Idea for controller-I’m New Please Help

I am new here and I got inspired by all the diy creations i saw on youtube and etc. I am very familiar with ableton already and am switching from pc to mac in about a week or so. I want to build i controller to fit exactly my needs, as I am more of a producer than dj. I want a controller with LOTS of knobs and LOTS of faders. Right now I am thinking about 27 knobs and 9 faders(8 tracks and a master; 3 knobs for each track. Ahout how much will this cost me. From watching the videos it seems easy enough to do. I also am unsure of whether i should build it with leds or not. Like i said i am a producer and hence don’t perform or create in the dark. Can somebody help me get started with this. Thanks

the controller would mostly be used for mixing and effects control on bass vsts and etc. I’m still not sure if i want it to be designed like a nanopad on crack or something more like the nocturn but with faders
