    I'm just gonna repeat what lots of other people have said already: I love how you explained everything in detail. People in other videos are like "just set the threshold like this and the ratio like that and you're good to go". BUT I WANNA KNOW WHY AND HOW! Well now I know, so thank you!

      Agree, 100%, very informative, so i can make informed decisions, rather than just moving sliders and knobs

      As the others have said "knowing how to do something is just part of the solution". Knowing WHY is the other side of the coin. You are showing us the "why" and that is awesome! Thanks for your clear and concise instruction.

    i was seriously struggling to follow because im working with davinci 18.5, and i had no idea why the settings weren't affecting the audio until i realized i had to turn on the dynamics and it worked like magic and sounds amazing! thanks for the help!

  • @RaphaelChan888
    @RaphaelChan888 2 месяца назад +1

    With all these analogies between sound and video equivalents of terminology used, and clear explanation of what the terms mean, I finally understand why a particular filter in Photoshop is called a High Pass Filter after all these years! A lot of tutorials can demonstrate how to use a High Pass Filter in Photoshop, but few seem to know what's happening under the hood or even know why it's called that in the first place! Furthermore, you've demystified some of those EQ and Compressor knobs for me even though you didn't go into a lot of detail. Other tutorials often just tell you to press this and tweak that to achieve a result without helping you understand what or why you're doing it. Subscribed 😊

    I know that this is an old video but this is still so relevant. This is a great and clear explanation of audio 101 and how to properly apply it to your video. Compression is a hard thing to get right but when you hit the sweet spot it just makes your audio pop out!

  • @JonesCalgary
    @JonesCalgary 3 года назад +1

    Thank you for actually explaining WHY you are doing what you are doing. All other tutorials just tell you to copy them and give no explanation as to what is happening to the tracks fundamentally (they probably don't understand well enough for themselves). That's not learning by understanding… it's just copying. Thank you for truly understanding what you are teaching.
