i really admire that soulbrotha is a guy who cares about making good stuff on the internet but also doesn't give a fuckin shit about youtube marketing. the youtube superstars who annoy me the most are basically the exact opposite.

[@AnaxofRhodes]

The hero KZbin don't want, but needs.

[@drifter402]

Exactly. He reminds me of 2000s internet. The great shit people would make just because they wanted to. No flashy jumpcut meme bullshit.

[@doomfan12345]

"WeeGee Plays has paid soulbrothanumbuh3 an undisclosed amount of money to put this issue behind them." Ball out, no doubt.

[@kingofsting19]

Break bread to make bread.

[@JOBOT_Animation]

I get roasted at 10:19 ... feelsbadman.

[@EnderPartyLord]

How'd you do the edit where you make each other's icons change size with their voice? I'm imagining you didn't edit it all frame by frame by hand and everything.

[@JammyD2579]

Saved me from asking haha. Being honest? I wouldn't put it past Bob to do frame-by-frame edits for this!

[@toothmonsterr]

i've done similar things in after effects before and it's actually very easy. you just convert the audio into a series of points, and then use that as a controller for your effects. theres a few tutorials online and it involves using a bit of scripting but nothing too complicated

[@bobvids]

after effects has the ability to convert audio to keyframes, so you can parent object transforms to audio that way. all i did is: 1. convert soulbrotha's and my audio to keyframes separately 2. pickwhip soulbrotha's and my profile images' scale property to our respective audio keyframes 3. edit the default AE expression as needed to get the desired effect you want. mine ended up being: [100+temp*1.4, 100+temp*1.4] it's actually much simpler than it sounds, and it's a very useful and versatile effect. i used it in "strangle" to get the lights on the robots' chests to blink to the beat of the song, which i did by simply parenting opacity to audio keyframes instead of parenting scale.

[@LemKuuja]

EnderPartyLord look up audio reaction for after effects

[@kenzikapture3729]

bobvids do you mean that ralphthemoviemaker is also plagiarist i don't want that to that to be true but if he is a plagiarist then why, i need to know. I dont want to think that my favorite idol is also a plagiarist person because it has the word suck from one of his videos

[@BexRanner]

soulbro is baller shit R.I.P. Hungry Man Dinner

[@casualmisfitcasualgamers3214]

I like this. Seeing people who actually care about what they do pulling together like this. *subbed*

[@SirLordHatCawk]

Shouts out to Soulbrotha, one of the illest KZbinrs. Make another Batman beyond Ill

[@zeroeleven6551]

Macks' talking about video essays is such a good preview for his star wars the last jedi video.

[@King_Waddle_Dee]

Two of like my favorite channels holy shit 💛

[@jenafierro1500]

So Bob, I have a very important question for you, that is kind of a special question to me. I came to your channel during the days when you made the homecoming LP and I am still under the impression that it is the finest LP/Documentary on KZbin. I understand that trying to carry on production of LPs like that is next to impossible. Your effort in that LP is really crazy. Would you still consider putting out content of that caliber if you had help? And how many people would you need to justify doing this?

[@redwhiteandvibranium120]

Halfway through I realized I have little interest in audio quality and pretty much just want to feel smart. 😂

[@nodamagedone84]

So it’s kinda like photography? RAW can be manipulated to a bigger extent more so than a JPEG. Having my photos stolen I know exactly how the fella feels, I’ve given up really trying with photography... seeing a picture of mine with an Instagram filter on it is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m glad he got a bit of a settlement out of it. X

[@Kardel_VA]

both you and Macks need more subs

[@freakingepicgamer2002]

dear God your videos are well done, please show us how you make content!

[@ZedKingsley]

Out of curiosity, how did you make the profile bubbles react to the audio?

[@perfectwing1999]

From another comment thread: "after effects has the ability to convert audio to keyframes, so you can parent object transforms to audio that way. all i did is: 1. convert soulbrotha's and my audio to keyframes separately 2. pickwhip soulbrotha's and my profile images' scale property to our respective audio keyframes 3. edit the default AE expression as needed to get the desired effect you want. mine ended up being: [100+temp*1.4, 100+temp*1.4] it's actually much simpler than it sounds, and it's a very useful and versatile effect. i used it in "strangle" to get the lights on the robots' chests to blink to the beat of the song, which i did by simply parenting opacity to audio keyframes instead of parenting scale."

[@MrsNeuroticoctopus]

What is the voice over style they're talking about around 6:40? Wry? Rhye? Rai?

[@bobvids]

it's "wry" i believe, as in "bitterly or disdainfully ironic or amusing"

[@doomfan12345]

I remeber trying to look it up when this video first came out, glad I wasn't the only one.

[@SuperGoombaAlex]

There's just one thing that bothers me in both Weegee's and Soulbrothanumbuh3's videos... "...with no concept of qualiteh" It's pronounced qualit-e, not qualit-a.

[@ardenbob]

Watch more soulbrotha vids

[@Pablo360able]

Wait, his name isn't actually soulbrothanumuh3? I am disappoint. Ed.

[@undetestable1]

Did he say "speak in rye" what is speaking in rye??

[@Angelm02]

undetestable1 3 months late but - Wry - cleverly and often ironically or grimly humorous. (Word to merriam-Webster dictionary)

[@Firguy]

I wish I could eat steak everyday. I'd be in great shape.

[@RenqiuChen]

sick stuff man, keep it up

[@blainefiasco8225]

Is that avatar actually him? He’s funny, extremely knowledgeable, and helpful but I kinda don’t like his personality. He comes off kinda rude and snarky to me(I mean he does sound like he's just over it but still). If that's the way he peaks though ok.

[@carljohansson1087]

Blaine Fiasco that is not him. It’s a former NBA player.

[@devononair]

I enjoyed this until he started insulting the GoPro, which is one of the best objects I own! I presume this guy doesn't do any extreme sports... (this is a light-hearted comment :) )

[@rslrandy]

COOL

[@pip5528]

Audiophiles don't just listen to vinyl. They also listen to high-quality lossless codecs and various other formats. Being an audiophile is about being a hi-fi enthusiast. It's about enjoying high resolution audio and immersion. It's about experiencing every bit of music or audio recording. I get where he's coming from, but his view of what an audiophile is is somewhat limited and misguided. An audiophile can like simple vinyl on a stereo, or 24/192 sampling and bitrates, or home theater, or even high-quality XLR microphones with high-quality preamps. An audiophile is a hobbyist. Yes, he is right to say an audio professional is not an audiophile. No, he is not right to say an audiophile is a person who likes to do nothing but sit around and listen to vinyl records. Some audiophiles don't even like vinyl. Being an audiophile myself and loving vinyl, home theater, microphones, etc., and also enjoying the immersion high-fidelity equipment can provide, I personally take offense to this.

This is where I heard The Game Grumps joke kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfNq4akbrh_oskm32s . This is also just a hilarious video if you've seen SAO Abridged

[@bdinh3130]

Woah, fuck dude. RIP game grump fans.

[@champloo1788]

This talk wasn't really that great imo. Soulbrotha wanted to talk other topics but you kept dragging him back to the weegee video when it sounds like he was pretty much over it.

[@XiremaXesirin]

I mean, this was structured more like an interview. It's pretty natural for the interviewer to have a specific topic they want to cover and focus on.

[@invertin]

I don't think he "kept dragging him back into it" it felt like a natural flow of the interview format and they finished off on a note about audio editing without even bringing up the plagiarism thing.

[@doyleharken3477]

Did.. did we watch the same video? Bob interviewed Max on the Weegee story, and Max had a couple interesting work experiences to add to the conversation.

[@Bafooba]

Bob steered the conversation to the Weegee video once, they talked about it and continued with other topics. Not sure how you got "you kept dragging him back to the weegee video" out of that.

[@bugglemagnum6213]

Champloo nice profile pic

[@Thatisrickdiculous]

you guys have great chemistry, Do podcast together!

[@drowzebra1308]

I don't like that soulbrothanumbuh3 calls any Personal Use intended tools, "toys". Things that are not commercial tools can still be a great fit. soulbrotha should understand that not everyone is confident enough in their available time, skills or financial situation to invest like it is the total focus of their careers, and even moreso, it leads into "bad carpenters blaming their tools" so to speak.

[@ianbennett2443]

The purpose of the video way to advise people who were seeking to become professional voice actors. He specifically states at the start of the video that if you just want it as a fun sort of hobby or something on the side, you can somewhat disregard the video. But for anyone who is or wants to be a professional voice actor, the yeti, or any usb mic, is effectively a toy. Also, he does provide alternatives for condenser mics that are far better around the price point. Point being that it’s fine if you can only spend around 100 dollars on a mic, just not a yeti.

[@LiforxMusic]

:b

[@JohnDoe-ys1vb]

Eh calling blue yeti mics toys is pretentious, sure they may not be professional but that doesn't make them a toy, you still can make good videos with them (as bobvids shows)

[@dvdcopyofsharktaleVEVO]

Holy shit im early
