you study and practise for years to do stuff like recording or mixing.


btw, I build one 1176, didn't work. tried to troubleshoot it for a week. after a week, I built it again from scratch. bingo.
I don't mind spending years to learn to record in mix, since that's what I'm interested in doing. An 1176 is just a tool to do that. Spending years to learn enough to build my own 1176 from scratch without help isn't very practical though. That would take all the time I have available to do the thing I actually want to do.

It's impossible to build it again from scratch without ordering all of the parts again, unless you are going to try to desolder every part out of the boards, which would be pretty much a disaster.
