    If you’re worried about scaring off mass viewers with tech stuff, please make another channel. A whole bunch of us in here just to see how you do things, and catch bits of knowledge as we can. Videos like this one that’s chalked full of just knowledge is a huge blessing. I for one would watch every tech video you post. Likely multiple times. Keep it up man!

      @Harry_Gersack 2 месяца назад +4

      I think he won't scare off regular viewers. After all this is pretty much a tech channel, if he's machining or explaining probably doesn't matter that much to us. The only difference is that the explanation videos lack sick time lapse music 🤘
      Overall views mainly depend on the title and thumbnail of the video. That's what get's random viewers, which in turn exites the algorithm which in turn gives you more random viewers again and so on...

    As the son of an engineer who works in IT professionally, I really enjoy the technical videos. I turbocharged my first car in 1985 having no idea what I was doing. A 1978 BMW 320i with a kit that I bought out of a back of a magazine. If I had nearly immediately crashed the car, the kit probably would have destroyed the motor in short order, but it worked real well for a little while until I hit a dirt bank about 80 miles an hour.

    The idiosyncrasies of turbos can definitely be complicating. With big changes in DA you can't even get up on the 2-step like what I saw with Garrett at Bandimere. Depending on your launch RPM you can have a similar issue. Cool to see this in detail. Thankfully it is a lot easier to figure out these days for the most part.

    I remember when we worked with one of the 1st haltechs in the late 80s, haltech f3, had a radio shack laptop, and the screen was just a bar graph and did fuel only, locked out the distributor at 28 degrees and that was it. The basic components of the turbo system havent changed just now we have a sensor for everything, need one to weigh the driver also. Lol. But what you are saying makes so much sense, the consistency of starting line launch. Before transbrake and your right foot, now 2 step, co2 controls, ignition timing, and boost ramp.

    I Could definitely see where shaft speed and boost pressure in a log would be very beneficial, especially if you have barometric pressure, temp and humidity data with it. Talk about building a tune table for just about any condition! No more guesses on tune up after you have enough data. There's probably an easier way of doing this though....

    @georgedreisch2662 2 месяца назад

    First, I don’t know shit bout turbo systems.
    Think doing a series on turbo related tuning is a great thing.
    Also think doing a full explanation with schematics, definitions, and explanations of function and interactions of components, would take your lessons over the top. Getting everyone on the same sheet,as to what’s happening and not happening, to connect / manage the abstract of the two sides of the turbo, would take out much of the unintended shittalking, and circular arguments, in the conversation.
    As always, great stuff Pete…

So, if you're ever in a pinch for time or need a little help working on a project/song drop me a line. I can accommodate Cubase or about any DAW. And, I love the tech videos and your original music. So refreshing to see someone who takes the time to create and share original music in their content.

      I'm very interested in what you have to say about this. I am kinda out in the wilderness here....I don't really have any musician friends who can help me with this or even anyone I can bounce ideas off of. So many want an "album' or spotify option from me, but I don't have any idea what's involved in that. I work from the top down and know zero about mastering, etc. I have terrible problems with latency when using microphones on vocals or horns. All kinds of technical issues that I just have to come up with work arounds for. It would be nice to have someone to consult with occasionally.

    • @wastelandmetal
      @wastelandmetal 2 месяца назад

      @@realgoodatdoinstuff900 It's not terribly difficult to get your music on the streaming services. Probably the easiest way is to use one of the publishing services like Distro Kid or CDBaby. Latency issues can be tricky, and a lot of it depends upon the PC, DAW, and audio interface you're using. It gets pretty technical quickly when sorting out latency in some scenarios, but typically it's a matter of understanding buffer sizes and how each DAW handles latency compensation. I'm not sure how to get in contact, but I'd be happy to discuss your issues.
