@hockeytalk6084 Год назад

You present this information in a way such that I am able to clearly process it and really, REALLY let it marinate. This is awesome man. You just filled in so many dots for me in terms of things I’ve been avoiding trying to understand for too long. Excellent tutorial. I actually finally feel like I’m ready to dive into some of these synths and start designing my own sounds

@vibrantvibes326 2 месяца назад

I wanted to tell you that your teaching style was excellent. I have watched countless videos trying to learn different things on youtube and your teaching was one of the best I've seen. You were straight to the point, without being too animated and you did a little review at the end, which solidified the knowledge for me. Thanks for making this video and you should look into teaching if you are not already a teacher. It might be your calling!

Many thanks Drew. I have no musical or Synth experience, but some electrical knowledge and I have spent the last 2 months scouring the internet for tutorials on synth design and construction.

Great video! I think it's very important to note, even as a beginner, that *most* synths have more than 1 ADSR: one for amp (the one you mentioned) and one for filter, so really not all ADSR envelopes are for amplitude. Otherwise great!

These are the best produced videos I've ever seen on RU-vid, hands down. I've made some videos myself, and I know how time-consuming it is to make them this good (well, actually, I've never made any THIS good, but I've done okay). You guys have hit it out of the ball park!

@masteringcom 4 года назад

@LearnerChess 4 года назад

@@masteringcom I was just watching a documentary about Making of The Doors' LA Woman, and I came across a 2 1/2 minute section that really showed the power of Audio Engineering. I have my music in in 24 bit 48,000 Hz FLAC, which I think is the fundamental quality one needs to get the best listening experience. The link I'm providing is something I got off of RU-vid (where I watched the documentary), so it's only in 248 mp3, which is higher than what I recorded it from, but you'll get the idea once you hear it. Two specifics are behind why I recorded it for you and uploaded it to Google Cloud: one is Jim's unmixed voice and the other is Robby's playing of the lead, which he did for the doc directly from his home speakers. It really gets across the POWER that using a DAW offers. drive.google.com/file/d/1PA-M3mZTXIe2XENSJAhQ5asa5Di_df0H/view?usp=sharing
