Making of a DJ Mixer - Part 0

[@danieleden1856]

Looking forward to this! Keen to learn: 1. Choosing components for audio path integrity 2. Spec'ing powersupply 3. Output transformer selection criteria 4. Audio FX send/returns per channel

[@mixersinside]

@@danieleden1856 Thank you very much for those suggestions! Straight away I can say there will be no FX loop. Can you please explain what do you mean by "audio path integrity"?

[@modernrice]

Instant subscription from me. I can't wait to come along for the ride!!

[@eeempe]

perfect timing to discover this channel

[@SkyHigh.GlobalGrooves]

Loved getting to see your origins and starter projects along with the failures. The best learning tool is failure and it seems you learned quite a lot!

[@MajorVibezSound]

Nice! I will follow the journey with interest!

[@gal3sz]

Wow u are already a legend!

[@nvp-music]

Yes! I was hoping you would do this. This is gonna be great!!

[@jacobrosen]

Hah, this is why i asked about an op amp tierlist on the other video. I've been thinking of building one too! I will follow this with great interest

[@mezzo2005]

Can’t wait!

[@JakeLDS]

This is great to hear so much of your story. And I really look forward to seeing your mixer complete. I’d love to learn how to build hifi speakers. Maybe you can build some hifi speakers next.

[@jasonleyson7825]

Wishing you all the best on your journey to building your mixer! I’ll be following along!

[@distantcomets]

Thanks for sharing your background! This looks like an amazing journey - I've got a mixer project of my own and can't wait to see how this progresses!

[@williamryan4959]

Yes! This should be interesting!

[@florianliely5440]

Wow thank you so much !! Sooo looking forward !! Thanks Kamil

[@flyhi1ghkomp]

Excited waiting for the sequal and your insights. 👍

[@АртёмКиселёв-д8ы]

That's very interesting! Can't wait to see more!

[@arend3669]

crazy, I have wanted something like this for 2 years now... You are doing dreams my man! I love you

[@HDMixtapesChannel]

Looking forward to this series, thank you!

[@FloppyFeel]

Get in there Kamil! 🎛️

[@breakz187]

Exciting!

[@cer_mal0]

Thanks a lot for this!

[@thomallmas7739]

Yooo that‘s so cool, really looking forward to the rest of the series!!

[@jaycastelli2339]

Full support. Thank you !

[@chuckmakesit]

"More obsessed with the gear itself than actually playing..." Sometimes that feels like me with DJ equipment. Very interested in following along. This project combines my interests in DJ mixers and DIY electronics (mostly ergonomic computer keyboards). Don't feel even remotely close to understanding audio circuits to create my own, but still seems an excellent project to follow.

[@djmarzek]

This is very interesting, thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing the development of this project

[@sergeyknyazev7066]

Oh, I'm your soulmate! Mostly the same interests in audio❤

[@MrNodgrass]

not sure what i want to learn.... but super keen to follow along.

[@tomg4320]

I'll be following this! I've had an eerily similar journey starting with guitar effects, going to university for Engineering and now working in industry. I've spent a lot of time in the valley of despair too! I completed my 4ch mixer project a couple of years ago and have been wanting to do an improved 2ch version with some different features - hope to get inspired by you!

[@mixersinside]

@@tomg4320 cool to read this! Did you publish your project somewhere?

[@tomg4320]

@@mixersinside tried to reply but it seems like links don't make it through? Yep, it's in my folio - google Sieger Audio

[@joenass]

I'm really looking forward to this.

Look forward to the series

[@pablospace]

Wow! I was suscribed now I just hit “the bell”

[@pablospace]

Please consider to relese it as a DIY kit. 🥹

[@mixersinside]

@@pablospace it will require soldering tiny SMDs so it will be unsuitable for most of the DIYers.

[@chuckmakesit]

@@mixersinside I started DIY electronics as a beginner with keyboard kits that required soldeling small surface mount diodes, I don't feel it's impossible to overcome. More about the right tools and patience. Also if you were to opt to go open source with the design and allow folks to source our own PCBs, services can install the surface mount components pretty inexpensively. This is also a common route in the DIY ergonomic keyboard community.

[@NAKeaveny]

Very cool

[@СтефанАтанасов-у5ы]

UREI 1620 or Bozak cma-10 , that’s the question :) Thumbs up! I will follow the new coming series! Do it how do you feel it and that differently will be correct and almost perfect ! (There is always room for improvement :) )

[@Ireful]

So very interested. Would love to know what it would take to make my own DJ mixer.

[@RaquelFoster]

I just want to make a Xone 92 but with the HPF/LPF/para EQ from the Model 1. And it'd be nice to have the balanced connections and DB25 snake from the Model 1. And a SPDIF/word clock so I can connect an E-mu XL-1 Turbo and a Roland XV-5050 or whatever. I should probably get a MasterSounds Radius.

[@fat_dubs]

Nice to learn little bit more about your background. Even though you already said no fx, I would love a send for each channel, I also wanna know a bit more of the summing circuit, It is a mistery for me how some mixers do it so well and others let room for improvement hahaha

[@mixersinside]

@@fat_dubs I would love to know the scientific take on what makes summing good and be able to exactly name the qualities of good summing that can be exactly and repeatedly measured. So far my most used tool in this field is just ear and experiencing summing music instead of measuring this phenomenon. I will gladly think about the methods of measuring summing qualities and all the tips are appreciated.

[@rebsutube]

i realized i'm already subscribed :) if project goes well and gets a pro case, i would be in for.a DIY kit

[@mixersinside]

@@rebsutube good to know. I bet there will be no DIY kit tho. We will see :)

[@danielzahariakezdi]

epic

[@braien25980]

Yeeeeees🙌🏻🍻👍🏻🏆🥰😅

[@illbience1]

I'd like to know, in more detail, the reasons why the Urei mixers are often louder (have more gain) than comparable digital mixers, and why despite its high output tne music is glued togetner by a quality that I have to call WARMTH. Evem when it was loud, i didn''t hear it lose its listenability. I wanted to TURN IT UP.

[@mixersinside]

@@illbience1 you were probably saturating the output transformer and feeling the orgasmic effect of harmonic distortion.

[@lostinsotchi]

Nice ! Did you plan to improve the RIAA stage or keep the original schematics of the 1620? I'm sure it could drastically change the whole result.

[@mixersinside]

@@lostinsotchi stay tuned. For sure changing the phono preamp will change the result.

[@ben6527]

Hi, i am a Design Student from Germany. And i fell i love with gear too. For my assignment i have Designed my own Mixer and digital player in 3d. I would love to collaberate with you and work with you on the Design of your Mixer. I’m Loving the project

[@mixersinside]

@@ben6527 please contact me: [e-mail]

[@nckwntzl]

Open source please 🥺 Also if you sold diy kits I would probably buy one :)

[@mixersinside]

@@nckwntzl for now I see no chances for making it open source. I think that showing the process is already a lot compared to what other mixer makers are doing.

[@sickciarlatano]

compleately unrelated but with what camera did you record the footage with? i love the analog look

[@mixersinside]

@@sickciarlatano old SONY camera for cassetes, i don't remember the model.

[@nvp-music]

please let it be a analog 4 channel rotary with 2 pre/post aux and dedicated returns(so 6 channels I guess), hp/lp filter with resonance per channel, 3 band eq, isolator, phono pre amp and line on all 4 channels, booth out with eq, rec out with volume control, master insert, high quality components and awesome sound. this would be the perfect mixer but if you build this It will probably be expensive AF and I won't be able to afford it anyway.... 🙄

[@mixersinside]

@@nvp-music as I already mentioned in the video it will be heavily inspired by 1620 and suited for my taste. I'm a fan of more minimalistic approach. But it's not said that this is the only mixer I will ever make.

[@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND]

a desktop UREI, Through Hole (high quality components), send/return per CH, 3 band EQ per CH, master isolator and similar faceplate / graphic design (basically an ARS but better components inside) would be a winer in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mixersinside]

Can you please explain why should I use through hole components? Thank you.

[@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND]

@ well the market is divided in 2 segments Boutique (through hole, discrete etc etc) where the customer pay for human labour and pay for a desired quality and “exclusivity” and than Mass production (affordable surface mount products etc), unless you are not a big company like Behringer , Roland it make sense to refer you production to the first segment which is more niche but far more loyal and sustainable for one man or small company (one man company is impossible to compete with big corporations they can copy and replicate your SMT product for far more cheap that you can do), tho what big corporations can not do is to produce THROUGH HOLE products and maintain margins fir the same price of Boutiques, (if Pioneer would produce an exact copy of Condesa they would ask 10 000 or more to maintain sustainable corporate margins), tho BOUTIQUE companies are thriving (mixers, synthesiser, eurorack). this is from an economic sustainable business point of view. talking about my personal taste AUDIO ONLY THROUGH HOLE AND THROUGH HOLE ONLY never SMT CIRCUITRY for AUDIO DEVICES for me i would rather use just a laptop than any SMT. the Idea of bringing the 1620 as desktop and implemented with send/return/ eq/ iso like Condesa did with Bozak could be a winer key selling point 🤷🏼‍♂️
