I am the Master of Acoustic recordings. Needing NO power requirements I need no studio, and wrap my Mikes in a studio like environment, the inverse of wrapping a box around the driver, but doing the same job in handling unwanted frequency bounce and phase cancilatio/boosig, bla bla, bla bla, I am knackered. But maybe I could help YOU to set up a Studio ? Young Padawan. Its actually one of my discarded Patents. I can binaurally record and/or filter anything, so the world is my studio.

My Post suddenly went nuts and can't be posteriored to change it all. Figure it out. .

[@sohamshah3128]

Really great explanation. The problem with most other tutorials is they don't show visually the propagation of sound which makes it really difficult to imagine , but you sir have done a terrific job , Thank you!

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, @Soham Shah! I’m glad you found the video to be helpful! The animations are from Dr. Daniel Russell. He has a lot of cool animations for visualization of sound waves here: www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/demos.html

[@BelOo98]

This is the best and most intuitive explanation ever. Thank you so much for the time and effort put in this video🙏

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Bella Iancu!

Dear Professor Kyle - nicely expalined.

[@frangalante397]

I've been looking for this type of videos for a long time. Thank you mate for giving us this information. Apreciate it a lot. Keep it up!

[@sreeshab4093]

Excellent explanation. It is easy to understand when we think of a Band or a string, as it is elastic medium. Let's say I take a piece of hard stone and hit it on ground. Even this produces sound. But here stone or ground may not get compressed (being elastic such as band or string). How does then the surrounding air get compressed or rarefacted?

[@AdrianOlivas_]

Fantastic explanation of the concept! Subscribed!

[@Christopher._M]

That explains why they say each decibel of sound is more difficult to produce.

[@a.bloke2.0alwayslearning.23]

Its good to meet someone who understands Newtons Cradle effects. For years on the News Fusion "Science" App I have been beating it into inculcated minds that is how ALL 'Force' is transferred, by knock on impact and not distance travelled. They prefer "String Theory". (Keep a little on you in case you wanna tie something up. What nonsense !) My Speciality is Sound. I am unlikely to ever know every thing, (no one knows what they don't know), but that's chance is becoming increasingly unlikely. I shall watch your videos very carefully. . PS. Play that guitar tonight ! .

[@Adventure_Outdoors_with_Lucky]

I REALLY REALLY needed this. Thank you!

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adrontisin]

this is what i was looking for

[@qwertandrew8720]

i love physics of the sound

[@timothyreynolds6255]

I did not find the link to blueprints for diy sound panels. Please share. Thanks for a great video.

[@67stephenmarks]

So informative, thanks

[@amidall]

Just found your channel... This is literally my first comment ever on yt but I had to send some love :DD This is exactly what Ive been looking for really really great job with every video ive seen so far keep it up

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, Adela Machonova! Welcome to the channel! Let me know if there are any topics you'd like me to cover in future videos!

[@danieltriana1937]

Dude... Thanks!, really apreciate.

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad it helped! Thanks, Daniel.

[@tbaynes]

Very nice job! Clear and easy to understand explanation. Thank you for sharing!

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Tom!

[@praneethdhanushka207]

Dear Sir, if you have any chance please create a video for the concept of Power Compression of loudspeakers. I think it is also an important part of the speaker's study.

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, Praneeth! I'll add it to the list!

[@CarolinaMartucci]

So fascinating, thank you!!

[@paulrutkovskis]

Great video, thanks!

[@__________hugo]

Thank you

[@qwertandrew8720]

tell us , how and where we can design our room, what absorption need to achieve we looking for ??

[@praneethdhanushka207]

Dear Sir, how are you? Hope you are doing great! Please I don't have much clear idea about Power Alley (Subwoofer). I know it is related to Subwoofers and their distance. If you explain about that I that or if you do a demonstration it will be a nice time. Thanks Praneeth

[@AudioUniversity]

That's a great idea, Praneeth! Thanks! I'll add that to the list of future video topics!

It is actually opposite; a membrane moving outwards will see a low pressure not a high pressure in front of it. That is because pressure is proportional to acceleration not displacement, for harmonic motion. Displacement and acceleration have opposite sign for harmonic motion. Don’t sweat it though , even most acoustic engineers get this wrong. Feel free to reach out if you want to know more about acoustics. René PhD. Acculution.com

[@AudioUniversity]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, Rene Christensen!

[@mzaudioproservis]

Good

[@LeonvanBokhorst]

Excellent explanation 👍

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, Leon! Please share with others who would find it helpful!

[@sudheep_s_unni]

Good class 👍🏻

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, @HERTZ AUDIO!

Hi, I have a suggestion for a video. Could you research and explain phone recording. Suppose I am recording directly from my phone, what are the issues based on that equipment I am dealing with and the possible solutions. Every phone has a mic and speaker built in and most phones have a headphone jack. Since both these are together in the same equipment what kind of issues can come up for someone who's recording directly into the phone. And what kind of issues can come up if he is recording through a headphone cum Mic. And what kind of issues can come if he's recording through an external microphone (dynamic/condenser) plugged in through various adaptors (without interface/pre amp). A lot of normal people have begun recording on their phones and want to do so with minimum equipment and simplified solutions. So it would really help them. Thank you.

[@AudioUniversity]

Good suggestion! Thanks.

[@qna9022]

:) in trying to record meditations through my phone and I'm so lost. The recording directly through phone gives a mili second phased out electrical buzz - so frsutrating. Condenser mic I bought gave too much noise (traffic around my room). I was thinking of buying a dynamic mic but people said the recording will be very quiet and if I increase the db in post production in an app on phone like lexis audio editor, I'll end up increasing the noise too. So, I just don't know what on earth to do. I don't wanna buy a preamp. And then someone suggested I should get a usb sound card. What does that do I don't know. So totally lost. & I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who record and even edit on phone with minimum and affordable equipment. So that's why I asked. :)

[@AudioUniversity]

I agree that the best option for you would be to connect a directional dynamic microphone to an audio interface (usb sound card). Then point the directional mic toward you and away from the noise source. Watch this video for help choosing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvLeZ-AjLtmgMU

[@modmartinez]

Bro why you dripping sweat? Also, thank you for this knowledge.

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad to help, Moddy!

It's misleading to introduce the explanation of sound waves with the example of transverse waves through water because sound waves are not transverse waves they are longitudinal waves.

So informative, thanks
