The amount of technical and practical knowledge Dave has is crazy... I wish there was a weekly show like this with Dave, just hands on projects and various gig setups.

[@petruciucur]

WOW, Dave Rat is a legend. Thanks for the video.

[@nigell.8705]

"That is safe for humans right?" Dave: Uh...*grins* yeahh...yeahh 😂

[@sonidojamon]

that 🤣🤣smile!!

[@BeebopConnard]

Dave is made out of the same material as Steve Albini , they are passionate people that love to experiment and innovate for the fun of it . I love seeing them geeking around , RIP Steve .

[@alanrkanter]

Note to the camera person... Please point the lens in the direction of the items that are being discussed NOT at Dave and the interviewer !

[@cameron_krause]

THIS!

[@MrJackrockerman]

Agree 💯

[@MrJackrockerman]

Agree 💯

[@RichardFelipeMendez]

Agreed but with enthusiasm

[@aceedmond8053]

You got to experience the world of Dave Rat?!! Bro!

[@angarakchari108]

Not one , but there were two legends in this video. Not only informative, but so much fun to watch you guys together. I wish I could feel that super low deep bass one day.

[@mohitrahaman]

All the guests featured on Audio University so far are legends or the top 0.01% who are masters at their craft.

[@clicks59]

Dave’s the real deal… definitely a legend.

[@toonertik]

WOW, that yard reminds me of way back in the 70/80s and the TASCO yard in Lambeth, London UK.. we could get 2/3 semis in for loading.. ceilling was a lot higher though.. and so were we ;-)))

[@risheyrsp]

Had a wonderful time watching this! Thanks Kyle and AU!

[@psalm150studio]

Wow! More vids of u and Dave sir.😊

[@MixmasterMegz767]

Always great seeing Dave in videos , such inspiration and knowledge, wish the video was longer but I know you legends are busy and time is money lol

[@alanblumlein]

Brilliant video Kyle and fantastic content. Fascinating to hear Dave explain in such detail and with obvious passion. Thank you 👍

[@jaypaulson5181]

Must have been a great time to hang with Dave- a seemingly everyday guy who thinks on a totally different level! But his t-shirt says it all…!

[@fivechordmusic]

Dave Rat is an inspiring dude. Nice !

[@ConstantijnKool]

What a legend!

[@jan-pcro]

Really cool! Thank you❤

[@sbroggie]

Great video! That place is a wonderland for audio nerds. Thankfully, I live nearby and do business with RAT. Great people and Dave is the GOAT.

[@mixinglane]

Really cool. Learning every time from you both

[@tseitz]

Absolutely incredible

[@Dauntless.steadfast.fortitude]

As always A.U. great video, audio, education, information, vibes, humbleness

[@jasonwooler801]

Luv ya Dave. Mad as a cut snake but 100% pure sound geek + a slight genius to boot..

[@stefanhoffmann2748]

Wow - what a cool video with the legend. Thanks for sharing the insight.

[@AudioEngginer]

Akhirnya Kamu Collab dengan David 🎉

[@ToddWCorey1]

Thanks to AU for another great vid, and with my man Dave to boot!

[@firstboyonthemoon8876]

Dave! You look great, bro! Ive been watching you doing sound for so cal gigs since the 80s.

[@theberndog]

I'm a big fan of Dave. I even got a signed hat by him. Lol, rock on!

[@richardbelisle4807]

Thanks Dave😀🙏🏼🕉🕉

[@thrillamoe50]

I first saw him when he was talking about the array systems, great vid man i learned alot, im not about to run 40K watts in my lil studio but im finally getting some subs and pa to mix in with the studio monitors, i would like to get some used ones, and learn to upgrade the internals on my own. Great vid, keep em coming.

[@KristoffKuche]

WOW indeed !

[@basroos_snafu]

Ehhh... I assume this is part 1 of at least 4? That was amazingly interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@Hipyon]

😊 you’ve got balls to sit in That Chair? time with David that must’ve been great fun I’m curious at what frequency does it become safe to be exposed to more than 110 dB

[@Arvidien]

That throne would trigger a sudden urge to visit a bathroom.

[@aceedmond8053]

Or the chiropractor lol

[@pileofstuff]

The brown note research throne.

[@DJDynamight]

Whoa!! 😮fascinating stuff!!

[@harbosonius]

I was a bit skeptical about the X32 until I had to use one at a state fair for an entire month. 286 shows in the Texas heat and not one single issue except for an iPad with a crappy battery life that I was using to run it(I left the console backstage and mixed on the iPad from the crowd). I actually demanded the same exact rig for the fair this year I enjoyed it so much. It was a little tough learning curve coming from an analog background, but once I got it, I got it.

[@IrenESorius]

Cool skateboards Dave,, 💖🌟💖

[@quintessenceSL]

OhMiGawd! Could have easily spent years poking around!

[@richardbelisle4807]

I’ve heard other channels ask engineers what’s new to come…..the answer should be ask Dave RATT

[@oservoasafe]

i love how personal these videos are even tho this channel is not even trying to be that

[@Phantommxr]

love dave

[@bolttracks]

Putting the "Engineer" in audio engineer. Refreshing to see.

[@sethblackman8445]

hi dave what a cool dj set up two cool ass dj set up two dave two🎉

[@bradleypower4803]

wicked man

[@NewDerseyBeats]

🔥

[@stingray1irwin0]

If you want to check out Dave's work in person, he does this little thing called Coachella every year

[@rickshearer]

Who would of thought a rat would be so fascinating? 🐀

[@Oscar-Racso]

Great video yeww

[@Bradleybrookwood]

I am so jealous of you. You basically got to travel all around the world and visit some amazing studios. How did you manage that it must've been really expensive. I wish my room was soundproof and not echo but I can't afford soundproofing

[@AudioUniversity]

I feel very fortunate that my videos over the last few years have provided me a way to do this. A lot of gratitude to the viewers and brands who have supported me.

[@Bradleybrookwood]

@@AudioUniversity I would love to get sponsorships and audio brands being my sponsor and giving me some stuff

[@agustinlara2356]

So for how many seats does the venue hold for this 100,000+ watt speaker set up you have?? Dave rat: 1 😂

[@sonidojamon]

LEGEND

[@kendalljoshua]

Brilliant

[@russellzauner]

always cool when two channels I sub to do a collab, nice, thanks for the content guys

[@bugmarkus]

playing world of tanks will be explosive on that rig🤩

[@HEADORGUT]

Dave rules!

[@fredygump5578]

Now dave needs to build a subwoofe igloo for home theaters! That would cover the height channels.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

_Rad._ Dave Rat is a true American original. An embodiment of the "American Dream."

[@bengraves4724]

I love him, but I wouldn't let him drive a fork lift.

[@morbidmanmusic]

He does well in a semi.

[@ericgardner5969]

Might have just found my dream job. DAVE! I WANT TO WORK FOR YOU!!!

[@daviHuggMonster]

live sound is just....totally nuts

[@butterblood]

OG

[@newsense2435]

learning is fun ;9)

[@UrMusicConceptz1]

Greatttt

[@cremefresh1]

Dave Rat!

[@NNokia-jz6jb]

Wow. That reversed speaker.

[@NNokia-jz6jb]

What brand/type is it?

[@xingc3948]

Hi , I have a question that I have been having for a while. It may sound a bit stupid, but I look forward to your answer. Thanks a lot. Does the AVB audio interface support connecting multiple computers simultaneously through the network? Recording and playback can be performed by configuring different channels on different computers. For example, in a recording studio, in two control rooms, two computers can be used for recording through one AVB interface.

[@Crixtonaizy]

Sick Camera Man 😐

[@loicst313]

welcome to the land of milk and honey

[@zakaroonetwork777]

Maybe you should give an introduction… Who the Flip is Dave Rat? A Roady at a Rental House? IDGI….

[@morbidmanmusic]

90% of us know. And... google!

[@scandinavianserialki]

yeah yeah yeah yeah it's "safe"

[@yonut7]

Those super subs have maybe 1000 kg :)))

[@Bradleybrookwood]

What audio interface are you using? It's amazingly clean audio. Also is it compatible with Linux

[@grantbovee]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@guitarplayer5932]

camera man failed big time, focus in in what they’re talking about its not rocket science
