As a musician and an engineering student, I decided that I wanted to make an audio interface for the class’s open-ended design curriculum, not knowing just how complex everything was about to get. I probably should have made a guitar pedal or something. Suffice it to say, I did not get very far in 10 weeks, but I did learn a lot: mainly that I barely knew anything and audio is hard and confusing.</p>
