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. :-)

As a former broadcast professional could their
be any doubt as to the validity of your comments?.

I remember it was Keith G who pointed out that "Plowie"
(as he used to call you) could never listened to any
snippets posted. And when Keith was here, there were
some very interesting snippets:-)))

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.

Blue Tak seems to have been a standard mounting
accessory exclusive to TV music shows. Nowhere else.
String players talked about it often, and aparently told
TV sound assistants "not to stick that muck on my
instrument" So did their violins remain without a
mic? "Call, the sound supervisor!. This clown has
stuck a lump of goo onto my £250,000 Amati"

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?

Nothing. In terms of training, job prospects, advancement
oportunities, salary, and level of interest, broadcasting
sadly, came right at the bottom of the table.
