masking tape is the answer, how didn't I think before?

[Brandon85923]

House of 1,000 Corpses thats who this guy reminds me of, the one guy yeah lol if you seen it you know who im talking about.

[matthewtchernev123]

does anyone know to use like an 8 ohm speaker for this. like would it work or blow the speaker?

[itslife56]

@matthewtchernev123 Can you get into more depth of what you mean, and ill try help you :)

[matthewtchernev123]

@itslife56 like do you have to use that kind of speaker?

[rocketman221projects]

A step bit and drill press make things much easier.

[sickstyseven]

I have some knob things from an old amp I want to use, but I can. Take them out. Help?

[rofl4123]

Nice sneeze block? 1:39

[TheBenyamin525]

Just made an Atari punk console its my first synth electronic music device thingy but have no imagination about the box for it

[TheMrHwarang]

11:00 dubstep

[sahildis1]

I have a question could I hypothetically put a source of music to it and then make a dubstep

[luftair]

I have a question. If you use a single strand wire do you still need to put solder on it before soldering to the component ? I am a newbie so...;)

[guzguz21]

@luftair Yeah, why not? It makes the soldering process easier, it also helps as a test to see if the wire is clean enough to make the solder stick to it.

[randy95060]

Terrific visuals! This was great!

Excellent step by step instructions as well.

[sjoerdbeukers]

2:21 the booklet does say you should do it that way

[sjoerdbeukers]

Why are you joining the 2 pins from the pot? I think that will change the value of it. because a current can now also run from 1 to 3 making it 2 resistors parallel.

[LTUMaskMAN]

I bet hes a virgin.

[Rasmus0909]

@LTUMaskMAN I bet he's not. Look at the wedding ring.

[musicmined99]

@LTUMaskMAN i bet your a 11

[hoofbags]

Gr8 vid, I make stuff sometimes. I use both leaded and unleaded (yuk!) solder. I find both types irritate my nose, even though I hold my breath when the fumes appear. Is this a problem for you and, if so, have you found a way 'round it? Stain. :o)

[thatguyontheright1]

@hoofbags Get a fume extractor.

[hevari18]

Do you do all the music in the videos with your DIY Audio Equipment?

[DrEMplushrest]

I like how the layout process is partly practical but partly artistic. Always a fun stage. I tried to strike this balance on my optical compressor build, it's all ergonomic and logical, but slightly quirky too! Plain grid layout is a bit dull.

[evilwarcow]

perhaps you could use that thing for the Doctor Who theme.

[BelfonteFurnace]

Ahh, these videos are getting me through soldering 100+ wires on a project im working on at the moment, im getting there!

[anidude98]

THOSE, SIDEBURNS.

[cristian3131]

what are the banana connectors for ?

[Dark0Lord7]

01:11 that one with red knobs looks like a Nintendo controller. What noise does it make?

[Firehowk]

Y U NO USING RADIAL CAPS?

[Prayimario]

before i watched this vid i thought you bought that synthesizer

[directcurrent10]

problem solved..!!! i like that..!

[TheSupertecnology]

what are the red circles on top? please reply

[Bikeviolin]

@TheSupertecnology

they're banana sockets for banana plugs

[Dark0Lord7]

@TheSupertecnology Knobs.

[scattrr]

@98JMA

The one he pulls out at 1:04.

[scorpion8588]

I just bought the kit and had a question. I understand the red bindings are I, M, O, and Q which connects to SYNC output, Signal Output, AM input, and Freq sweep i/p. What about the two input jacks next to power? Looking at the schematic I'm assuming he connected the half swing sync o/p to the speaker, but what is the second i/p jack connected to? My kit only came with one audio jack.

[marTinjj88]

Dj colin on the deck

[ToiletStruggle]

it would be nice if you once in a while would upload some of your creations...

[TheMrMany]

I like your sidebruns arrrghhh :P

[mixermantim]

I am glad that I just make the demos.  Great video, thanks

[techyknowsbest]

what were the red things on top?

[jayng197]

I Thought ryobi was only in australia in a certain shops, where u get from

[ButtsexV2]

@jayng197 I've got plenty of Roybi tools here in the US, got them from Home Depot.

[fairyheli2]

@jayng197 pretty much everywhere sells ryobi tools

[LanceRetired]

I built this and would like to clear up any confusion that others may encounter.

The 4 red posts I connected to I, M, P & Q. Since the kit only came with one audio input jack, I used a switch to toggle the audio output from M to P.

I added a 5th (black) binding post for ground (not included in the kit) and 4 red leds to indicate what position the 4-pos switch was in (also not included in the kit). The 4 leds were added to use a second selection from the four-pos switch (there are three sets)

[guitarslf132]

wow only 64 bucks wtf!!!!!!

[kinofrost]

Use your new gadget to high-pass the headache bass out of the soundtrack so I can hear you. Some people have hearing difficulties.

[mistaecco]

Thumbs up if you came to this video from another colin's lab video

[solath]

How about some labels for all the switches, pots, jacks, etc.? I have found that those are almost as important as the box itself.

[popeye0shing]

i dont even hv a solder gun( is this what....that thing called?) but watch almost all video from collin lab lol

[hugo6644493]

@popeye0shing You got it quite right. Solder Gun is the one shape like gun (duh :) ). The one Collin used is called a Soldering Iron :)

[metalhead9838772]

@popeye0shing when I read your comment I saw soldier gun lool

[daviddanielgraham]

@6:00 that's what I always do with those also.

[daviddanielgraham]

If you are using a material other than thin plastic, make sure and calculate the proper drill rpm, and as you move toward harder materials, its a great idea to center punch/center drill your holes.

[tsitsibe]

fantastic, thanks mate

[radexpp]

Go make something, eh?

[DactaDork]

What are the 4 red circles on the top?

[truvak]

Collin, where are you? there is so much more we can learn from you with less than 5 minutes videos, and make live? soooo lame, that gives back a lame name for nerds, we where a proud race until those guys tilted their heads after putting down the welding masks.

[matthewtchernev123]

collin how do you make these things like years of teaching your self electronics

[1971SuperLead]

I learned a few things! Thanks!

[SLagerZahne]

7:25 HAHAHA!!!

[FSXman1000]

What soldiering iron are you using?

[arestlesswind]

Collin, I discovered your videos today. I watched all of them.

[matthewtchernev123]

ok i really need for you to come to my house to do a project

[k0b0yash1]

[ZouloumOSX]

Towelie win!

[WindowsDevPro]

Make something, aye?

[Slench101]

some real electrical connections...

the previous ones were all fake...

[tomattosfutleimierda]

@Slench101 haters will hate ...

[sergio1020881]

New technology, potenciometers are out and switches are out, all in a touch of a button now.

[ibanezman007]

@sergio1020881 Try and tell that to a guitar player playing in front of 100,000 people when he needs to turn his volume up and the battery to power your volume circuit just died.

[DarkEagel99]

could you show a picture where you solder the jacks and audio jacks in?

[Fekillix]

Where did you get that enclosure?

[02585975]

@Fekillix Jameco Electronics

[lesleyhenriquez]

Is this kind of the same as a noisegenerator to jam, say, GSM traffic?

As in: I hook it up to 500 watts of transmitting power and the whole block goes down?

[rtty21]

welcome to collin's dungeon... there is no going back!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

[FuneralFragz]

this is good eats meets something I'm interested in. lol.

thanks for posting .thumbs up and sub'd

[nintendent]

@Wildshibby you can, I've made one

[alacedro]

I don't get what are those little red jacks for. Great video!!

[CAsurvivalist]

call it the r2-d2 sound box

[stopmotionmanager]

I CANT HEAR YOU MY MOM IS MAKING SMOOTHIES WITH THE BULLET MIXER

[Wildshibby]

Hello

I wonder if you can make a simple dj mixer board? like channel 1 and 2 and you can "blend" the songs together or add some effects to with some knobs maybe?

and you can plug it in to your computer.

thanks that would be awesome.

[XMagicFingersX]

is that part of your beard or is that part of your side burns eather way those things on your face look freaking awesome keep up the good videos man!

[AKZak08]

great videos

THAT KEYBOARD, HOW DID YOU MAKE IT?

[DjuraKeretina]

@scattrr Exactly what I wanted to ask! :D

[matthewtchernev123]

@scattrr what keyboard? in the beginning

[98JMA]

@scattrr

What keyboard?

[GNews10]

Where is Kip?

[galatro52]

Who the fuck is he wares kipkay

[xMrxTLeeTx]

11:43 - hes so stoned



[LenWhistler]

RE: Removing the potentiometer stabilizer post at 5:50

Another solution is to file out a slot at 3 o'clock with a small file. This will prevent to pot from turning and the pots settings will be in the correct location - 0% at 7 o'clock 50% at 12 o'clock and 100% at 5 o'clock.

[MrCuMMINSPULLER]

can some body say 34 and a virgin

[reidhasguitar]

You need to form a techno/alternative band and build all of your own instruments.

[Goomness]

will the inner strands of an RJ21 cable be good for this kind of project?

you have 50 different colors to use

[m3phisto666]

Yeah that´ll get you laid...

[rtty21]

[kj57]

That helping hands guy is a total tool. :P

[TheComputerNerd0101]

Your music sounds like an midi keyboard.

[MJLaukala]

For all you guys having trouble remembering the table or are still looking of a "cheat sheet", I wrote a free program to help you out. Here is the link to the quick tutorial on how to use the program. The download link is in the description. youtube.com/watch?v=nolRA9ZmK-­U

[drummer122008]

what iron do u use??

[zach2408dk]

Once you have twelve awesome devices, "what the heck does that one do?" I loved that truespace math pluggin that just starts out with 20 math function generators, no shiter way!

[jakenzi357]

LOL pause at 01:40 epic face

[sciman001]

@GraniteTutorials 49. :D

[RavenRof]

MOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR­!!!!!!!!!!

[mrjimmyos]

I can imagine what some people would use the device for... "Hello London, we are the electro koala freaks and we're here to bring you some, music!"

[VardanB92]

too bad you sealed it haha, nice video ;)

[MrsJulianne33]

I'm observing this channel for a long time, and in the end I can say this guy is remarkable!

[justinb93]

One day, they are going to make a helping hands tool with some sort of softer material applied on the alligator clips, because it seems that everyone, including myself, puts electrical tape on them.

[TheAser19]

Look at my chanel :)

[jahanzebk91]

im not good with electronics but can anyone tell me what will this device be used for?

[TheGuyMath]

@jahanzebk91 its a function generator.generates all kinds of signal waves for testing.

[MyPyromaniac123]

you could make it sound like R2-D2 lol!!

[adamz1988]

game boy sound factory

[DerCassedy]

what are those four lil tiny red holes for?

[julieail]

@DerCassedy Thoose are the Amplitude modulation/pitch modulation inputs. I am not sure what the other two are for.

awesome! love this guy's videos!

[TheTraceurBoy]

how do you make the little helper dude?!

[Kahizumi]

... i gonna do it... when i finished probably scream "IT'S ALIVEEE"

[mragw]

totaly awesome !!!

[snakerunner4]

You should have put the rubber feet over the screws on the bottom to make it look nicer.

[timtallisman]

@snakerunner4 Sure... untill you need to open up the case again... rofl.

[dwmitch]

@snakerunner4 It's for his personal use and any views most people catch of the bottom of most devices is incidental and short lived so it doesn't make much of a difference.

[xAxrules]

Colin, you're videos are amazing.

[iamthepariah666]

I've discovered that popping the stabilizer posts off your pots is generally not a great idea.

[ghostman982]

it is cool

[lucasmontec]

I saw this video a thousand times, seriously!

This cases are freaking awesome!
