@Dumble Door you're an audio engineer? When and where did you get your degree? All the programs I've looked at for audio engineering/equivalent degrees require extensive study in electrical engineering, some computer science, and all math courses that would be necessary for that level of electrical engineering (probably linear algebra and diff eq). I know other sound engineering programs that are actually offshoots of electrical engineering programs rather than being through the music schools (there's an affiliation of course, but the brunt of the coursework goes through the engineering school). This isn't to say you can't be or aren't a fantastic audio engineer! I have no idea how good you are and I agree with you that knowing the technicals is nice, but knowing your ears is what makes good recordings. I am legitimately just curious because what you described is not what I've seen. Maybe things changed over the years or it could be that my sample size was an I'll representation of the general experience.

@Dumble Door bro have you ever met a real audio engineer?

@@tjkim1999 For real! I went to school for audio engineering and had to do a lot of algebraic mathematics that were not covered in regular college algebra classes. I'm currently going to school for Electrical Engineering now and I'd say that Audio Engineering is closely related to it and acoustical physics. If you actually want to understand what you're doing to the signals you're recording and etc.. You have to at least have a basic understanding of what's going on under the surface. These days a lot of these people are just producers with a lot of understanding in how they want it to sound, but never really know how to achieve those sounds properly and used massive amounts of compression, EQ, distortion/saturation to get it. Audio Engineering is an art, but it's also a science. A lot of people forget that.

@Dumble Door Engineering as a noun: "the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures" // "the action of working artfully to bring something about" // "the work done by, or the occupation of, an engineer" As a verb: "design and build (a machine or structure)" // "skillfully or artfully arrange for (an event or situation) to occur" You're really just mistaken as to what engineering is. The reason the profession of civil engineering and things adjacent to it demands an incredible level of education has more to do with the fact that lives, money, and the very functioning of society can be at stake. In many cases the extreme academic demands for the profession are written in blood. Make no mistake, though, the term "engineer" includes what you perceive as engineers, but it is certainly not limited to it. Civil engineering may protect the title of "engineer" for the reason of being very clear and specific as to qualifications in that field, but if you look to other industries the game can change, and according to definition engineering is a very broad term that can require wildly different requirements.

😂 they're tricky little buggers

That a good one!

@Gary Winthorp So why are you watching the video? The entire purpose of this video is to teach inexperienced sound engineers on what NOT to do.

@Gary Winthorp Title isn’t clickbait thought. The video is exactly what you clicked on, it’s comparing a bad guitar mix to a good one. KZfaq has lost the meaning of clickbait when everyone just says something is clickbait when it’s not.

@Gary Winthorp Dude. Aren’t you the one who literally complained because the video is exactly what the title said? The one crying is you bro.

@Gary Winthorp Complaint: “ a statement that a situation is unsatisfactory or unacceptable” You: “Calling the video clickbait and saying you don’t care about the video.” That’s called a complaint bro.

@Gary Winthorp Woah now Gary, relax there buddy. Keep raising your heart rate like that and your heartburn may kick in.

So then it's not bad.

@@DKinMN you can have a song that you like but it doesnt sound good. Personally, i hear that a lot from stuff I made a few years ago. People like what it was made but it sounds weird, mostly due to the inexperience I had (not that I have a lot now) and what I used to record

@@pedrosilvamusician can you see what you just said ? I want you to go sit at a corner and think about what you ve done .

@@icy_0_182 okay :(

@@icy_0_182 damn don't talk like that to my man Pedro :(

Yeah it's wild how warm they can feel even if the mic seems too far away.

Yeah

Thanks Harry

Planning an electric guitar and vocals one...maybe drums. Any other ideas?

Thanks Pedro.

And in the meantime, hang up a blanket or lean a mattress against the wall. 👍

Not even stumbling upon the thought of moving the microphone further away in 20 years is impressive. I applaud you

@@Mueseek MY FIRST APPLAUSE!!! 🥰

😊

Thanks!

Thanks Bandrew!

Yesssss...well done.

😂

👍

Rock on!

Ideas?

Especially on bass, the difference is noticeable on guitar but bass is painfully obvious when they're old.
