  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
  • In honor of the fourth-ever Tiny Desk Contest, our intrepid Tiny Desk audio engineer Josh Rogosin goes deep on recording drums. The Contest closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on March 25, 2018, so get those last-minute submissions in to npr.org/tinydeskcontest!
    Remember: You don't need to have fancy audio equipment to make a great entry - just be yourself, and let your music shine through. Good luck!

      Wow! great info but are the instruments and microphones connected to an interface and audio software. How do we connect the microphones and where do we connect? Is it connected to a mixture, interface and audio software. What audio software do you use? would be great if you could share with us the idea for recoding the full song. Are these all played live or first you record an audio and then later sync it with the video?

  • @Afroninja10000
    @Afroninja10000 4 ปีที่แล้ว +276

    Fun fact: Phase cancellation (or destructive interference) is used on purpose for noise cancellation headphones. Noise-cancelling headphones actively listen to the noise around you and plays it back "real-time" 180 degrees out of phase which makes the high part of the waveform cancel with the low part of the waveform, so it zeros out. Not that anyone asked...someone might like this haha. I wouldn't have thought of it in this context and how it produces great sound. So cool.

    • @gitsurfer27
      @gitsurfer27 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thats fascinating i remember seeing something like that on Mark Robers channel. Sound acts in a very bizarre but incredibly interesting way....have you seen cymatics? Where they put sand on a plate and pump certain frequencies through it, and the sand forms geometric patterns due the the "shape" of the sound?

    • @jacdenn8789
      @jacdenn8789 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ether5431 perfect phase cancellation will result in zero sound. So since we are bringing in the 180 degree phase shift of outside noise signal, it will result in zero sound( or volume) of the outside noises due to phase cancellation. Whereas we can hear the thing we played( music,etc) properly without any problem with the outside noises cancelled out.

    just an idea how to make these tutorials even more helpful: If you play the same groove every time it's much easier to actually hear the differences between the recording methods :)
    Else you might be fooled by the groove or the style of playing. For me the first Take with one mic sounded the best, but thats probs because I liked the groove the most :)
