Mm. They never offered me enough at the interviews Tony, so I left the
business.

Their loss it seems.



Perhaps we should all set up a new audio company to show how it should be
done :-)


No money in it.

Rupert - or his minions - certainly produced some fine sounding gear. His
EQ - and compressor/limiters - haven't IMHO been surpassed yet. Although
I've got a couple of really ancient Pye compressors that are even sweeter.
I'd love to get hold of a working BBC Lim2 - designed before WW2 - and
perhaps the nicest limiter ever, but memories tend to be short, audio
wise. One case where valves do rule?


You can so just about everythig on a big DSP in software these days.

Which I wouldn't mind...its not the hardware..its the algorithms...

If I could find a decent testbed to try em out on...

LOL!,

This was a long time ago now. I left Neve after falling fowl of the
"prayer meetings after work" policy that went on there;!. Course they
wouldn't get away with that sort of caper nowadays..

Was that when they were at Melbourne (Cambs, not Aus) ?
I think nowadays it's more "work after work" as the business is so
cut-throat.

Was highly popular when I looked at one of his TV designs and told him
we wouldn't touch making the UHF tuner for it under any circumstances or
at any price! (and we made crap!, which did actually work!)

Sound decision that.

I worked on that bloody thing. I proved it wouldn;t work. I was bawled
out for it.

Taught me more about marekting and being a coin man than anyine lese I
worked to sice, and they've all been crooks mostly.

The very biggest get knighthoods/peerages of course. Sir Francis Drake,
Lord Archer etc etc.

That's the one. The Royal Mail insist Melbourn is in Herts as well even
though it is physically in, and pays taxes to, Cambs. There's a genetic
engineering company there now.
