do not take this down. this is really helpful, especially when you know nothing about sound.

You had my full attention for 16 minutes. I came in knowing very little to having both a better understanding of the topic & an appreciation of your fantastic teaching style. Each part you explained provided a depth of information I had hoped for & you delivered. I’m anticipating & intrigued to listen to not only part two, but also any other instructional videos you have available.

I know it must have taken a lot of hardwork to make this video but if it is worth anything a random guy is very thankful to you and wishes you all the best in life. Thanx for you time brother!

This is THE most concise and easy to understand explanation on this topic that I've seen. 12/10

I´ve seen a thousands of tutorials about sound, and I can say that this is the best tutorial ever.

I basically don't know anything about music or even sound! I was searching for something slightly relevant to this topic, and I came across this video. You kept me to watch the whole 16-minute video! You explain incredibly fantastic. I don't know you but you should be a great teacher. Thanks for this video.

i found a gem today in understanding the sound more clearly ..... i jz started up ...hehe WOW !! ...and GEM bcoz, whoever explains u basics is a GEM bcoz basics are the GEM itself !! Thanks for sharing the video mate.....booOOoom

Dude, your video was awesome. You would be a great teacher.

Oh my!!! That was a great video. Was looking for some content to help a friend of my, but I ended up learning from you, because of the way you presented all these notions. Thanks

I cam here not because I wanted to learn more about music, but because I needed to learn more about sound for engineering class. Did not left disapointed

You did a great job at not making it bored like other videos. Have a great day

this was so helpful, thanks for saving my physics grade!

you are a legend. this is such a gem. cant believe you’ve done this 9 years ago! any idea where i can find part 2?

Near perfect pace, which I find almost impossible to find in a documentary. Graphics and visuals are both intuitive and easy to understand logically. I got a cliffhanger feeling in my gut a few times, which is also rare for me while watching a documentary. Really nice work.

Thank You for helping me understand what I couldn't describe in communication about visualizing sound characteristics ... Envelope & Harmonic Content were the missing definitions I needed .. Makes sense now 🤔

One of the best sound engineering videos I've seen, very cut to the point, no b.s. Good job

wasnt sure about this at first, but its legit. i know about sound but sometimes i just like to go over the super basics and fundamentals. thanks bro, great job

Thanks alot man! You've done an amazing job at explaining these concepts, clearer than most videos out there

Thank you!! this is better than any physics class ive ever had

This is one of the best sound tutorial for beginners. I really love it. I now understand perfectly how sounds are being produced. All thanks to you.

Some of the best explanations in youtube!

Thanks for this. The way you explain it makes total sense.

Thank you. This presentation was articulated well and aesthetically pleasing. I’m a new subscriber! I can’t get enough of sound, frequency, vibration, energy and the sorts.

Truly helpful, I wanted to learn this for a long time and I've finally found a video that properly explains the roots of sound, thank you :)

This has been super helpful, I’ve been racking my brain the last week trying to figure this out. Awesome video. Within the first 3 minutes I understood what took me weeks to understand!

Excelente! You are a natural educator. Thxs!

Wow, one of the best explanations I saw. So good... Congrats!

I'm going to a sound engineering school, and we are going through this very thing in week 1. This helped break things down and give me some additional context! Thanks a lot and keep the videos coming Adam!

This video is incredible. You deserve a million Views.

This was extremely helpful, I couldn’t be happier. I usually someone who's afraid of everything related to math and waves in general and you got my full attention, and I got everything. I even took notes! Thank you for the great content. The internet is made for this kind of wholesome content

10/10 been looking for something like this for a while, nice video.

Killer job breaking these concepts down! Thanks so much for making this video!

Thank you! Really good video. Interesting and clear

fantastic video! finally i understand the basics of how sound works

This video was awesome. Can't wait till part 2

This is brilliant, thank you so much Adam, you made it so clear!

Best. Explanation. I. Have. Ever. Heard. 👏 Thank you, sir!

This is an extraordinary video, thank you so much!

This was extremely helpful, thank you so much for uploading this!!

Adam, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much I've been looking for this sort of explanation for a very long time, thank you again.

Thanks a lot for that gem of info Adam. Really appreciate you creating this.

Nice talking speed....great explanations ( like the fruit juice comparison too )...keep going with your tutorials. Recapping on the basics is always a must from time to time no matter how advanced we get in this science.

this video is seriously amazing, thank you so much for all your work! even after coming to this 8 years after publishing it is still so sooo helpful!!!

Wow! Didn't realize how small of a channel this was! I could tell by the Camera quality but the editing and content was so smooth! Great video and great content. Keep it up!

This video was incredible. Such a good explanation

Masterful teaching: clear and pleasant.

That was a perfect explanation! thank you !

This is absolutely helpful to me and I went through the whole. I searched for part 2 in your channel but didn't find it. Appreciate it if you could do part 2. Thanks so much.

Very clearly explained without frills and extra mumbo jumbo to confuse

This was a good explanation, especially in terms of visualising the wave/speaker. Keep up the good work!

this really helped me understand sound, thanks!

Please, can you make available PART 2? Best video of this topic I found so far.

That's really simple and informative. Thanks a lot you helped me a lot in understanding how it works! Would love to see more of your stuff. Please keep going! One more thing, you proved to me that making a great video doesn't necessarily need expensive equipment!

Simplest explanation ever!! Good job man 💯

This is an awesome explanation of sound waves, thank you very much for your effort!

You are great man! Please teach, don't think twice, you are rare.

Best explanation out there. Thanks

Amazing content! Thank you. Very gifted teacher

excellent visualization... i think i finally understand this.

Nice job of demonstrating a complex topic in simple and understandable terms. I feel I have a better inkling of what is really happening with the sound waves I'm hearing.

this was amazing. i never understood this stuff until now.

Great video! I would love to see part 2!

Loved the video. Very clear.

Thank you. Very informative!

This is on point. I'm studying this at uni but it's not even close to this engaging. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for a great video. It was very educational and the visuals were very descriptive.

Well explained! Thank you!

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks a lot!

Exactly the info I was looking for.

Thanks so much for this great video. You are a wonderful teacher🙏🏼

Man you explained it very well, thanks 👍

Video was really helpful, will keep watching!

Excellent video tutorial! You simplified a rather complex subject using real/actual examples to illustrate and “amplify” your concepts. You’re a gifted teacher! Like they say - you brought the cookie jar from the top shelf to the floor so everyone can partake. Thanks Adam! I appreciate your gift to us. Btw, if you can simplify how a compressor, gate and reverb works and how to use them effectively, I’d (& our Sunday school music and sound team) be forever grateful to you!

thank you I learn now about frequencies and amplitude.

All i want to know just about 1f. Thanks bro you explained with great way,

Night and day - thank you so much for making me understand

Where is part 2? Awesome video! My next search is how the brain perceives sound. Went a little fast for my slow brain but good thing I can remind. Many thanks for your explanation

Awesome video. I've watched a lot with these basic information on sound and yours is actually the first which covered everything and that really understandable! Thank you. I was was searching for Part II Psychoacoustics...would be awesome if you load it up too! Looking forward to it :)

very interesting and well explained! Thank you

This video taught me a lot about sound. Thanks Adam! When foes part 2 come out?

this was fantastic - thank you!

it's such an amazing explanation, man! thank you! :)

At the end when you showed the 3 different waves, it would have been cool to hear a side by side comparison together. Otherwise awesome video. Very detailed and informative but explained simply enough for basic understanding. Thanks for creating it. ☮️❤️🎵🌍🤗🏁

You don’t have a monotonous voice so it doesn’t get boring to keep listening 🤩🤩

Amazing! thank you so much i learned a lot from this.

Hi adam, we need part 2, thanks!

this was extremely helpful!!

Great explanations!! Thanks. P.S. - You somewhat look like Jon Snow.

6:17 was so familiar but i didnt expect that

Very interesting/intriguing to me how the lower frequencies are a "feeling" or some kind of deep, unconscious sensation that we get. You're totally right about that. As soon as I heard that and what the human ear can detect, I went and downloaded a frequency generator app to my intense delight. Going through each level of Hz was a unique experience in and of its own. It actually gives a LOT of credence to what people say about numerology and the effect numbers can have on your mind and perception. I think that ties in to what frequency it corresponds with, because a lot of the concepts that are assigned, or perhaps better stated, 'discovered', regarding each number was something that registered with me while staring at the sine wave and putting my speaker up to my ears. 23, for instance, is correlated strongly with personal creativity, and for some reason, I always connected it to the Grateful Dead, especially the birth of their prolific generation of art, as well as all of the artwork which that, in turn, inspired. 8 was a frequency I felt I could rely on. Dependable. Solid. 2 made it easier to breathe and 1 made me meditative. I've never experienced anything like that. Something that instantly forced me to go to a place of mindfulness. Extremely cool and bizarre at the same time. By the way, the lowest frequency I can detect with my eardrums as a distinct sound is 30 Hz. For some reason I can't hear 31 but 32 I hear even more clearly.

Thank you, that cleared some questions up for me! :)

Thank you very much for this. I can't find the psycho-acoustics video you mention - is it not available now?

Veery well explained, thank you so much :)

thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, excellent explanation., waiting for part two ;)

We loved this video! You had my curious just-turned-six year old’s attention for the full 16 minutes. She is wondering about part two, because how our ears receive the sound was a lot to do with what sparked the curiosity to begin with. 😊 Thank you for posting! We really enjoyed it!

Awesome. Really well explained.

This was very instructive thank you

Thank you! Entertaining and easy to understand

Perfect, just perfect!
