#2I absolutely adore thess kind of DIY projects, where it becomes easily expandable and gets a good community empowering a feedback loop of better and better features.
LTT recently did a video about deej in their recent cheap gadgets video. https://youtu.be/8BxVi6YiicQ

#3What I really need is a software bass/treble control that can be mapped to keyboard shortcut.

#4Another HN project to add onto the neverending list! I am always having to tab out of Apex to adjust the mix with discord, every time I play. This is a really fun solution. Thank you for sharing.

#6I’ve thought about building something similar, but for an arbitrary number of sound sources, with a single flying fader, a small mono display for icons, and some buttons.

Everything already exists, which is no excuse for doing it again.

VoiceMeeter and it's macro buttons can do that.

Also check some of the forks of Deej; some already implement this in a DIY form

#10Unless the faders are motorized, which I believe are expensive, I don't see how you can make that thing work reliably without some nasty surprises.
What happens if you change the levels through software and your faders do not move?
I would just have used rotary encoders.
