    Understanding the fundamentals of sound, and how sound works, is an essential first step to becoming a better Audio Engineer. Recording history dates back to the 19th century. There have been numerous advancements in recording technologies since the first sounds were recorded. In fact, innovation continues to propel the audio industry toward more efficient processes. However, despite the changes in recording devices and mediums, the basic fundamentals are the same today as they were a half a century ago.

    This video is lesson #1 in LDB10.COM's Audio Engineering & Music Production program.

    It was an absolute pleasure making this video. I love this craft of OURs. By the way, I created a comprehensive Audio Engineering training program that is helping music creators (like you) earn more revenue, expand their careers in the music industry, and increase their demand. It's called 'The Audio Engineering Blueprint'. Here's the link to learn more: theblueprint.samoricoles.com/

    I watched a documentary once, where a potter from like 3000 years ago was creating a vase on a rotating pottery wheel. He was etching designs into it with a needle as it turned. Right at that moment, somebody came in and yelled at him about something. The vibrations from the yell were recorded into the clay, and engineers were able to play back the yell 3000 years later.

    This is exactly what I needed. I am a newbie voice-over artist and trying to learn my software by watching so-called beginner tutorials. But the jargon and shop talk that they used are over my head. I figured I need to get back to the basics and I'm very glad I found your playlist of sound engineering. 👏🏾

    Researchers have recently proven that it was Edouard Leon Scott de Martinville who made the first sound recording in 1857, two decades before Edison. Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do was the first sound, or sounds, recorded. Au Claire de Lune, the first song. Initially, the researchers thought it was a woman who sang, but they discovered it was played back at the wrong speed. Corrected, Scott's voice is clearly discernible. We know it is Scott because of his notation of an error. He had transposed two words in the song's lyrics. Edison was aggressive in grabbing credit for inventions. Tesla and Scott are not as famous, but credit is due them. Although Mary Had A Little Lamb is a lovely tune, Au Claire de Lune deserves the privilege of being the first song ever recorded; solfeggio the first sounds. Mary Had a Little Lamb is 2nd, although a Major 2nd.

    thanks Mr Coles ! your English was good, you speak well , i am Swedish and my English is bad, , i am working with it all the time sinse 2 years ago when i started to sing in English, it ended in catastrof!!! and now added studying Courses in recording and mixing to , and all of these books and movies is in English, bad luck for me, but you made it, even forigners with limited knewlidge can understand you most of the time, yes i used translaters some times, but you are gift. sended from heaven . thanks again peter carlsson Gothenburg sweden

    Wow wow You are"Amazing",am blown away, the way you speak with such patience and understanding on the subject ,the way you use examples of everyday life occurences to bring the point across,I dont know where to start, Thank You Mr Samori Coles Big Thank you again for the masterful way you speak and teach, you have made me how to listen and learn again at 57, I love listening music as it gives me an inner peace,but i never took the time out or i must say i never knew how to start to understand all the different aspects of the sounds in music something that I take for granted . Maybe i got sensitive ears through working in noisy envorinment in Engine Rooms or deep sea diving job i did for 12yrs or then it could my age but lately any music sound i listen to has got be sounding just right otherewise it irritate my ears,so i was looking for some way where i could re work the songs i like to make the sound better in my ears and that how i come across you on youtube doing your vid with that Pro Tools stuff. Geez ! i never knew this is what you Sound Engineers do, You got that gift to express yourself in Sound !" AMAZING" Teach me Teacher! Thank you Richard

    I am composing movie scores as a hobby and this helped me a lot. I was always wondering how could someone like Hans Zimmer make instruments sound up/down - front/back... a good example is the brass in a movie score - it is in the upper part and a little behind in the background sounding very clean, no overlapping other instruments and I never understood how could I create that, my songs always felt boring and muddy... and thats because I didn't 'painted' a full sonic picture... I placed everything in the middle, no panning, no frequency adjustments - only volume. Now when I create a new song I always apply these fundamentals and my mix is much cleaner and the instruments are not overlapping like before. Very well explained. Thank you.

    I just want to tell you, that you have such a mellifluous voice. It is a great pleasure to listen to it while absorbing so much data. I am interested in sound wave isolation in forensics. Can you please tell me what basic equipment I need? I.e Basic text books etc would be a great help. Fabulous tutorials. Best of luck.

    • @iamsamori
      @iamsamori  6 лет назад +2

      Thank you for your kind words! I had to check Google for "Mellifluous". Lol. You are very kind, Pat. I'm not as versed in "sound wave isolation in forensics". How far has your research gotten you thus far?

    • @patpathinayake3586
      @patpathinayake3586 6 лет назад

      You are very welcome Samori. "Mellifluous" was the only word, I could think of, well suited for your voice at the time. There are many beautiful archaic words in the English language but they hardly get used in the modern era. I am glad that you checked on Google, many will not.
      Sound wave isolation is a special field which helps to identify specific background noises. I simply like learning new things. I will try to keep you posted. Best of luck.

    @10:40 This is important for discerning sound. At high levels it can become much harder to recognise the shape or flow created by all the sounds in a mix. Also, reducing channel volumes accordingly [as opposed to raising them] can suddenly bring a flat or washed out mix back alive again

      Becca B You're welcome, Becca! Yes, I do have more videos. I've done videos on E.Q., Compression, the Mixing Board, and Basic Mixing. If you search for my name (Samori Coles) along with the topic that you are interested in (on RUclips) you will find the videos. I am glad that you enjoyed 'The Fundamentals Of Sound' video!
