DIY DI Box. Active Direct Injection at its best.

There are so many projects out there to build, but no DIY equipment collection is complete without a decent DI box. Direct Injection is an important element to any live sound or recording rig. Whether you are recording guitar in your bedroom or in a super-studio, you will more than likely require the use of a Di Box of some description.

How to build a midi controller - DIY virtual analog controller.

I haven't posted on this blog for a while. Busy with my day job and have been out of project funds for a while. I've been kinda quite on the gear building front. But, with Christmas holidays and a little overindulgence, I have found myself with some spare time to build a box or two for next years projects. Something that is quite new for me and has been taking over my music composition fancies is a little application called Ableton Live 9. Being a staunch Pro Tools user for the past 15 years has taken its toll, and to be honest this new (for me), "non-linear" way of making music is causing me to once again gain real inspiration from a piece of software. So I decided to build myself a small midi controller for the purpose of servicing some plugin EQ, compression and synth parameters.
