  • This video explains how sound waves work and how speakers work to reproduce sound. It includes descriptions of sound wave characteristics like:
    Frequency
    Wavelength
    Amplitude
    Envelope
    Harmonic Content

    You had my full attention for 16 minutes. I came in knowing very little to having both a better understanding of the topic & an appreciation of your fantastic teaching style.
    Each part you explained provided a depth of information I had hoped for & you delivered. I’m anticipating & intrigued to listen to not only part two, but also any other instructional videos you have available.

You kept me to watch the whole 16-minute video! You explain incredibly fantastic. I don't know you but you should be a great teacher. Thanks for this video.

    Excellent video tutorial! You simplified a rather complex subject using real/actual examples to illustrate and “amplify” your concepts. You’re a gifted teacher! Like they say - you brought the cookie jar from the top shelf to the floor so everyone can partake. Thanks Adam! I appreciate your gift to us.
    Btw, if you can simplify how a compressor, gate and reverb works and how to use them effectively, I’d (& our Sunday school music and sound team) be forever grateful to you!

    • @MrMcMath
      @MrMcMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much! I have a video about how compressors work here: th-cam.com/video/SOE2XSN9gqI/w-d-xo.html
      A noise gate is pretty much the opposite of a compressor. A compressor will attenuate signal ABOVE the threshold while a gate will attenuate signal BELOW the threshold.
      Reverb is its own can of worms. How it works depends on the type: spring, plate, room reflections, etc.
      As far as using each of them effectively, it's really about understanding how they work and then TONS of practice and experimentation. Hope that helps, lmk if you have any questions.

    @Rene_Christensen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When the speaker is pushed all the way out, you have a negative pressure. The pressure is in phase with acceleration, not with displacement. This is such a common misconception, and I have explained to many a student and acoustic engineer.
