Hey guys,
I'm new here so go easy.
I'm interested in building from scratch a Controller for my DAW. I've built preamps and the like before so hopefully the building part wont be that bad. What i'm more interested in is the price.
I was wondering how much i should expect to pay to build a unit to these specs
33 faders 32 standard and 1 master.
Push buttons for solo, mute. Pan controls on every channel.
Display above every channel similar to what people are building for the Us-2400, something to display track name pan position and metering.
Controls on the side to change banks for the faders to control 64 channels in the DAW a play, pause, record button and maybe if possible a jog wheel or the like to move around in the DAW.
And if possible a plug in controller..
Cheers
Building a full controller what would be the price?

Cheers guys been slowly doing my research (only thought about doing this today).
I was originally looking at buying a second hand Tascam US-2400 but i think for the price i can build a unit thats twice the size with LCD's displays and better metering.
I run a small recording studio in Melbourne, Australis and working ITB can be a little boring so having a large DAW controller looks impressive for clients, and also helps me save time and energy.
After researching i think i will build a 40 fader unit with solo's mutes and and pan controls for each channel as well as all the added controls on the end.
I will let you know how i'm going over time and i'm sure I'll be asking for help a lot :)
It will be a slow build over the next few months as money becomes available. the one thing i will need to work out right now is how wide the unit will be as i'm also in the process of building a new studio desk that holds all my rack gear, monitors and patch bays....
Cheerios
