Oh yeah!

That's how I learned to do this stuff.  A 14 year old kid with no money. 


Once I saw how much audio processors cost back in the day, my next 
thought was "How do you build one?".

Now the early recordings were not recorded from air, so you missed some 
of the wonderful sounds of aliasing distortion and other strange items 
due to my early stereo generator designs, and lack of 15 kHz lowpass 
filtering.  By the time we got to the later years with me as a pukey DJ, 
i managed to solve this and start tackling issues with pre-emphasius 
management, so those recordings *were* "off air.

I do have a couple of tapes somewhere (I think) of the off-air audio. 
It sounded pretty decent for the most part...but because of songs like 
"Material Girl" and such with really high frequency stuff going on, it 
would make a horrible mess of my stereo signal when the aliasing 
happened, so I didn't like recording from air. LOL.

It is sure nice to finally own a home.  A lot of these recordings have 
been boxed up for years.  Just ran across this stuff a couple weeks ago
while unpacking a mystery box...
