[sdiy] Volume control with LDR´s ?

[Michael Buchstaller]

Hallo friends,

after some good time with a scratchy pot, i asked myself if it would
be possible to build a volume control using 2 LDR´s in series, controlling
the lighting of them anti-parallel (if one becomes more light, the other one will see
less light and vice versa) to replace a volume pot.

Has anybody done this ? If yes, what were your results ?
OK, from time to time i see LDR´s used to control parameters like filter resonance
via an LDR to make it voltage-controllable - but would this work for audio ?

All your opinions are welcome.

Thank you all !
