By far the best video on this I've seen! And I watched quite a few trying to understand this 😅

[@DaveCasto]

short and sweet, clearly explained. well done.

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, David!

[@robertscottbyers5502]

Love the channel as it always has clear concise helpful information. And this was the best demo of how to properly do this I've seen. Now I'm working on increasing my speed at it! :)

[@johnmcguinn4455]

Well done. I have watched several videos on how to do this, your video is short and by far the easiest to follow.

[@redondo8095]

Thanks for going straight to the solution rather than spending a lot of time talking about problems improperly coiled cable can cause.

[@EveryNameAvailable]

Thank you for doing it in 1st person perspective. The 3rd person perspective gave me trouble while watching other videos.

[@davidhrivnak]

This is a great tip and one that everyone who works in film or audio should know! I personally find it easier to start with the end of the cable facing away from me. The end result is the same, but I find the wrist angle to be more comfortable when doing the under wraps.

[@jimmoulton9038]

It also makes the cable wrap counter clockwise. So it’s left handed.

[@davidhrivnak]

@@jimmoulton9038 Interesting! Is it left handed in a way that might be annoying or confusing to other people that end up using the cables I coiled? If so, I'm definitely going to change my technique to the traditional way.

[@Noahbusbyj]

Great video thanks this will help me pass my cinema exam!😁

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad to help, Noah. Good luck!

[@SoundSpeeds]

No. That's the school way, you need the pro way. I'll have to make a video about it.

[@killeveryvenue]

I finally get it! You’re the goat 🐐

[@rramach9091]

Props to you for the way you choreographed the video. The slow motions, pausing, captions and the voice over at the appropriate times were perfect. Also, appreciate the economy of words and the avoidance of those annoying background music. Thanks again and keep up the great work

[@victoriamasters9590]

Thank you so much for pausing and showing your hand movements, ive watched 7 videos on same topic and every last one blows through super fast while running their mouth about other crap, I appreciate you getting straight to the point!👍

[@JoscelinTrouwborst]

63 years of age, I had never heard of it. Very handy!

[@Misksound]

excellent! any other way is just blasphemy.

[@jimmoulton9038]

First, I’d like to commend you… I normally see these videos with people going counterclockwise and it drives me nuts.

[@joshuahagelstein6624]

I finally understand!

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks for watching, Josh! I’m glad to help!

[@ณัฐฎ์-ถ3ถ]

นี่คือวีดีโอสั้น 1ใน10 ที่ดีสุด 👍(สำหรับฉัน😅) คุณมันสุดยอด! 👑

[@codybroken]

This goes for cables, cords and hoses! THANK YOU!

[@MessieAs]

That's one fine explanation and demonstration. Well done!

[@q-miiproductions878]

I forgot this method from high school, so thanks!

[@JS-wo3tj]

Hardest part of the job actually haha

[@rootwordsmusic]

Hey - Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I started watching about two weeks ago - catching up on your previous posts - brushing up on what I know and gaining new knowledge. It was your analog vs digital video explanation which answered my question. You explain in a very clear and concise way that I truly appreciate. Cheers !

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks! It means a lot to hear that these videos are actually providing value for people. I appreciate your kind words! Please share videos you find helpful with others interested in audio production to help spread the word about this channel! Thanks again!

[@dylanwalkermusicc]

thank you!!!!!!

[@muhamadirwan4025]

Thank you for sharing with us.Its so helpful.From Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@AudioUniversity]

Glad to help! Thanks for watching.

[@armandbiro2954]

Hi! Not sure if anyone will see this, but is this how you're supposed to keep *all* your cables? By all, I mean all *types*. I've just bought a lav mic which obviously has a relatively short (1.2 metres) and different cable from the big audio cables that tutorials tend to show, and I'm wondering if this is how I should coil it.

[@AudioUniversity]

I tend to wrap all cables with this method, but many only use this method for longer cables, while others don’t use this method at all. It’s ultimately your decision based on your preference.

[@armandbiro2954]

@@AudioUniversity Wow, thank you so much for the quick response! The video is great as well, I didn't quite understand the technique from other tutorials, but yours made it clear as day :)

[@gurumajuindonesia]

I am using steering wheel method .. for me it;s faster

[@AdedokunAdebo]

great and informative video

[@tecunumantonatiu4484]

Million Thsnks!!

[@samliddiard]

Love your videos! Have to disagree about this method for every scenario though. On gigs cables often get chucked into a flight case. Using your method if one of the ends of the cable goes through the loop you get a very knotted cable. Maybe your way is best in a studio but on a gig ‘over over’ is definitely the way to go.

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks for your comment, Sam! I think it comes down to personal preference. I’ve seen this method used in both studio and in live production. Some argue that the over-under method is best used on longer cables. Some don’t use it at all. I think the truth is: if they’re your cables and you’ll be using them day in and day out, coil them how you’d like. If they are not your cables and you’re simply helping to break down or load out, coil them the way the owner insists, whether over-over or over-under. Thanks for watching! Any future videos you’d like to see, Sam?

[@rauladame2105]

i started using this method for garden hoses, high pressure washer lines and extention cords and I think it is a great way to the lines out where I need them. I never considered them moving around, thank you for pointing this out. I think I will add velcro where applicable to secure my lines. So much great info and insight here!

[@conanmiddleton925]

Thank you, this was the clearest instructions on how to do the over under method on youtube. I watched other videos but I couldn't get the knack, with this one I got it first time.
