I Don't Understand Dave Rat - Rat Responds to Reddit Episode 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- After several people forwarded links to a subreddit with hundreds of posts ranging from informed and curious to insults and and confusion, I decided to dive in and use this opportunity to share my perspectives.
In episode one I respond to " I Don't Understand Dave Rat" and describe the issues with sending the same signal to multiple speakers covering the same space as well as offer solutions to help mitigate comb filtering in stereo systems
In future episodes I will wrap my arms around a wide variety of posts as well as do a demonstration showing how to use dual mic'ing to achieve some decorrelation of a single source.

As a person that's just starting out in live sound / FOH engineering, I'm so glad Dave Rat exists and is posting him gems of explanation and process. Sooo damn good Dave!
👍🤙👍
I think you are giving sound theory and philosophy that has a much greater impact to the community than many people realize. Like a great teacher you are helping people UNDERSTAND sound and audio, but sadly some can’t see the big picture.
👍👍👍 🎤
Don’t want to ruin the perfect number of thumbs up, so I’ll just say that I agree!
Ruin away!
I’ve been a sound engineer for 18 years and watching your methodology has helped me step passed what I thought was a mastery level, truth is no one knows it all and the only thing that holds people from reaching a higher level is their own inability to listen to advice! Your doing great things for the community Dave! Much love
Excellent and keep learning and testing new ideas!
"The people who know the least, have the most to say, and are the most upset about it" is timeless wisdom right there 12:13
Fun! And when people truly understand there's no need to smokescreen with emotions
Great to meet ya!
The other day, I was talking to my boss (owns the sound/stage company I was recently hired by) about the differences between the m and x32 mixers, and halfway through the conversation, he said "I bet you watched the same Dave Rat video I saw the other night". This guy is in his 60s and I'm 22. That really put it into perspective to me. Other people have commented how impactful your videos are to this community. You're never better off not knowing something.
You are such a great teacher, and the concepts you explain can be appreciated and applied at every level, from my fellow ameture engineers doing bar gigs to the touring pros. THANK YOU!
Sooo cool and thank you! This makes me happy!
Same thing happened to me! At my house gig yesterday an engineer came through and we got on the subject of getting sucked in visually to screens when mixing and we both were quick to reference a Dave video talking about having the console off to the side and forcing ourselves to not use our eyes. ✌🏻
Oh my, good stuff! And thank you
Dave, what a privilege to have someone of your vast experience and practical knowledge be willing to share what you've learnt with others. I love learning about how to improve my amateur mixing. It makes me want to get the gear out and test straight away. So much more to learn! Thank you!!
👍🤙👍
He is a king. I've just recently discovered this channel and I'm so thankful I did. He reinforces the basics while delving into some very technical and complex ideas. He's fascinating to listen to.
Appreciated!!
The fact that you dedicate your time and effort to share all your years of research and knowledge is simply invaluable. people who criticize only do so from a position that lacks empirical evidence and is only based on envy
Thank you Franco. And yes, the attacks are unfounded but it offers an opportunity to have some fun and hopefully steer some away from the flawed angles
I can't believe nobody in the comments is talking about the Grateful Dead's wall of sound, they had separate amps and PAs for each instrument/person so that you got more of a raw sound of each person's sound mixing in the venue rather than the unwanted problems Dave mentioned that I'm sure lots of venues didn't understand yet back then. This was a great video. Thanks Dave
Awesome and will cover a bit more in upcoming vids.
I will never forget how great the sound was when I saw you mix the RHCP in the Twin Cities a few years ago. I think that was your last show with them as well. Had the cool overhead dynamic lighting grid.
I think some of those commenters probably went through an audio training program/college and have that feeling that their education is complete and that they have all the answers from the singular way they were instructed. As you exemplify though, it’s important to always be learning, experimenting, and being open to new concepts. I’m always surprised by the rigidity of some engineers in an industry that is so full of creativity. Some of the most fun gigs I’ve worked have been in bars with really strange system setups. It’s always fun making it work in the room, with the band, and for the people enjoying the show.
We are sound! Let's have fun with this wonderful invisible energy!
@@DaveRat that belongs on a shirt
👍🤙🔧🔧
Dave is the real deal!!!!! I've played 40 years. This is Phd level. I call him Dr. Rat.
😯🔧🔧🔧
I have always thought your ideas of other ways to mix and use live sound systems are clever and creative. If anything, I thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts with all us. I've learned so much from the videos you've posted- thank you. I'm always open to hear & consider other sound ideas and learn something from most everybody but especially from those who have your amazing experience. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Christopher, appreciation of my efforts makes this worthwhile! And thank you for being a member, we have troll free realm!
I was touring for 5 years as a FOH engineer (around 1000-3000 ppl festivals), and I learned a lot from top engineers, but that IS ANOTHER DIMENSION, in 15 minutes I was so many times blown away, that knowledge is a true gold mine, I've can't even believe it's on youtube, thank you for all of my heart! LOVE YOU
So cool and thank you!! 🤙👍🤙
"Usually the people that know the least, have the most to say and are the most upset about it." Well, ain't that the truth!
Great video!
👍👍👍
Hi! im actually the OP of that post! I appreciate the response. I don't fully understand the physics of sound as well as you do. Personally with the small events that i do, i never really had issues with phasing. Assuming what your saying is correct it does make sense that changing the volume, or using a separate mic would help with phasing. I would love to talk sometime if you are willing to help me understand and learn more exactly why it helps as i still have a few questions.
Thank you!
Try running an oscillator through the PA in your venue. Try an 80hz tone. Walk around and listen to where the nulls, peaks and maybe standing-waves of the frequency happen in the room. If you run pink noise through the PA and walk around you will hear comb-filtering happening at higher frequencies.
@@conorm2524 I’ll give it a try next time I can.
Stage bleed and reflections from venue walls can reduce the perceived impact of comb filtering. If you're on an outside gig, have a mono source with a lot of spectral content (like a distorted guitar, single mic, panned center) play while you walk from side to side, that will showcase the effects pretty well.
The 80hz tone analysis won't show the same effect if the subs are set up in a line in front of the stage btw, plus room acoustics in smaller venues will have a big impact on bass distribution as well (and totally mess it up!).
Keep in mind that what we just got is a physics lesson. And it scales to any size venue. It's the medium of our art. Just like a painter needs to know how their paints mix and attach to a canvas, the more control they have over what they want to paint.
The more we understand about the medium we use In our art the better we can art.
Hey hey TheAceThree!
Welcome. As far as questions, ask away and will respond as best I can. Especially if the questions are subjects I have not already covered in videos and articles.
I prefer to discuss publically rather than call to ensure information is publically available.
Oh this is fun! I'd like to see one of these videos every so often! Thank you for always sharing knowledge without gatekeeping!
👍👍👍
When I was learning back in the early naughties, I absorbed all I could, but there was a point that I plateaued and became frustrated....frustrated enough that I stopped mixing. I love watching your videos! Thanks for teaching what I wish my mentor could have taught
I'm speechless at how much I learned. Thank you! I'm really looking forward to these.
🤙🎤🎤🎤
You are amazing for sharing all this knowledge with us, and for the fact that you explain all these things in such an understandable way. Thanks a lot!
You are true sound and a person I wish I was friends with and could talk with about audio all day. Thankfully you share discussions that I can access at my leisure. Thanks for your amazing spirit. Love the content.
I love your passion for audio Dave, can not thank you enough for sharing!
Thank you Jeff
This was the first video of yours I watched through and loved how you approached and explained everything. I felt like we just hung out for a cup of coffee and geeked out over sound reproduction. I appreciate your effort and passion for this stuff and thank you for your generosity.
Backstory : I'm not in the pro audio biz but do have a consumer audio background, so I completely understood all that you talked about. I was looking for videos on balanced armatures this AM and discovered you in your teardown of some IEMs. While I bailed on that video, I went and checked out your channel and watched this one. Rock on!
You've expounded greatly on a concept that I discovered in the studio by putting two 57's on the same cab and panned hard left and right. Thank you. This information has come at a very important time for me. Hope to hear one of your shows soon. Cheers
Thank you Robby. Though I did move on from mixing shows to other adventures
Some of the best advice I have ever gotten was to always ask questions of yourself when someone is presenting something to you. I have done that many times watching your videos David really really appreciate your perspective and have implemented a lot of what you have said in the past in regards to these kinds of concepts. I’m better engineer because of the work that you put into things. I am very grateful for you.
Hell yeah!
Fascinating! Haas effect in live sound and decorrelation in general. 40 years in live sound & these are new concepts for me. Thank-you Dave!
Awesome and very cool John!
Yours contributions are huge to the sound community, thanks for all
👍🤙👍
Dave you’re a f***king genius! I’m so glad to be living in this era & learn from your experiences & sharing. Simply mind blowing!
Thanks Dave for responding in a really calm and intelligent way. I always appreciate hearing the reasoning behind your decisions regarding mixing and gear choices. I've learned so much from you over the years. Tremendously grateful for all that you have openly shared.
Awesome and thank you Snarly
Brilliant. When people ask me where I first learned to run sound I always say Dave Rat taught me. I'm serious too. I bought a 24 channel Yamaha analog board 9 years ago and found Dave here on RUclips showing gain structure and how the signal path was structured. I started plugging things in and practicing with a 58.
Awesome!!
I had never thought about it that way before, but I guess I can say the same thing, Dave Rat taught me! Lol
Now, I learned how to run sound the old fashioned way of just starting to push faders as a teenager at a tiny church, and then moving up as I got more experience, but it was when I discovered Dave's writings long ago that I actually started learning about how things actually worked, so he gets all the blame! Lol
Dave, great job describing the impacts of comb filter cancellations in space, not an easy thing to describe, but easy to demonstrate. Thanks for giving folks several ways to address this issue. You are appreciated.
👍 awesome
I am thankful to have the opportunity to watch and learn from you Dave.
Super cool Andreas! I appreciate you joining and hanging out with me and us!
The 1st episode of 'Rat Responds to Reddit'
😆
Great info. Thanks!
👍🤙👍
This was absolutely spectacular. Thanks Dave for taking the time to create video content that teaches and inspires learning. You rock sir.
🤙👍🤙
Dave, I love that you’ve put all this knowledge out there. I’ll be going to school for sound design in a couple weeks, and being able to see and learn from people like you is tremendously helpful. 🤙🤙
Awesome and hopefully the teachers remember to have fun are not too set in their ways.
Phenomenal discussion Dave, thank you! Wish I had heard this 40 years ago. I also wish I could find younger techs interested in the art of mixing but after one night they are done. It takes physical work and mental work and takes practice and study. Not something many young people want to do for $100 a night. Now they whip out the credit card, spend $10k on a large new system, don’t care about the music, and produce a lifeless mix. We learned so much in the 70s, 80s and 90s about sound and mixing and music. Glad you are here sharing so much more with those of us that don’t have access to the latest gear or reps.
Thank you Sparks!!
Great bit of info in this for me. Some of the concepts I have learned to use (at times without realizing exactly what I was doing) a long time ago. Also, the more I listen to you explain this stuff, the more I laugh at the people that have a need to try and shoot you down. Keep it coming Dave. I'm all ears!
Awesome Christopher!!
Thank you so much Dave! Just worked my first summer as a monitor & FOH engineer for a decent little production company! Thanks so much for the information based off your experience. You’re the best! Love you!
That is awesome!
Thank you Dave Rat for being so insanely generous with your time and information, it's really appreciated. Here's to Dave Rat!
Thank you!
I've never joined any other RUclips channel other than Dave rat, and another fellow ( guitarist)...that's how good I felt about learning proper sound applications...I've been playing for 40 years now, and have enough time in to know, that Dave's the dude for me when it comes sound...thanks for sharing your knowledge Dave, it's helped a lot...keep on keeping on man!
Dave. Greetings from Ireland. I never comment usually but I found your channel late in my music career to my detriment. I love how you explain technically difficult concepts so effortlessly. Stay off Reddit! Keep up the great work. Love it!
Great to meet you Daragh! And it's good for me to do some offroading occasionally. Keeps things interesting
Honestly, your videos are by far, the best presentations of practical audio theory when it comes to live sound. Thank you for your work and diligence to offer clear, understandable and practical solutions to the problems faCED BY everyone who makes music.
👍🤙👍 thank you
Thanks Dave. Man, this is fantastic. After hearing your theory on sending different signals to L/R I too was wondering the best ways to do it. This definitely gives me some ideas. I've started implementing turning one sub off and it really does even out the bass coverage in a typical bar/restaurant room.
Awesome Anthony!!
yo thanks Dave this was super inspiring. the way you explained decorrelation here just clicked for me for some reason. big respect!
🔧🤙🔧
Thanks for sharing what you have learned over many years. As always, there will always be someone who likes to be negative and probably have no idea what they are talking about. You have been very helpful iin my quest to do live sound for bands. Again, thank you for what you do.
🤙🔧🤙
I appreciate you providing all the info you do. I’ve learned a lot. Most people don’t get to work big venues like you do so they can’t even try some of it. I love techniques based on oddly applied acoustics.
👍🤙👍
Great video as always Dave! This was an even clearer explanation than last time, really enjoyed this! Thank you!
👍👍👍
Love this stuff Dave!!! Keeping it real out there in the audio production jungle!!! Much appreciated man!!!!!!
👍👍👍
Dave, the information you give out has totally changed the way I do things, and makes it more fun. I have learned and had lots of "a-ha" moments through all your breakdowns. Plus adding nerdy fun science of electrical engineering to correlate on audio itself. Its a real treat. Some people I guess cant grasp that information!
So cool and thank you!! 👍👍
This is GOLD! Thank you Dave for taking the time to post!
👍👍👍
Dave Rat, thanks, this is great stuff. You have helped open my eyes to so much I never even thought to try, just because I was told "thats not right" or "that's not the way". Wish I was closer to you, I would absolutely love to take one of your classes or just spend the day with you absorbing knowledge and exploring ideas. Thanks for sharing
Great to meet ya DL Carb!
Thanks Dave.Awesome information and I really appreciate your willingness to share it !
Thank you Kirk!
This is absolutely amazing. You are absolutely correct!!! I have struggled with PAs for years. After hearing a real orchestra in an amazing room with NO PA is amazing. It sounds 3d. No microphone or PA can really reproduce that experience.
I agree and I believe we have set the standards way too low. People with high end esoteric hifi are still using stereo which is practically useless even if perfection is achieved for a single listening spot, as soon as 9ne moves even slightly the attempt at an illusion collapses.
Not unlike a movie or a TV fails to convince us we are actually elsewhere. VR gets us closer and headphones with binaural sound does as well.
But for speakers to recreate realism, stereo will always fail due to the limitatiins of two sound sources. Surround sound is an enhanced stereo.
I will do a video of a sound source that gets closer to realism at some point.
I LOVED this video, Dave. Thank you for taking the time to share some of your wealth of knowledge. This is incredibly generous of you! ✌
🔧👍🔧
Couldn't imagine what the answer would be, but the explanation makes absolutely great sense. Appreciate this insight, Dave!
Awesome!
Your explanations are always great! You make everything understandable.
👍🔧🔧👍
Glad you take the time to answer questions. Like those who took time to answer mine when I was a young padawan learner.
🤙🤙🎤🎤
I've been designing recording studios for over 20 years, and there is so much fascinating and fresh stuff here. Good brain tickling. Thanks.
Awesome!
Dave, your a frickin guru bro!
You make the most sense out of topics and scenarios others seem to go out of their way to complicate!!
You used several words today that until now did not exist in my vocabulary and if you asked me for the definitions of those words I wouldn't have known.
But your presentation explained in context what each word was WITHOUT saying "That means" and give the book definition AND I didn't have to go look it up!!!!
I understood everything you said and learned to speak like a "sound guy"!
You're one of a kind in my world, man! I'm very glad I found your channel!!!
🤘💀🤘
Thank you Patrick! That rules!!!
I've been a freelancer for just slightly less than a year now in live audio and it's been going swimmingly. I just wanna say I fucking love you man!
Thank you so much for being so open. You are a great resource.I have implemented a few of your tricks. Today I will try some subtle panning. I am Primarily a musician but I have a Sunday morning front of house Gig that helps to pay the bills.
Very cool and keep it fun!
Thanks Dave I'm sharing your videos to my technicians friends from Brazil!
👍👍
Damn, I’m glad you answered this thread! Brilliant stuff, thanks Dave!
Thank you Alex and more to come
its incredible just how much you prioritize projecting the magic thats happening on stage. so many young sound techs care way more about creating a textbook mix and forget to create a good audience experience
🤙👍🤙 🎤🎤🎤
Awesome Dave, thanks for the explanation. Please keep the lessons coming. Cheers from NZ
Cheers Bryce!! Cheers NZ!
I totally agree with your response. The key points I take from this are each situation is different and we as sound man have the ability to adapt in many ways.
Thank you for sharing your technical knowledge and experience in a manner that is understandable and helpful to the many with little or no formal training.
🤙👍🤙
Just want to take a sec and say thanks for all the time and effort you put into providing content. Always love to see what you come out with next!
🔧👍🔧
Cool cool! :) Have been subscribed and watching your channel for quite a while now and, as always, greatly enjoying every new video, the trove of practical knowledge, experience and ideas you so graciously share as well as your deep understanding and explaining the actual physics behind the inner workings of the complex sound reinforcement systems. Thank you Dave and keep up the great work!
👍🤙👍
Just getting started as a sound tech but always listened to Dave’s advice as a DJ and it’s always solid. He will always be in my tool box!!
👍🤙👍
I been running aux subs! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all your video content much appreciate your work sir.
I attended to a workshop of yours in Istanbul years ago and it was really mind altering. Maybe all mixing tips didn't work for me but the idea of keeping exploring after so many years changed how I think about FOH mixing. Thank you..
That's so cool and I remember! Thank you
Dave, your empirical approach and associated theory is very useful and extends knowledge and provides options. In many cases in live sound there is simply not one correct way of doing things. I for one have found your insight has increased oand/or reinforced my knowledge. As they say every day is a school day, thank you.
So cool thank you Matthew!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge dave, That was a great informative response to the question. Wish whoever would have posted that would have asked here instead of reddit. I try to avoid hanging out places like that, too much hate from people who have no clue what they're talking about. Please don't spend to much time or effort with negative comments. You've got over 50k subscribers here that love you and value your information.
All good and reddit has am8x of curious minds and trolls and sometimes it's good to call out the trolls. Reddit has an up vote down vote hierarchy so it does not take much to down vote trolls into obscurity.
Please, never stop doing this! Thanks!
So appreciative that this is 8nterwsting and useful
Let's face it you can't please everyone all the time. From what I can see your views are firmly based on the physics of sound and the engineering of sound reproduction. So people who come from the black magic and Voodoo side of sound will take exception to science and the scientific method. So glad you enjoy sharing your craft for everyone to learn from even those that don't get it. Keep it up man.
Thank you Bravo!!
Thanks for your channel David, I always enjoy your videos
Awesome and thank you
I’ve done the panned kick thing. Simply amazing. Tremendous low and with so much space for guitars.
I’ve done two different PA with vocals only in one. Simply amazing.
🤙🤙🤙
Dave you are spot on what a lot of people don’t understand is when you’re doing audio you’re painting a picture with your eyes closed just using your ears and the knowledge of the tools that you were using like I said before I can’t wait till one day to meet you whether it’ll be a big bear or at a venue
Cool cool Michael!
I really appreciate you. I m not yet at your level of proficiency and probably will not get there but I learn so much from you.
You make my brain spark.
Thanks.
Stay curious, have fun and be experimental when the situation permits
@@DaveRat Will do , thanks mate.
👍👍👍
Dave, I’ve watched your videos since 2011 and have always valued your incredible expertise and ability to explain the things that blend both art and science.
So cool and thank you!!!!
I have always found your videos helpful, and interesting. They inspired me to want to start a program called "Fix My Band," because the local groups just don't seem to have the business sense to run a band, nor the equipment to make their band sound good. Don't give in to those who don't understand - musicians CAN make a living and sound great. Sometimes we need help, and you're helping.
Thank you Carl!!
Dave Rat you my friend have the best energy out. Always calm and collected.
🤙🤙🤙 ty
Thank you for sharing your information, Dave! You certainly helped me to be a better sound engineer
👍🤙👍
This is excellent!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!
Thank you DJ!!
It was good to hear you talking about this, I seem to remember you put out a video covering these ideas in detail some time ago. I welcomed the information because prior to your video all the information in regard to sound reinforcement systems seemed to be pointing in the direction of a mono-block stack , each side of the stage, ... for coverage reasons!
I had been a free party system tech for many years and always ran a stereo rig, ...even though it was (and probably still is) deeply unfashionable in that scene ; ) While I can understand that once you scale up a stereo system new factors come into play due to the large distance between the individual stacks, dumping a stereo mix seems such a wasted opportunity. I guess back in the day when you weren't tied to a particular seat, ...anyone who was interested enough would move around the area and find their own sweet-spot.
I kept doing research looking for something that reflected my own preference, ..the joy of stereo, and I eventually did find information about the subtle differences in level of individual elements of a stereo mix would reduce the unwanted combing between the stacks, now we're talking! The issue of the 'power alley' in the bass was also creatively addressed by good old Tony Andrews, this is what he was saying in an interview with TPI magazine at the Glade stage at Glastobollox 2016.
"I’m calling what we’re doing ‘split-layering the bass’. You keep single sources by splitting the bass into two, with sub-sub on one side and ordinary bass on the other. They go over the top of each other, and they don’t do the same frequencies at all. So, for example, you do 25-45Hz on one side and then 45-90Hz on the other. That way you’ve only got one source. People in the audience get both things together, there’s no conflict. It’s amazing. This has been the first time we’ve been able to tr y it out."
Hats off to you Dave for all the fab information you share with everybody, all for the simple reason that the people in the audience can be truly moved the the audio experience, even if they are completely unaware of it ;)
Sir, I found your channel back in 09. I had no idea what you were talking about but I tried to understand it all. hahaha I ended up going to school and then things started to click. but anyway, I'm glad you put your stuff out there. every-time I engage with your content via youtube or online I always walk away having learned something new or a different approach. Thank you. Keep it up.
Wonderful Micah! Super appreciate the story and longevity. Makes thos a great adventure for me
Even just panning my keys and guitars makes a huge difference. Even in small venues. Dave doesn’t lie.
🤙🤙🤙
Hi, Dave rat. I started watching your RUclips videos lately and you give a lot of show and tell with professional audio equipment. I'm a self taught audio engineer and producer. I certainly admire your work and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work on your videos would love to see more.
Sincerely.
Anthony Gloria
Thank you Anthony!
Thanks Dave! Excellent info.
btw, I LOVE your T shirt!!
Awesome and thank you and if you're up to help support my RUclips endeavor I put a shirt site together at www.soundymcsoundface.com
You are like a prophet of sonic purity. An old skater prophet😁 I am an EE and have never heard decorrelation explained more expressively. Thanks for the lesson.
Awesome and thank you!
This is something i've been curious about for some time and I love all the info you share on your channel, your channel is truly an incredibly valuable resource, but i was really looking forward to seeing the test you mentioned at the end and a little disappointed when it wasn't there because I understand what you're saying in theory but hard to truly understand without a demonstration. Maybe a future video? I'm a young sound guy who knows enough to get by and do an acceptable (sometimes even good) job but also painfully aware that i have so much more to learn, so i am really happy i stumbled across your channel. Thank you!!
The test will be an expansion on the demo in this video

Not like I needed this video to know this, it just makes me want to say it, you're as cool as they come Dave... Appreciate you my friend!
Thank you Ron!!
I don't usually comment but, I just have to.
I find it super fascinating hearing someone talking about any subject with some factual knowledge of what they're talking about, as well as an undeniable passion for it, just like you do here.
The funny thing is, I'm not a pro-audio guy, but I could listen to you for hours!
I thank you on behalf of humanity, for the service you do with this lessons you give to us, and also wish you all the best.
Cheers!
Wow and thank you!!
Thanks Dave, years ago in a small club / 300. I ran a single cabinet centred just for the lead vocal, I am no mixing pro. Sounded good. I love the idea of double column pa.
🔧👍🔧
Amazingly interesting. Thank god we have u in our lives!
Big humble thanks
Excellent Dave. Before you comment people please; 1. Re--view the original video to extract as much as you can fromit. 2. Setup the experiments yourself and see for yourself the cause and effect. 3. Search for more info on the topic and read/watch it. Then formulate your questions.
I do appreciate the questions and interactions and comments and also, asking a question without doing some research first often denies the asker valuable added info learned in researching the subject
This is great! I want to see more for sure!
🤙👍🤙
They just wanted to say thanks for always keeping things for him explaining things in a simple way honestly if someone can't understand what you're saying it's cuz they're not listening
You're great. So glad I discovered your channel!
I am so happy you came to join!!
Always enjoy your vids. Exploring the vast galaxy of sound in ways previously unknown. As manufacturers produce more complex systems, basic principles remain. Not always true because the more we learn, the aspect from which those principles were conceived reveal different data. Dave you bring reality to the forefront in down to earth ways. Thank you ! (In my generation....Far Out !".
👍👍🔧🔧🤙🤙
Dave, thanks for your time putting these together. I’ve already referred you to many who I thought might get something out of your videos. Wasn’t it Einstein who said (paraphrase) “If you can explain an advanced concept to a third grader, you’ve shown mastery of the subject.” Well, I’m a third grader when it comes to sound engineering. So I’ll vouch for ya’. You do you and tell the doubters to get off your beach!
🤙🎤🤙
I tried applying this the first the i saw a video from Dave about it and it worked. I’m from a small church and I tried the method of doing different Eq on each speaker rig and I absolutely heard a difference, there was absolute clarity and less comb filtering …..so yeah…….the man knows what he’s talking about
I love this. The experimenting and also that info may be of use
