Hi,
This has no doubt been asked before, but I'm coming back to DIY audio after about 10 years away and having trouble drinking from the firehose again
I'm trying to test an old SSL compressor clone that I built "back in the day", I've got an old oscilloscope but I no longer own any other studio gear to input a signal to it so I'm trying to figure out the best way to test it.
Has anyone has any experience with cheap "sine wave generator" kits on ebay/amazon (like this one) as an input signal?
In terms of my approach I'm intending to input the sine wave into the XLR input jacks (not sure yet how I'd connect these units to an XLR out) and then try to trace the signal through the unit using the scope. I'm not sure whether the "cheap wave generator" is the best approach (could I damage my laptop if I used that instead?), any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
