I've been through so many threads but im in need of some more help. if someone has a few moments to help id be very thankful.
Basically i hae a week to build an optical compressor that has that "musical" edge
I have in my basket on www.maplins.co.uk (im based in the UK)
£50 worth of stuff i think i need to make an opto compressor. but.. im still unsure really
and i have no idea how you power the unit?
Ill be making my own freehand pcb (never done it ) using 1/4" jacks to input and output.
including an on/off switch
pots to use as a ratio control (not sure how to do this yet)
and a capacitor and resistor kit. as im sure ill need them.. lol
(i really am a n00b)
Ive ordered 3mm led's and a grain of rice bulb just to see which is best.
and the LDR's i ordered are 16k-33k is that ok?
last thing was obviously just a plastic housing to hold the unit. any comments, hints,tips, advice !! anything would be GREAT !! thankyou
EDIT:
Also someone helping me how to construct it would help, the links provided are too complicated for what i want, i originally said joe meek style. aslong is it can compress. slightly musically say in the style of a stomp box (as im using 2 1/4" jacks) is fine. Do i need to build an amplifier to run the bulb :S ?!?!
