I've just come across your channel, and am thrilled at the wealth of information you've presented in just the first few videos I've watched. Just a personal note: I learned a lot at Berklee (ahem, many years ago), and paid a lot for the knowledge gained, which I then taught other students at several colleges. And now, to see and hear your presentations on RUclips, sharing similar valuable information (but even more concisely and clearly than did my teachers at music school) fills me with joy! What a wonderful day and age we live in, with such amazing technology, and now the internet to share it with the rest of the world. You are doing a fabulous job sir, please keep it up. I've subscribed to your channel, and will eagerly watch and learn your materials, which you present so professionally.
Ahem. Thank you Professor of Audio University for this teaching. Deeply appreciate your thorough grasp of your subject and the fluency of your vocalisation of your vast knowledge on AUDIO.
2:42 I think the intent of these SE reflection filters is to absorb the source audio and attenuate it before it even hits the first reflection point behind it. They do make a noticeable difference, even with cardioid pattern mics. Ideally you have a combination of treatment options
i think the U-shaped devices that don't make much sense should work in the way, that they prevent the sound to travel past the microphone, where they could hit a wall and reflect to the wall behind you or next to you. so you're not blocking the reflection coming to the mic, you're preventing (to a degree) to even reach that point. i don't own one so i am just guessing...
That probably is the intention. I would guess that a good amount of energy is reflected back toward the microphone by the device itself, unfortunately.
Yikes. Really? You are feeding poor info to those who are trusting you to know what’s up. Although you are clearly a smart guy and doing your best, I suspect you have limited real world Professional recording experience. What made me stop listening and now commenting was you comments about proximity effect of microphones. Particularly your comments regarding ‘Omni’ mics. ONLY PRESSURE Omni mics with a SINGLE diaphragm will not exhibit proximity effects. And 90% of mics people use in ‘omni’ mode are not truly Omni. Only the very few single diaphragm pressure omnis made have no proximity effect. Ever used one? They are IMO absolutely wonderful. Good luck. Live and learn
It’s true that multi pattern mics still exhibit some proximity effect. But as you can hear, there is less proximity effect compared to a directional variation . To include that info would be a lot to handle in a beginner video like this one.
Ok. Your comment make sense. It takes many years of actual recording of real musicians to start to understand all of these things. Real world experience is how you really learn. There are no secret shortcuts. Good luck to all of you.
I'm in the middle of a career switch from software to audio tech. Just sent my first invoices and your videos helped me turn my career around. Thanks!
Congratulations! Glad to help!
Omg, I watched too many videos but it helped me a lot. Thanks!

Thank you very much, Steve! I appreciate these kind words.
Great job with this video. It is really great advice.
Thank you!
Your videos are the absolute best. Love all your explanations. Thank you for your service 🙏
Glad you like them, Jennifer! Thanks!

Thank you, @garudasomanna!
Succinct information presented in a professional accessible format. As usual, well done Audio University!
Thank you, William!

Bro this is fire all ways on point!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching, Nicholas!

@@AudioUniversity I'd be interested to see a test of this theory. In my experience it doesn't reflect audio back towards the microphone.
great sound, but you could improve your lens and teleprompter distance your eye moving too much :-)
Cheers.
Cheers! Thanks again!
Great video, the graphic at 3:08 looks like the top of a cabbage patch doll.😅
Haha! That is very true. Thanks for watching!
