Best of luck with your new treatment! I am a professor in areas related to sound, recording and mixing.

straight from the bottom of my heart: a good recovery of your health and thank you for this explanation

[@jamesgrant3343]

Crohn’s - yuk. Sorry to hear that, and hope the treatment works quickly. Thank you for sharing and reminding us ‘don’t wait too long to start getting investigated’. For anyone wondering, having cameras in your pooptubes is grim, but it’s only a short procedure and you can ask for full sedation (which is actually really nice) if you’re feeling anxious. Either way, it’s much better to know what’s happening than to try and ignore what you suspect is a creeping tide!!

[@LYFoulidis]

That’s the audience you deserve! Please do take it easy, becoming a happy old man is much more important than being productive right now.

[@milestag1857]

I'm a simple person - I come home from work, I see Dan dropped a video less than an hour ago, I instantly smile and click I'm glad you're going to be getting treatment! Keep taking it easy as much as you need, Dan. Even if you never make another video for us again, here or for a developer, know that the knowledge and entertainment you've provided have been invaluable to many, and we can always come back to what you've already made. Do what you need to for yourself, that will always come first

[@wadebay]

Thank you, Dan. I'm one of your American followers, and I very much appreciate you nipping the universal healthcare criticism in the bud. Your comment re: years of conservative rule are a warning siren for the US, as well... I'm sure you know. I'm very sorry for your diagnosis, and also very thankful to hear that you're receiving treatment. I'm a prayer guy-- so, you are in my prayers. And I hope the best for your recovery. Thank you for all you do with your channel.

[@DarthQueefious]

More to do with insane levels of immigration since the late 90's than any negligible difference in the 2 blairite parties. Housing market is similarly on its knees, as is most public services, and the return of Labour will do nothing to fix it

[@DanWorrall]

@DarthQueefious bullshit. Most of those immigrants work in the NHS, would be far worse without them. The NHS is on its knees because the Tories have been under funding it and privatising it. And you're a racist moron.

[@mr.e8432]

I really enjoyed Dan's videos and I wish him all the best, yet I also wish the political comments would stay out of my music videos. I'm also one of those American fans/viewers, and I have plenty of first-hand experience with the current "liberal administration." Yeah, I know it sounds crazy but I watch Dan for music and mixing advice. Politics invading every friggin thing I do is getting tiring.

@@DanWorrall I would call this a mic drop moment but as long as its a 58, they can survive anything.

[@Septimius]

The level of effort I'm used to from your videos made me seriously think that after you said "it would take someone a very long time to set that up", you would then say "so anyway, I did that, and here's the result". It's not like I was expecting that going into the video, but rather that you are of the calibre that I would not be surprised if you went ahead and did it to put the argument to rest. That's a testiment to your knowledge and amazing skill of educating others. Best wishes on your health. Crohn's disease is no joke, but it must be said that it has found a formidable foe.

[@CristianVargaMastervargas]

I wish you good health and speedy recovery Dan. In a sea of misinformation you're a beacon of light and good sense. All the best to you!

[@Toamserippa]

Dude I hope your new Medication catches on and you'll be enjoying life soon again. As a fellow crohns patient, I feel your pain and can absolutely relate to everything sucking hard right now. I've been hit hard by the disease in 2019 and it took about a year for me to find the right medication. Now I'm getting an infusion about every 7 weeks and am absolutely free of any pain, inflammation or any other kind of life disturbing crap (lol). Wishing you a swift recovery!

[@TheFlyMan3829]

Feel better Dan, chronic illness is no fun and unfortunate to say Im right there with ya, but doing better as of late thanks to a new medication! Im hoping you'll be joining me shortly! For a couple of years I've been watching you while I was going through some really hard times. I was using the energy and time I had spare to really learn about how to mix and everything "under the hood" thanks to some rabbit holes you sent me down! Im no where near the engineer you are, but I use a science/evidence based approach inspired by your videos in everything I do and it has yielded some really wonderful results that my local music scene has really appreciated. Im small time still but I really just wanted to take the time to thank you for what you have done for me and many others, just by simply making these videos, low effort or not. You have given an entire generation of prospective engineers and wealth of resources, knowledge, and a solid foundation for a working methodology in the studio. Greetings from the Seattle DIY Punk/Rock scene!!

[@Gigi-cz8sr]

I'd like to say how incredibly grateful I am for your persistence in uploading subtitles, even on a low-effort video. As someone with ADHD, I often find it difficult to focus and process a voice speaking for a long period without skipping back every thirty seconds to catch what I missed. Never had that problem with any of your videos. Thank you!

[@AutPen38]

+1 to this. Accurate subtitles are greatly appreciated.

[@highpeakrecordings]

I've had a medical scare this week and ended up seeing varying parts of the NHS, including scans, A&E and others. They are indeed struggling because of Tory underfunding and mismanagement, but as you probably have experienced, all the people involved are amazing. Be well Sir. And keep the videos simple and effective like this until you feel better.

[@upstatemastersofsuccess]

I am a kitchen remodeler that's always been fascinated with audio. I've never really been able to spend much time on it because it's such a confusing subject. I found your video 6 months ago. Since then I've been watching as many of your videos as I can in my spare time. All of that to say the clarity that you've brought to the subject has allowed me to enjoy seeking more information. The video where you advised people to pause their membership is the same video that I learned about KZbin memberships. I immediately signed up. On the off chance that you see this comment, I just want to say thanks. I started a podcast last month that focuses on the other businesses that I do work with. Like local plumbers, masons, electricians, etc. If it wasn't for your videos I never would have started the podcast, and the podcast would not have helped small business owners organically grow their customer base. It hasn't moved mountains, but several of them have gotten projects because their audience trusts them from hearing them talk on the podcast. I just mean this comment as an encouragement that your work has helped me and the lives of others. Cheers.

[@ThePlanarchist]

Thanks as ever for the sensible thoughtful and take care of yourself. Best wishes.

[@ootrip40]

Hi Dan. We have had less then civilised conversations, but I remained subscribed because I actually find your videos very enlighting. I know a thing or two about how health issues can affect ones life in a variety of ways. I am truly sorry about your problems and wish you all the best. I hope you feel better soon.

[@dimapoliakov]

Simple but useful videos are always welcomed! Would be good to know why 48 and not 44.1. Take care Dan.

[@DanWorrall]

A bit more wiggle room for anti aliasing filters. You could argue that 20k-24k is twice as good as 20k-22.05k, in terms of filter steepness. I'm of the opinion that we should all drop 44.1 and make 48k standard. Not going to hold my breath though. And because I have to pick one, so that's it :)

Probably more to do with the NHS being staffed by tiktok dancers than the Tories being in power mate, considering the tories are in and you are now getting great care as you say. The NHS hasn't recovered since c19.

[@DanWorrall]

My issue is with the wait, not the quality of care. Waiting lists were already soaring well before COVID. I think maybe hundreds of millions spent on fraudulent VIP lane PPE might be more salient than a few tiktok videos, no? Btw: extremely offensive comment to make to someone whose partner works for the NHS. She, and her colleagues, risked their lives during the pandemic, for ungrateful Tory bastards like you.

[@MrJC1]

​@@DanWorrallMy mother worked for the NHS as a mental health nurse. Lol. She agree's. I am not a tory. Why do you keep accusing me of being one whenever I comment? That is offensive bud, making assumptions about people. The NHS has more money than it ever has and still manages to misuse it. It is just a fact of the matter to anyone who does any serious reading about it. I am not going to lower to your level and keep this going like last time. Good grief. EDIT: And you cannot blame the tories because you had to wait. They do not personally run the hospitals / GP's. They have upper management for that. Many of them cream off the top. Direct your anger at them, not me. I too have had to wait, and most stuff gets done over the phone now. That is the doctors doing that though, not Rishi Sunak - who I cannot stand by the way. Oh and btw: I didn't have the jab, not because I am anti-vax either before you start. My life was NEVER at risk.

[@MrJC1]

I will tell you a short sort of... story, if you even care to read it. At university years back doing Computer Science, a project of ours was to try and automate aspects of the NHS so doctors didn't have to see patients in person for many aspects of their care. This I saw as a disaster and I made that clear at the time but still had to do the assignment obviously. And it was well before c19. So this has been on the cards for awhile mate. Sorry to have to say it. It will get worse too, no matter which party is at the helm. Other than that I will leave you with this, good luck with the new medication and I hope you get well soon.

[@DanWorrall]

You sound like a Tory to me. You know that 'record NHS funding' includes all those billions they gave to their mates for PPE that got burnt?

[@MrJC1]

@@DanWorrall I sound like a tory? How so? No I mean over all the years. Before they were doing it labour were and then before them tories were again. Rofl. Anyway I agree that it was a total waste of money, but labour would have done the same too. What you have to remember is there is no point being tribal about party support. Everyone in that parliament is p**sing in the same pot. The winners are always them, the losers are always us, and nothing that either side wants actually ever gets implemented unless the majority say so. Which they don't. As we see time and time again. But people have short memories it seems.
