OK it’s time for some DIY.

After a small break from my DIY antics… mainly due to a recording studio evacuation and a couple of house moves, (the usual things) it’s time to get back on the DIY road.

This time though things are different. I have this site to catalogue my various projects and post nice pertty pictures when I finish them.

The first thing I will be posting is a new project I’m undertaking out of necessity. I ‘need’ to build a mix buss to sum the outputs from my DAW ( Digital Audio Workstation for the un-acronysed)

There is the never ending argument of ITB (In The Box) vs OTB (Out The Box) summing.

‘floating point integers mathematically….therefore ….. impractical ….summing …..digital domain….. satisfactory??’

Hmmm… did that make sense? None if it does thats why Nyquist remains theory.

All I know is that summing in the analogue domain makes mixes sound better.

Maybe our ears like errors. After all….crunch sounds good doesn’t it?

Back on track….

I’ve got loads of little bits floating around….rack cases, transformers, a couple of 2520 DOA (Discrete Op Amps), Neve BA283 circuits, a broken 1176 circuit and bucket full of resistors etc etc I might as well put it all to good use….

I’m sure you are as excited as I am to watch me start cutting holes in my fingers as I attempt to mount toggle switches in 2mm steel rack panels with nothing but a craft drill and a metal file….

Watch this space…. DIY is back
