Sound design and music production experience, undertsanding sound and signal flow

Having spent an extensive amount of time synthesizing, editing, and even recording sound, my interest in the world of audio, and effectively capturing audio, is embedded within me.  In addition, my current enrollment in the electronics technology program at Glendale Community College has coupled what I know about sound and signal flow with some technical electronics principles, providing me a better understanding for recording equipment such as microphones and analog tape machines.
