Darwin is where I spent the first 14 months or so of my marriage.  I had many experiences there I'll never forget.  One was cutting paw-paws off a tree in the middle of a cyclone to impress my new wife.  Another was winning a Radio Award for best Australian Provincial Producer.  Becoming a Dad, sunsets at Mindil Beach, singing a solo at the city's Carols by Candlelight, riding bicycles everywhere because we didn't have a car – it was a rich 14 months.

Here's another Darwin experience I'll never forget.

Nervous Dude Seeks Employment

Its a Sunday afternoon and I've just been sifting through some old DAT's I found. Oh the memories...

I have a bunch of DAT's, CD's and 1/4" tape left over from my heady radio days when I produced commercials and other bits that most people who listen to the radio couldn't care less about.
