I've seen various videos on sound design and synth fundamentals but this explained it so well that I actually understood these things for the first time. Every example, simile, metaphor, and analogy was ON POINT and helped me grasp the concepts better. Thank you so much!
Funny how I've used many of these terms every day for my entire life and never contextualized them with their core physical meaning. Thanks for a great video and I'll never let my ego talk me out of watching a "basics" lecture again. 🙂
Great explanation on synthesis , complex ideas with analogies! My major at Berklee was music synthesis so it’s also very satisfying that Berklee has a great educator explaining these ideas online and free to start. You want to go in deeper than take their online courses!
Your a genius, this is a great presentation. It quite literally explained everything I need to understand how a basic sound system works. I'm working on a project right now in the Unreal Engine that requires me to generate my own sounds and I haven't explored those systems yet so this really helped me a ton.
I'm years late to finding this video but absolutely love it. Just dipping my toes in sound production and hadn't found someone explaining these things just the way I wanted until now. Thanks for the video!
A lot of people learn with images, humanity needs to rethink education... it's stupid assuming everyone absorbs information the same way, this video is so far the best I have seen about synthesis tutorial, THANK YOU !!
This was so extremely on point and descriptive. It helped me visualize concepts that I'd already learned long ago but hadn't ground into my understanding as solidly as I have now. Absolutely excellent presentation, thank you very much.
Great explanation of what could not wrap my head around for years with what little time i have to do music... Man! This just change the game for me.. Thank you very much!
The frequency animation confused me a bit. I understand the concept of frequency, however when increasing the frequency in the animation, the shape of the wave is altered. The higher the frequency the tighter space between the peak and base of the wave gets smaller. So does increasing the frequency also alter the shape of the wave like this? Or is it just a logarithmic representation of decreasing wavelength as the frequency goes up?
Excellent job. Acknowledging the limits of the format and the wish to be brief, I would have truly appreciated a section on signal path(s), OR a linked part 2. If there's a part 2, I am missing it?
This was extremely helpful. The visual cues and the sound along with the sounds really helped me get a grasp of what was being described and discussed. Thank You
The process of recording sound stored in the form of thousands of individual measurements each at a discrete interval of time called sampling or synthesizing... please help me sir
Fun fact! You can break it down more! If MacIntosh is a cultivar, then the name would have belonged to the name of the person who made the cultivar! It’s actually McIntosh (the “Mc-“ or “Mac-“ coming from Irish family names). 🙂
This is super helpful & accessible. Thank you for making & sharing! I really liked the non musical parallels to the concepts, like apples & spaghetti strainers. Y'all rock!

Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Berklee_Online Do you guys have a specific course for only synths?
I've attended various institutions of higher education, and never have I seen an educator like this. This was absolutely incredible.
@kaz z Wow! Nobody cares! Thanks for the input though
@@NathanIsABAMF thats not very nnice
Fully agree
Wish everyone explained sound design easily like this
I love how you incorporate daily examples from our lives to explain the basics, its the best way for me to understand, thank you
Happy to help!
I learned more from this video then I did in science class
sorrowful tears lol fr
sørrowful tears mdxxxxxxx vv vvvvv.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Notice how well she defines the words used, such as envelope or frequency. This is so good for understanding

This is was just the explanation I needed. I could never grasp what the envelope did. The LFO Cutoff explanation just changed my life.
This is just one of the best videos in the history of the internet. Amazingly entertaining and clear.
Hello, thank you very much. It would be nice to have the "cut" option available in this video to use the clips for continuous reviewing.
Your a genius, this is a great presentation. It quite literally explained everything I need to understand how a basic sound system works. I'm working on a project right now in the Unreal Engine that requires me to generate my own sounds and I haven't explored those systems yet so this really helped me a ton.
You forgot Granny Smith apples which are by the greatest of all of the apples. The video was very insightful but this greatly upset me.
Ambrosia, take it from someone who handed out apple samples
It's all about the honeycrisps, baby.
I watched this to understand LFOs and accidentally learned the difference between tremolo and vibrato! Thank you!
Holy crap my life has meaning now! :D
This video blew my mind. Helped clarify so many terms that get thrown around in such a thoughtful way!
Thank you!
thank you so much you saved me from 5 hours worth of lecture videos and I was able to perfectly understand it. fr thank you
Wish I would have found this over the summer when I first got started with synths! Great presentation!
I'm years late to finding this video but absolutely love it. Just dipping my toes in sound production and hadn't found someone explaining these things just the way I wanted until now.
Thanks for the video!
phenomenal
Absolutely fantastic presentation and information fashioned in a way that is very easy to grasp. Much appreciated!
Followed perfectly. Then, LFO walked in and placed something in the fruit punch.
Solid video. Thank you.
A lot of people learn with images, humanity needs to rethink education... it's stupid assuming everyone absorbs information the same way, this video is so far the best I have seen about synthesis tutorial, THANK YOU !!
one of the best instructional videos I've seen in a long time - great job!
This was so extremely on point and descriptive. It helped me visualize concepts that I'd already learned long ago but hadn't ground into my understanding as solidly as I have now.
Absolutely excellent presentation, thank you very much.
Very helpful with great "like" examples. As a retired teacher I admire the clarity of the concepts. Great craft work.
Erin - you are a TRULY gifted teacher!
Great explanation of what could not wrap my head around for years with what little time i have to do music... Man! This just change the game for me.. Thank you very much!
Does anyone know what program that is, to make videos like this, educational and animated?
This video is so informative that I had to take notes.
Exactly!
i was loving this video already and then they mentioned my favorite song 8:20 and i just fell in love
One of the best, if not the best, video on this subject. Thank you for the clarity and all the wonderful examples used!
This video is so underrated.
Wow that's what I have waited to discover
You should definitely do audiobooks!
Well done, I've never seen these topics explained so simply and clearly!
Fantastic video!
The concepts were introduced in a very very noob-friendly way! :D
Glad you liked it!
I'm getting emotional watching this because it finally all makes sense. Lol
The frequency animation confused me a bit. I understand the concept of frequency, however when increasing the frequency in the animation, the shape of the wave is altered.

My brain and My ears were both very satisfied by the end of this video. Absolutely Superb❤️
This is the best synth basics video I’ve seen. Ty.
So I take it concepts of frequency and modulaiton are not taught in school today? Quite sad. Thanks for filling the gap.
This was extremely helpful. The visual cues and the sound along with the sounds really helped me get a grasp of what was being described and discussed. Thank You
been looking for this kind of explanation a looonnng time , finally found it! haha thanks!
The 16000 Hz tone took me back to the sound of an old dial-up modem connecting.
These analogies are amazing
3:11 woah, an 86! I wanna know who was the graphic designer for this video.
Wow! Thank for simplifying something I have spent years trying to understand.
Wow I’ve never learned anything so quickly. Amazing video.
9 Min Video that too me an hour to go through as I was taking notes!
This was 10 minutes of amazing!!
Amazing, made me applied to the school
Fantastic! Good luck.
@caprice.t no.
i LOVE this. The methaphores make it so much clearer
The process of recording sound stored in the form of thousands of individual measurements each at a discrete interval of time called sampling or synthesizing... please help me sir
6:17 before this video I never knew MacIntosh is a cultivar of real apple fruit lmao I thought it was only the name of computer
Fun fact! You can break it down more!
If MacIntosh is a cultivar, then the name would have belonged to the name of the person who made the cultivar! It’s actually McIntosh (the “Mc-“ or “Mac-“ coming from Irish family names). 🙂
Great YT suggestion! new sub indeed!! 👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
This is best video out there on understanding musical term. With good visuals and example.
Thank you for your explanation! Need all the synth basics info I can get! Great editing and animation as well btw 💙
wow. im really really surprised by how well done this video is. amazing !
i love the visuals, thank you for making this video
I’m having a geek day. LOVE THIS video. Thank you!!
That video was very....EDUCATIONAL (THANKS)
this is best video on this eva. wow.
beautifully succinct. not a word wasted, not a word short. Thank you - I will be checking out other berklee videos
Fantastic video!
Good job whoever the narrator is!
Wow wowow wowowow great teaching! Hats off from a teacher.
Learned a lot. Great video
That’s a great video explanation, thank you guys!
Glad you liked it!
thank you for a quick and informative lesson...I had to go over and look at my synth several times during the video to see how it all ties together!
Such a great explanation. Can't get any easier than this.
sick video so clear and helpful
Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! This video broke it down so succinctly... really rich examples and metaphors as well which is super helpful.
This has helped me so much.
That was awesome, I’m watching it again
justin goo
I was planning to make my own synthesizer with raspberry pi, now after watching this, naah. I'll just go and buy one.
Good video though.
Thank you so much for the video... Really loved your way of teaching.. You guys are making learning way more interesting ❤️
This is super helpful & accessible. Thank you for making & sharing! I really liked the non musical parallels to the concepts, like apples & spaghetti strainers. Y'all rock!
Outstanding video! Simple and relatable music education is the way.
Had no idea Mila Kunis was into synth
To the point, you are amazing.
Part two PLEASE
So clear ... great job!!
