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/
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. 👏🏾
Incredible video, Mr. Coles! Very thorough, accessible, and cohesive. Not a wasted breath in the whole presentation. You have my sincerest appreciation for creating these tutorials. They are beyond informative and I wish I could study with you full-time. I will next be enjoying your EQ video and will probably post another raving comment when I'm done. Thank you!
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.
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.
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
The Guitarpreneur Page Thank you! I am glad that my videos are useful to you. I do a lot of one on one coaching at my studio in Philadelphia. Will soon clear time to create more vids.
I've been struggling to understand the basics of recorded sound and I found this video one of the most useful ones that I watched! Very clear and informative. Thanks!
Thank you for putting your time and effort into educating the community; your presentation was thorough throughout as it definitely saved me a lot of time and money! Can't wait to apply these fundamentals!
wow, excellent presentation! I particularly liked the dimensions that you painted as panning, frequency and depth with the speakers as the pallet. I am now even more excited about my journey into sound
THANK YOU! SO MUCH! I have this class at my community college that just would zip through this useful information and I would be so confused half of the time, but this video helped me understand that stuff more clearly. Thanks.
Just started my audio engineering classes & this is the best video I've come across that explains the basics as simply as possible. Great video. Definitely a new sub. 👍
Brother thank you so much for this invaluable information. Seriously, you brought to light for me something so easily and digestable. I am endlessly thankful. Bless you!!
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
Thank you sir. I was researching sound, and was beginning to understand it, but not how it was measured. Your video has helped me out. You explain things well.
I'm only ten minutes in but I appreciate yu taking the time to break this down. I'm going to be going to the recording connection soon and this will be extremely helpful
Thank you soooooo much! ✊🏾 I’ve been so frustrated and even quit engineering because I did not have the funds/resources to further. I spend countless hours trying to find a way around schooling to get a decent quality sound. Now.....this video!!! I say, is giving me the basic/fundamental tools I could’ve use years ago.
@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
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.
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?
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.
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.
Great vid. Currently I work as an AV tech and well sound isn't my strongest skill. I'm trying to elevate my knowledge and understanding, your video helped immensely. and I wil continue to watch your other lessons. Thank you.
This was so amazing thank you so much Samori you really sound and know what you're learning and you explain it so very well, I've learned more now and it was so intelligent of you to add the history and the very beginning of the recording inventions, it really gives you an idea on how the recording and software process works so I thank you so much :)
thank you so much you helped me be able to make it so my business partners would understand what I was talking about with sound frequency and what it can do.
Thank you for this video. I want to study a little bit about audio and I thought to learn about sound would be a good start. I want to learn how to edit my audio videos better since I really do not know the terms used in the audio editing. Peace to you.
Yep, the exact reason I'm here. I want to do voice overs which won't require me to do much in terms of all of the many options available in my editing software. I just want to know how to make my voice clean and clear sounding and make it presentable for my audience. I just don't have the vocabulary yet to be able to understand the tutorials available 🤷🏾♀️
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!
Congratulations on what I can only describe as a fantastic video. I have been trying to improve my music through a better understanding of some of the theory behind it and how sounds fit together better. Your presentation was clear, precise and well structured. As such it has certainly helped me get a better grip on some of the fundamentals and given me an appetite to learn more. Much appreciated and I am off to watch some more of your work
