I thought linus had reached puberty finally but I was mislead....

Linus with deep voice feels.....weird

"...as it shrinks and grows with stimulation". - Linus 2015

"it shrinks and grows with stimulation" great words by Linus!

I know something else that shrinks and grows with stimulation...

Can't believe he said "mushroom head" with a straight face!

First video I've ever seen that explained microphones in a way that I can understand

dude! as an aspiring audio engineer and producer this video helps me understand the little things which are looked over more often than not. thank you!

I love these segments already because they're entertaining and informative but that hilarious face that popped up when Linus said "go both ways" is what really keeps me coming back for more. Editor, you're a genius. Keep it up!

Great video, easy to understand

*”Which shrinks and grows with stimulation”*

Hey Linus, great video. I've really liked your recent microphone videos. I'd be really interested in you doing more as I soon need to buy either a USB or an XLR and USB mixer setup for voice over and would love your input

I love this channel!

It's nice t know a little bit about stuffs we use or see someone else using it frequently. I'm the kind of person who like to know how everything works...

Outstanding

0:26 dayum Xizt looks sexxyyy with dat headset

Actually Lynda is great. I started using it and i like it. I wish they had a bit more advanced courses.

aww man I really miss those old school smoke signal linus videos, you should make one again some time

So what do you do if your mic (all of a sudden) starts making loud static noise in your recordings? I have a Blue Yeti, and it wasn't doing this before, and it doesn't always do this.

Could you do a video on touch screens? Thanks.

im never gunna unsee that power pack now.

Ok, lets go!

i think lynda should hire you. you could review products, make build guides and all of the funny stuff (as the pc wars and etc) on your channel, and instruct people with guides and etc in lynda

I think it would be more accurate to divide the microphone classes into either Dynamic or Static. Cause the way you described it in the beginning was like saying there are either motorcycles or fords. One is a class and the other is a type of model in a group.

What ways can you get the most out of your mic? More specifically condenser mics

How about mics that we use in studios? How are they called? Work principle?

What is name of the microphone you are wearing in the video?

WOWOW we learned about unidirectional or cardiod polar in graphs in precalculus class such application, much math

There are also Carbon, Crystal, Laser, Electret and Ribbon mics, Ribbons are getting more popular with artist vocals now-a-days and Laser mics are used for spying on people. Another thing they didn't mention is shotgun polarity, or super cardioid mics. Shotgun mics are more prevalent with film and since they are extremely directional and don't usually pick up anything on the sides.

There's one other type not mentioned here which is a subset of dynamic mics - ribbon mics. You don't see them pretty much ever outside of music recording, but they have a very novel design - thin pieces of aluminum foil (on the order of 1-5 microns thick) move in a magnetic field and generate a current.They sound really cool, but they're insanely fragile and they are very low output meaning they fell out of favor unless you want their tonal qualities.

What Senheizer is he using? I want to get one. Need the model or similar one.

How rare are hybrid mics with both dynamic and condenser pickups that either capture both as two channels or combine them before output?

Don't forget the ribbon microphone those are amazing

"Mushroom head..." -Linus 2015

I am a sound man and a tech guy you did a great job explaining this subject

Whoever edited this video must like csgo

As an avid (ha, pun!) audio enthusiast, I appreciate this explanation and it makes me want to cheer and throw biscuits at you. approval biscuits. Patent pending

I have a Samson C01U, every time I use it, there is a slight background noise in the recording that isn't recorded, it's like a small hiss almost, any thoughts on what that could be?

00:47 Amphitheater at Kourium Beach, Cyprus. Wow.

What is the diference between routers

Heads up JC, i'm picking up sonic transducer activity.

is zoom h1 good enough for both out and in door?

What about Compressor and Ribbon mics?

haha love the use of xist here :D

Dont forget also Ribbon mics- they are different too, plus hyper-cardiod and stereo patterns. Plus inverting a bass speaker to become a 30-60Htz mic for low tones produced by a bass drum or bass amp. And like Linus said other equipment is important too, like a mixing desk (not DJ Decks) with Analogue, Digital and Powered types, make sure when using condensers that are wired with a desk that 48V 'Phantom Power is on if that desk has it built in most big manufactures do automatically, with digital desks being able to control channel phantom power rather than just all the channels, on or off. and having it on while using dynamic mics as well will not make a difference. comment below this post to learn more...

What about ribbon mics?

Lenny!

There are voice amplifying holes cut into bricks that are carved in the shape of an ear canal in the north of Bolivia at a site called Tiwanaku which dates back to 1500BC.

Wow.. I just saw that Lynda.com was bought by linked.in!

I was on another tab with this in a playlist and thought it was Terry not Linus! I would like a mic app for my phone or PC.

Muxing and demuxing video another audio techquickie

Five Four club Linus?!? STYLING!!!!!

Thanks for crediting the real inventor of the phone, and not that invention-stealing, patent-abusing Graham Bell.

Pls do a video on Graphics cards difference in high end & low end

Linus screwed, but not chopped...

Hey Linus, i have a topic for an as fast as possible video, What's the real difference between virtual memory (when windows uses hdd/ssd space for ram) vs dedicated ram

"goes both ways" fuck i love this guy

A Speakers AFAP would be great..

Luke's face as fast as possible

I listened to this on my microphones!

Hey techquickie, I commented on your different cables video, and i though you wouldnt answer since it is old, so i thought i would post it here. Im buying a monitor that only accepts DVI-D, but the cable im using is a HDMI to DVI, so will it at least give me a 1080p and 60fps? and sound?

can you make a episode about difference between SLC,MLC and TLC plz

im happy with my usb microphone, clear sound with no noise comming from the audio card :)

Techquickie Do a video on microstutter from sli/crossfire

I showed my cousin that has never seen a Linus video before this and the first thing she said was "holy crap his voice is so high pitched" :')

Make as Fast as Possible about optical audio please.

memory bit bus as fast as possible

Techquickie is the image at 0:47 taken in Cyprus?

We need a metal song with Linus' scream.

0:29 FSX in background!

RIP Fifflaren

Microphones are amezing.

i made my own mic for pc. Had an old mp3 player from like 2003 that had recording, took it appart, unsoldered the mic, used some wire from a front panel power button and an old jack kabel took a piece of foam from old speakers to put on. Plugged the mic in and tadaaa, actually has good quality :P Better than some of my friends with "expensive" headsets. considering the mp3 player was at 20$ with 512mb ! lol Nice vid as always ;)

2:29 That's what she said

Speaking of mics, I noticed a strange thing. Mic Picks up sound from bass according to the sound meter, but when recorded all I get is static.

thankyou linuspedia

"grows with stimulation" ;)

Linus can you make a series on how to build a PC and explaining the individual components and what they do.

3:00 somebody needs to sample that and put it in the drop of a dubstep song! "LOUD NOISES!" WUB WUB WUB WUB

2:58 I don't know why but Linus screaming "WITH LOUD NOISES!!!!" makes me giggle like a school child.

Now I know a little bit more about how my Blue Yeti Pro works... probably going to forget by tomorrow morning but interesting nonetheless!

Tube, Ribbon??

The description is a little messed up. At the time of commenting it says "Microphones are an extremely integral part of our day-to-day life, whether you use them for work, or But how do they work?", but I think it is meant to say "Microphones are an extremely integral part of our day-to-day life, whether you use them for work, or for (fun maybe idk what they wanted) But how do they work?" Just a heads up!

... Shrinks and grows with stimulation ... really Linus

Yes Linus. We are well into 2015. So much so that it’s 2020.

You should make a fast as possible about project Ara, the modular phone from google.

Xizt is such a cutie ^_^

No ribbon mics then?

Mushroom head? Please, it's clearly a butt :D

After watching this video iIm still wondering "or But how do they work?" Description has a typo plz fix.

First time I heard blastbeats on a linus video ^^

Thought you were gonna talk about things like LCF and gain.

How do we hear you from data videos without your voice being amplified but transmitted to our viewing devices.

Next Topic: How did Data Recovery Software work?

...HE'S WEARING A WIRE! GET HIM!!!

Techquickie do lynda.com a favour. Talk about freelancing as fast as possible

Magnets? How do they work?

4:22 but we are initiated, aren't we linus?

Also Linus your swag is incredible m8
