Very good Randy. I know the scene very well. Just this morning I got a
panicked call from a local video post house that has been without an engineer
for two years now. Budget cuts, mean and lean business philosophy stuff. They
had all sorts of complaints lately about audio buzzes and hum, video that looks
sick, and graphics that gets lost off the screen. I must have removed about a
$100 worth of radio shack Y adapters and 93 ohm terminators from their system.
Now their VO talent doesn't sound like hees talking with a clothespin on his
nose. <G> I've got about two days of work there to get everything back in
alignment. Trouble is their editor, and two cameramen have discovered the
H-phase and sc phase trim pots through the tiny holes in their TBC's and have
worn them out tinkering. That should be good for a half day of TBC repair too.
