I would like to make a start with DIYLC, and I would like to use a stripboard like the one below. Are there any repositories where I could find this one or do I need to make this myself (and could anyone familiar with the program give me a few pointers how to do that) ?

Start with a pin header footprint:
Attach traces. Copy and paste as needed
Use distribute and alignment tools to make it nice. Turn off annoying layers like courtyard boundaries and such while you are doing this helps
Add those long side rails with 1x40 footprint or whatever. Same process as before:

That looks great / like it is not too complicated. I’m now installing kicad and will give it a go. Thnx!

I’ve thought about having my own protoboards printed with snap lines here and there with correct spacing for an IC to be separated, like you said it would be fairly easy pretty cheap
Ah, I think there is a misunderstanding here. I do not want to produce these strip boards as pcb’s. I’d like to use a strip board with a layout like in the picture I showed in a program in which I can draw components on a strip board. So my question was how to make such a thing as a template so that I can use that in e.g. DIYLC ?
Ahh yeah my bad I dunno why I assumed kicad. You could use the 3D viewer in kicad to display your circuit but I’m sure DIYLC is better suited. Hopefully it’s just as easy
Aww man that checkered front panel was screwing with my eyes. Looks great! like how compact you got the wiring.

Does someone have verified layouts for a buffered multi and an envelope follower with audio out?
not a stripboard but a schematic to a Buffered Multi verified !
EDIT : I just found the stripboard that corresponds to the diagram on my site, but it was not really clear to me so I rather followed the diagram
but here it is anyway

I made buffered mixer / multiple before. I’ll see if I can grab that if I made a layout.

Not mine, but i found it somewhere. Used this as a basis for my module. I used a TL074, not a TL084 though.
See the corrected version here:

the red wire should not be connected to pin 2 instead of pin3 ?

Yeah, looks like the top output is unbuffered (which makes this one of the build mistakes that you might not ever notice 
)
(100 ohm on the outputs seems a bit low, btw)

TL074 is the low noise member of this series, TL084 is the low power member. The main difference is that the TL074 datasheet mentions “Vn = 18 nV/√Hz” in the feature summary, while the TL084 datasheet mentions “1.4 mA/ch typical”. For the other you have to look under electrical characteristics to find exactly the same value. I haven’t compared all the graphs, but odds are they’re the same silicon these days.
EDIT: The latest datasheet revisions (November 2020) have identical summaries; they both mention low power and low noise, with the same specs for both.
Cutting and pasting from TI datasheets and culling the lines identical to all three:

Ah right, TL06x is the explicitly low power version, “designed as low-power versions of the TL08x series amplifiers” which they then have to market as “very low power” since they’d already labelled the others as “low power”. There’s a TL05x too, “designed to offer higher precision and better ac response than the TL08x, with the low noise floor of the TL07x” (and that datasheet points to TLE208x and TLE207x as even better alternatives). But my point was that there’s no noticeable difference between TL07x and TL08x today, not that there’s a million opamps out there
