Hi,
I am building an LA2a from the book "HOW TO BUILD A TUBE COMPRESSOR". I have one question through. On the C 7a-d, it appears as though he has replaced the can with four 47uF @450V electrolytic caps on the drawing. However, these caps are run to the C7a-d Can. But if you are replacing the C7a-d can with the four caps you wouldn't have the can.
HELP

Has anyone here done this?

i found this on the web while doing some general research on design and engineering your own equipment and just reading some articles on bill putnam etc

just curious if anyone has and what the results were like?

thanks

Hi guys.

I'm hearing that your monitors are very important to the overall quality of your mixes.

2 questions:

I was wondering if it is worth building my own? And if so does anybody out there know of some good plans, complete with driver and crossover information?

I would like to know any tips or hints that has helped the more experienced people. I have a question I would like to put 4 windows in my main band room how much will the sound come through? I will put double glass etc.

Yep, I'm gonna try it. I don't really see what I want out there as a complete unit, but I see a lot of options.
I am really going to need some help on this, so feel free to chime in with solid info. :D

Hey everyone -

Lookin for some quick help to make sure I;m not making a glaring error- building a new DAW in the 700 dollar range. I record 16 tracks at the same time at 24/96, and looking for a machine to mix them on effectively, without huge latencies.

PC platform, building around 2 Delta 1010's as my soundcards.

hey all,

can anybody recommend a book or site which contains handy topics regarding building a project studio, i.e, wall angles, wall material, power standards, wiring issues, you know what i mean.
Something that has the do's and donts.

Hi! in a previous topic (see "upgrading PC to serial ATA standard") Big_D suggested me to consider building a P4 pc on my own - instead of going to buy an assembled one in a pc store. I would upgrade my recording station from P3 1Ghz ATA to a P4 3 Ghz serial ATA.

Hey folks,

Hello all. I've been waiting to jump into the world of recording for a while now. I don't have a lot of money, and it will mainly be used for my own purposes (not trying to get paying customers or anything! at least not for a long while) so I won't be buying top of the line equipment. I want to know what you guys think as far as where "budget" gear turns to "crap" gear.
