I build and repair musical instruments and recording gear in my tiny home lab and share what I've learned on KZread. I hope you'll learn something new from these videos and will be inspired to fix or make your own things! I think that would be great.
When I'm not doing this, I run Strange Science Instruments (www.strangesci.com)

Can I connect it directly to a small speaker without an amplifier?
It sounds amazingggg
Great information! you are a jewel my friend.
2 things, where can you buy the book, and where can you buy that iron?
@leomakes can you compare the unison version vs the native plugin version?
You don't need to understand difficult maths to understand convolution. It is just sliding one (reversed) function over the other and, at every point, multiplying them and integrating the result. I recommend watching But what is a convolution? by 3blue1brown to understand that. Even if you ignore the math there, you can get it from the visualisations.
10:35 most of us are likely looking at the legs, but he's referring to the plastic top corner of chip is beveled [where the yellow line passes]. Its blurry there, but can see clearly when sets it down. I barely caught it myself. Can see it clear at 11:49
I think your hands are cousins twice removed of, "This Old Tony." (I really like the talking hands style of narration.)
This Old Tony is a legend!
"this is far from ideal" yeah, it's ikeal actually
Very cool. As a fan of both reverb and Ikea, I must try this.
I wonder if it could be made smaller if used with thin metal sheet. I actually have thin brass metal sheet on spool, like 25cm wide possibly 0.1mm thick. Need to try this. There is one important aspect missed in this video! Corrosion! In this video it looks like steel - it will quickly rust and change it's sound. Maybe for better... But it will change over time as more rust will build up.
i cant believe asmr channels havent jumped all over electromagnetic listeners
Always been intimidated by SMD, I thought you needed ovens and paste and masks and stuff. Thanks, my life is changed!
Love that Grand Tour poster! (ePBT?) Noice beets, noice voice, noice d...doicumentation.
Thought that the eurorack level is to hot to plug directly into the stomp boxes..?
I was right. I heard extra fatness in the Avalon.
i still believe in the hardware but i love the plugins too.
Plate is the blonde in a bikini of reverbs.
Nice work man!
Great work
I noticed you didn't use flux in the component legs, do you not have to use flux on these on component boards?
what about a half normal patchbay to split your signal?
Thank you Leo!
Wonder if the woo crowd of audiophiles could latch on to this and start to deride people who use plates that aren't either titanium stripped off of an ex-spacecraft or gold plated brass.
Sounds amazing! Wonderful job!
Honestly, it sounds amazing, but I would much prefer to have an actual plate setup like you!
Dope AF!
hey im really inspired by your desk are you sharing your cad files for the eurorack anywhere?
I wonder if a shell would improve it, to minimize feedback? Probably doesn't matter as much with small monitors at a moderate volume, or at all through headphones (obviously), but if you use it live or at louder volumes, it might start to squeal...
@3:45 this is PERFECT. Every A/B test has to be like this. sound only. great job!
Thanks Leo. I appreciated the effort made to make the video as distraction-free as possible. How did you make your animated audio visualization? Also, FWIW, I heard the opposite of many others. I though the difference in the top end was cleaner and more detailed on the Apollo. There will be a big different in people's preferences based on the kind of work they produce. For VO and narration that top end detail can be important.
You can use denatured alcohol if you milling aluminum.
It would be interesting to do the same thing with 50 gallon metal drum. If you laid the drum on the side, and left one end open, you could then set a second mic up at the opening, and blend the reverb. I bet you could get some interesting tones. You could probably just get a decent size metal trashcan instead. This type of experimenting is the stuff that I like. It offers producers/musicians/sound designers, exclusive sounds, that you can't find anywhere else, unless someone copies exactly what you're doing.
Hi I know this vid is 3 years old and sorry for being so late, (I have subscribed though :). I have an issue that I hope you can help with. I have built a binaural mic, using a polystyrene head and 2 lekato lav mics, my idea was to do headphone reviews and record the audio from the headphones using the head, now, both mics work perfectly if plugged into the phone, but even using a splitter I can't get stereo, wich is the whole point. But, what i need to do is use either my audio interface (presonus studio 24c) or my mixing Desk/interface (zoom livetrack L20) and give each mic its own channel and pan left and right. The mics are trrs and came with cables to adapt them to trs, but I can not get any sound from them using either option of interface, please please save my sanity and help me out. Thanks in advance Gray
Hi Gray, I have not used these Lekato mics so I’m kind of shooting in the dark here, but do they need phantom power to operate? These small condensers usually do. Be careful when applying power as those electret condensers can be pretty sensitive (some of them need way less than 48V and, as an example, my Zoom H6 has 12v and 24v options) Not sure if this helps but best of luck and hope you figure it out! And thanks for subscribing!
@@LeoMakes hi Leo, thanks for taking the time to answer so quickly, yes it looks like these need power, both my interfaces only offer 48v, but I have a boya my b1 that has its own power and works on both interfaces, so I will order another one of those and see how I get on. Thanks again for taking the time to get back to me, much appreciated.
Great tutorial 👽
You are a legend Leo. This is way better than any other desk build (even a desk sold by a manufacturer).
This video has THE MOST EPIC build montage music I’ve ever heard. Leo, where have you been? I’ve been rewatching your work, hope you are well.
That is a cool little product. Thanks for the info on hand soldering surface mount I'll have to go pick up a few smaller things for the fine soldering
All those sounds!!❤
Could you provide the Fusion 360 project? This would be super neat to modify!
Find a used eGPU thunderbolt box and add your card to your Mac Mini. I use a Sonnet enclosure and they work great.
A good tip after a long time of soldering: For small SMD components, I find it best to use solder paste with a stencil (you can get a stencil very cheap and quickly produced at many locations). Then place the components in place, and use either a hot air gun (more difficult) or a heating plate (easiest option) My soldering life and PCB assembly really changed after getting a heating plate. cut down the assembly time considerably.
For being organized , thumbs up 👍🏻
amazing
Well it sound good, though the size is why this sounds a bit robotic, the transients are very pronounced.. If it was larger the vibrations would eliminate the transients because of it's size, llke using 4x 10 inch speakers for a bass guitar instead of one big 15 inch speaker, it moves more air but the snap is gone, that's why slap bass guitarists use 4 x 10 inch speakers. I would also consider a valve amp for your plate, one that really pushes the valve, high input and low output, I think that will smear out the transients a bit by compressing the signal. But regardless I think this is a very nice plate for techno etc.
Although I am not new to this I learned one or two from this video, for example the population and soldering process, thanks.
masking tape on the plywood can help it from chipping when routing.
Hello Leo, Awesome video and lovely setup. I'm aiming to build a similar aesthetic standing desk and I just wanted to know if you could tell me the dimensions of the "work table" and the "upper table" - I have a pair of Adam T5V (which are almost 30 cm width) and have some doubts to which size should I go for the "upper table" (I'm aiming for a table top of 160 cm by 80 cm). If you have any tip, I would appreciate. Thank you!! Best, Bruno
Hi there. Next time please go to an A/C shop. they can make you a plate in minutes. :)
This was a great demo!
