But not apparently on making decent stereo from mono?

Yes. They had some interesting ideas. No-one was
labouring under the miscoception that stereo could be made
from mono. We talked about the stereo illusion.

Thought I made by point earlier. You can't make good stereo from mono.
Any more than you can change lead into gold. But that has never stopped
people trying.

I ask again, did you listen to my demo?

Your comments would be of interest.

Heh heh. Think what you actually mean is you want comments that you can
attempt to score points from. ;-)

We were much more sophisticated in TV studios. If you wanted a slung
mic or two, there were electrically operated hoists to put them on.
And keep the floor clear for more important things. ;-)

Or stick the mic on with a lump of BlueTak :-)))

You would rely on BlueTak to hold up an expensive slung mic, Iain? I'm
afraid most of us in TV have more respect for the tools of our trade. And
the health and safety of those around us.

But it is good you are keeping up with the current trend for 'fake
news'...

Lots of very interesting departments in the BBC, Iain. Or rather once
were. Did you never visit Kingswood Warren?

Yes. A friend of our family was a senior project engineer
there. It was he who suggested to me a career at the BBC.

So what went wrong?

It's probably long closed?

Indeed.
