ADAM Audio was founded in March 1999 in Berlin. Since then the company has been developing, manufacturing and distributing loudspeakers in the field of Professional Audio.
The development of the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter based on the 1960’s invention of the Air Motion Transformer by Oskar Heil was largely responsible for the company’s founding. Producing sound not with a piston-like diaphragm as is done in most of the loudspeakers that are on the market, but using a pleated diaphragm that is capable of moving the air 4 times faster than the folds themselves are moving was the appealing idea behind it all. The achieved results were intriguing and gave ample reason for moving forward.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

We'll note that and make some more! Thanks for watching

[@MayotheMaker]

Man I just have to say. Listening to that "raw " vocal on my cell phone speakers she gave me insane chills. Super talented vocal. Conveys emotion extremely well

[@stavzee]

He's talking the language of Gods!!! WE ARE GODS, LET NO ONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!!! WITHOUT MUSIC PRODUCERS OR AUDIO ENGINEERS, ARTISTS WOULD NEVER GO BIG!!! HAHAH!!!

[@paulrosebush9137]

Without talented artists, the rest of the industry does not matter.

[@mostlyharmless88]

This was dope

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thanks! 😎🤩

[@JamesRone]

What's the purpose of adding EQ to the acoustic guitar again after you've added compression? Is it because the compression changes the signal enough that it needs to be re-adjusted? Is it because each of your EQ plug-ins does something slightly different?

[@m.i.stapes]

This is a really excellent video!!! Thanks y'all!

[@tegaethan]

How good of a mix can I get from recording with an SM58? 👉🏾👈🏾

[@jannisbmrt]

Depends on your mixing skills, that's a good microphone :)

[@greydavies2101]

Real pros work with lava lamps

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Indeed they do!

[@JohnSk82]

I didn't know that young King Charles is doing Mixing tutorials which are THAT useful and precise hah (great video mate thanks)

[@ekredel]

what exactly is the 1176 at 8:40 doing? the GR measurement pin is completely still, it is not compressing anything? what am I not getting here?

[@ekredel]

I just realized the distressor is not compressing either. you are just making it louder with gain compensation so it seems to sound better, but they both are not compressing, not even 1 dB. Again, what am I not getting here?

[@TheDistanceDuo]

This was enormously helpful... thank you! We do a lot of pre fx volume automation on our vocals as a fist step. Is this technically the same as clip gain? We're using Reaper, if that matters :) Consider us your latest subs :) xx

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

So good to hear that! Thank you for watching 👍

[@corinasucre]

This is just amazing! Thank you!

[@FrancoBMusica]

Good tutorial! + sub

[@captainchucke5515]

"You guys know how a DSer works" NO I DO NOT I'M HERE TO LEARN PLEASE TELL ME I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @captainchucke5515! A De-esser is a tool, that controls harsh and unpleasant frequencies in the higher frequency range, caused by the pronunciation of sybillants for example. It is basically a dynamic compressor, treating only a specific frequency band in which that sound is taking place, to make the listening experience more pleasant. You can find many useful tutorials online explaining their use in detail :) Thanks for tuning in and greetings from Berlin!

Stop with the side-views!! I don't wanna look in your ear!
