Not gonna lie I miss Jason being a part of this.. but this I think was the closest to the same kind of chemistry and vibe to old MR… do more like this!

[@AlexKeyes299]

They never were going anywhere. Why you think that their veiws went down the shitter. Jason probably didn't wanna upload every 6 months and actually wanted content out I bet but it looks like lazy fuck over here got too happy with releasing a video SEMI ANNUALLY.

[@daniel-marcinkowski]

Wait, that's all? I want more! Holy moly that was 36min long, i could have sworn that video is just about 10 minutes long.

[@ModernRogue]

Brandt and the crew killed it on this one!!! -Brian

[@ExVeeBrawn]

Brandt is such a great educator. (and editor!) I was absolutely not intending to watch the entire episode immediately, in one sitting. But the hook of it grabbed me and the presentation was so well done that I just never wanted to stop. I am now quite late for dinner! 100% my favorite Modern Rogue episode since Jason left.

[@_HippieThugg_]

That hurts a little. I did not know he left.

[@regirantanen]

Why did he leave?

[@O_violet]

That song is actually really good though, I want a full version!

[@milessmith6611]

Wow, as a music major I didn’t expect to learn so much! I’ll definitely be watching the lecture again to really get a grasp on phase cancelling.

[@Drakonak]

This video is a return to greatness. Good job guys

[@GityaLIVEdnb]

OG rogue vibes. enjoyed every bit

[@ModernRogue]

YAY! This one was a complete treat. -Brian

[@ColtWadstein]

The was the most entertaining educational video I have seen in quite some time. Maybe ever. Absolutely brilliant!

[@TeflonTrout79]

Loved this episode soooooo much! Need more Professor Fessor in future episodes!

[@ModernRogue]

Agreed

[@riuphane]

An example of why Brandt is my favorite...

[@MaoMaster69]

oh my god, this is so funny A well crafted viewing experience, Modern Rogue!

[@ModernRogue]

Yay!!

[@jordansean18]

Magic Eye-ifying the "spot the differences" puzzles is a great trick 😅

[@inthefade]

Ever since I was a kid and I learned how stereograms work I've been doing this trick. I've freaked people out by discerning subtle differences in what look like identical images. I'm a visual artist too so I just let them think I'm a genius.

[@luv-lost]

Brandt would make an amazing teacher. When I first started I felt like I was just opening up Ms paint that made sounds. I believe the first program I used was a midi synth of some type. I would just make the goofiest stuff ever.

[@kirkskywalker1701]

This had the vibes I've been missing from the MR. Brandt and Brian were amazing as ever! Now I want a full release for Professor Fessor's Cool Game!

[@joshuab4586]

Imagine using Morse code in the drums on a song to diss Drake, gotta love MetroBoomin

[@IsYitzach]

That hiding business is how the transmit stereo audio over FM. They transmit (L+R)/2 and (L-R)/2. They do this to be backwards compatible with mono-channel radios. And when the quality of the signal degrades, they make sure that the mono-channel is the last thing to go. But Brandt was hiding his message in (L-R)/2.

[@maxshields1055]

Cool premise and great way to sneak some good learning in.

[@macaddict89]

I really enjoyed Prof. Fessor. I hope he gets his doctorate

[@ModernRogue]

[@Chris_Hetherington]

The whiteboard got my attention... I wonder if that's just random notes or something to pay attention to for future videos?

[@iflyjet]

Ok, that was awesome. I may be biased, but even so. Gold star on your progress report for sure. :)

[@RobertT1999]

Something cool you can do with sound inversion is take some continuous audio, like a song, mix it as mono except still keep two stereo channels, invert either the left or right channel. Then add another piece of audio into it except make it really quiet so you can't hear it over the music. If you export that, it'll play as is. If you then force your audio setup to play sound as mono, you won't hear the music and only the quieter additional track. Edit - Note to self: Never make a comment on a video till you've watched the whole video first... (I made this comment some time after Brian first saw the inversion effect)

[@kennethmoyers1396]

If he really spent that long in proximity to *The* *Changeling* he'd be displaying symptoms of late stage Operator Sickness by now

[@technoch33s3c4k3]

As a audio engineer with a msc in music production. I loved this.

[@ModernRogue]

YAY!!! Unexpected kindness in the KZbin Comments!! Thanks

[@whyukraine]

You should consider starting a podcast with your friend Joseph and his friend Xavier Perry Yance. You could call it, Joe, Rogue, & X. Perry Yance.

[@HawkWorley]

This was a spectacular episode.

[@ModernRogue]

Right??

[@jnsdroid]

I would have loved to see the first 4 minutes of this come out a week ago, or yesterday, or at the same time but as a separate video ... maybe with some extra explanations / gamification Still record it all at once though, that way the audience can "participate" but Brian doesn't have to worry about avoiding spoilers. It would have been fun to compare and contrast my attempts to what Brian does

[@jordansean18]

When I was a kid I realized I could cancel out the Left and Right channels from my headphones by shorting the plug (only having it partially plugged in) Was always fun to see a favorite song isolated down to just the diffs between channels

[@KarstenJohansson]

It's how I used to make jam tracks. If you reverse + and - for one of the two stereo channels, and then play them as mono, anything in the center gets cancelled out. That is typically lead vocals and lead guitar, while everything else tends to be panned around and therefore not cancelled out. It's an interesting way to hear instruments that are buried real deep in the mix, too.

[@ben_jammin242]

Loving the Futurama references

[@armorhide406]

Brandt is the true MVP

[@Gamah1991]

9:29 Good news everyone!

[@WilliamCadiz]

Who else was hoping to hear a TMZ Cobra message from Jason?

[@PontiacRob]

Prof. Fessor needs his own show side show

[@ModernRogue]

Agreed.0

[@d-m.n_--2]

So why do I watch these videos instantly when I put all the other videos on my "watch later" list? Because the info from these are things I can use right away. I would love to know how to be a gentleman that orders his drinks in the most suave way, but the last time I went to a bar was before covid. However making fun cryptograms for the kids/dnd players/cooky friends I have in my life is something I can start tonight and finish tomorrow. I love this and just wish Utube had notified me the day of like it claims to, but it says this was made available 5 days ago.

[@Bozebo]

Make a lecture about FFT please, the world needs a perfect one still :)

[@overtonesnteatime198]

So good! Thanks guys.

[@MrSchism]

I'd legitimately sit for this as a class.

[@ModernRogue]

It was a BLAST. -Brian

[@ben_jammin242]

[@ModernRogue]

Right??

[@ChrisWCorp]

This is a fantastic episode and learning session! We definitely need some more of these for other topics.

[@ModernRogue]

Agreed!

[@vintageyamahasquid]

I actually learned something today and was entertained. 10/10

[@ModernRogue]

Yay!!

[@lonedog80]

8:57 is me just about once a week trying to fix a photo

[@randalalansmith9883]

Oh, I thought this was going to be Electronic Voice Phenomena. Not intentionally encoded messages, but accidental noises for your pareidolia.

[@TheAgentofEnigmas]

3:34 The amount of joy on Brian's face when he found out there is a hidden message is perfection.

[@reggieroyster6463]

I hope mr. Brushwood knows that I tried to do the human jack-o’-lantern which is a trick that I have tried thousands of times and have done a successfully have finally burned some of my mustache hairs from it. Shout out to scam school from the revision three days. I’m an old man in his late 20s much love.(I don’t believe in punctuation.)

[@ModernRogue]

You’re not a real fire eater until you get burned

[@kilobytedemon]

Idk if y’all know how excited I am that you’re making long form videos again

[@drew535]

Nothing to do with the video i just found a copy of brian brushwoods bizzare magic in the garbage with a booking phone number on the back and i thought it was really neat and also hilarious

[@ModernRogue]

I liked most of that sentence. In the garbage tho?

[@drew535]

@ModernRogue hey man it IS a VHS in 2024, and dw I saved it

[@drew535]

@ModernRogue also the university campus it belonged to is shutting down sadly, so many magic tapes ended up in the bi

[@ModernRogue]

aha! the tape! I'm actually digitizing a bunch of that stuff... some good memorabilia from that era!

[@drew535]

@ModernRogue that's rad, if you needed the tape for archival purposes I'd happily send this one, but it doesn't sound like lost media

@30:33 how to be eaten by a woman by the glitch mob. its only one second but my brain's version of shazam locked onto it.

I can totally hear it now!! rad! dang I gotta go listen to that album again.

[@xxjokesterxx]

You don’t hear with the “hairs” in your ears! You hear with the tympanic membrane, aka the ear drum.

[@ModernRogue]

Per Chatty G: “The tiny hairs in your ears, called *stereocilia*, play a crucial role in hearing. They’re located in the cochlea, a fluid-filled part of the inner ear. When sound waves enter the ear, they create vibrations that cause the fluid in the cochlea to ripple. This movement bends the stereocilia, which are attached to hair cells. As these hair cells bend, they trigger an electrical signal that’s sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. The brain then interprets these signals as sound. Damage to these hair cells, often from loud noise exposure or aging, can lead to hearing loss, as these cells don’t regenerate. **Truth Confidence: 10/10**”

[@CallousCoder]

Yawn..🥱 this was like being back in EE class 😂literally had a teacher like that.

[@ModernRogue]

Then you had a very cool teacher.

I wonder if this is what those "subliminal" audio cassettes from days gone by did to embed their aphorisms.

Is this live?

Thinking of 1997's The Saint.

why is this video 1920x960 instead of 1920x1080?
