I learned how to make beats on you tube and today am selling beats on Spotify and doing DJ gigs all under 6months .
Also connections are very important.
Keep good connections and relationships with people . I can say my relationships helped me achieve a lot in a short time
I really appreciate this video! Life just made so much more sense being that I'm just learning this audio engineering stuff
Thank you! I'm so happy to be apart of your journey!!!
i've watched hundreds of videos out there on a wide variety of topics on sound engineering & this is definitely up there, if not the best. just in terms of structure, simplicity, fundamentals, & positive engagement. i was watching this video & even surprised myself half way through like "damn, this thing is going by fast." or at least it felt that way because it was well put and FUN.
this industry SHOULD go down for all the things it exploits in the musician as an individual. all the superficiality -- our process, learning & success SHOULD be fun. GREAT idea with the 808 example ! very interesting idea to add at the end of this ; something relatable that most listeners know : 808.
liked * subscribed ! !
I don't even know where to begin!! Thank you so much for watching and I hope your progression is moving forward in the right direction! The goal was; Information - valuable at all levels of expertise - explained simple - and then, try to be entertaining for the internet... lolol. But this comment let's me know that we see eye to eye on things! Hopefully I will have gotten to know you in one of the live streams by now? Streaming on Twitch and starting TH-cam streams soon!
The best teacher ever. My guy, you know what you are teaching. I am impressed. Take money💰💰
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I KNEW I needed to know the basic knowledge and specifically "freq" and what part it played I what I hear! Im looking forward to getting the rest of the team to START here! Lol can't wait to check out the rest! And YES I'm now a subscriber!
Thank you for this!! I'll learn more for my vocal production !!
Great info thank you!!
This is really interresting from beginning to end, and initially I thought it was gonna be a been there done that scenario when I first looked at it, especially when cycles per second = hz, but this was well explained that I actually learned something on the specifications of sound in general. I kind of find it funny how the 808 kick was just a regular kick + a side chained ~57hz (and I had to get my headphones as I was on my phone while watching this), and how it was an accident to begin with.
Haha - I got my headphones out too!
Yes! Headphones out!! Haha
This is super interesting, thank you!
Plus, I love your personality🌼
I'm curious about music recording, have been for ages. Watched this to get a better understanding of engineering. WOW, talk about in depth and thorough and I'm not even done with the whole video. I'm subscribing. 👍👍
This comment right here is exactly why I'm doing this! I'm so happy I'm able to inspire you and am curious if you've made any moves in the 2 months since? :) For real though, thank you and hope you enjoy everything I put out!
Thank you you're awesome
Naaaah, you're awesome!! Thank you for watching. Have you been trying to msg me lately?
Nice information sir
Thanks sir.👍👍👍
Thank you very much! My desire is to go deeper and deeper into music production! Very clear and understandable for a nonrecording studio guy!
Wow. I love the way you are putting it when explaining
Thank you Frank! That's truly a great compliment and I'm glad you click with it... All I can do is slow clap for this comment ... lol, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video and yes I did subscribe to your channel. I volunteered at my Synagogue to work the sound booth and immediately realized I needed a basic knowledge of the terminology used. I am definitely going to continue my education through this subscription. You are appreciated!
Nice!
Got a fan ✌🏼
Ive been really considering both audio engineering and music production and your video just got me way more excited, and chefs kiss on that tree in the woods example. Well done, thank you!
most underrated you tube channel
Woah... Did this slip under my radar as the most underrated comment??? That's what I'm talking about! lol, thanks for the support!!!
Awesome vid. May you prosper on yt. Keep it up. I have subbed.
Thank you Mr. A. I hope to prosper as well. Enjoy the new and upcoming videos, and thanks again!
Thank you so much. This is really helpful. The way you explained things is really good.
You are better at explaining things than any video ive come across, thank you!
TOTALLY AGREE!
I'm on a roll - Watching ALL of your videos. Great content for a musician! Even if you're not a musician, very interesting stuff!
Thanks!!! I'll do my best to keep up with the content here!
I am new to music production, so this video really helps a lot! Great job and thank you so much 🙏💯
This is great. I'm cramming for a test but I've never been in a school or a strange studio. Wish me luck! 🥸
THANK YOU, only video that explains it from the roots
Thank you so much.im learning production in my spare time and cant wait to apply this to what I have cooking in the lab.amazing what we can learn from each other these days compared to when I was a kid without internet.looking forward to watching your other videos.just what I was looking for and so much more.thanks
The way the internet has changed and continues to change the way we learn and receive information is amazing!! Thank you so much for watching and feel free to come hang out on a live stream some day if you have any questions. I mean, it's not as entertaining as the full Britannica set was... But I do what I can... =)
That little noise jam at the end was dope
As a fellow audio engineer I offer the professional recommendation that you lower the background music a couple db's :P
Agree 100%. I'd go as far as to say bring the music out completely when you start diving into the instruction. It adds nothing being there.
Yes, the video was made in simpler times, and was the first of many. I knew I needed to start putting out videos and improve from there, or else my perfectionism would never allow it...lol. Thank you for the comment though, at least I know people are listening right?? (p.s. We can weed out the ones who pressed skip and aren't looking for the information, right?)
@@ChuckWasHere This could be one of the better pieces of constructive criticism on this! Thank you Chuck! This was my first video, so I was able to learn from it. But considering this, you're absolutely right... Nothing with a rhythm for sure. Thanks again for watching!
I think he means dBs! 😅
I enjoyed your video, I had a fun experience learning from you!
Yeah you broke this down really well in a way that was easy to understand
Liked and Subbed immediately after you gave me a clear understanding of what sound is. This is going to be fun! 😁
Great Video! Thank you for making and sharing 👏🏼🎛🎚🎶
Cheers, mate, very good to learn something new and helpful, learnt a lot, hope you've got more stuff like this, going to check your channel and see what else there is to learn from you. Thanks a lot for sharing :)
Cool intro..brings physics to life!
Yes! Exactly! I'm trying to bring everything to life... lol
Bro you’re a natural to teach💪🏾
very well done ---- organized and articulate ---
Yes, very organized
Hey there, love the video and it helped out a lot.
Maybe as a tip, bring the background music volume a tad bit down, it'll be easier to focus on what you're saying
Hey! Thank you and yeah, the overall compression reeeally brought the background music up. I appreciate you letting me know though!! When people leave comments to themselves - No one get's to learn from the experience! So look!! We both get to learn, teach, and win! Hahaha! I'm very glad to help and hope to help more in future videos (With the music a tad bit lower, of course) :)
Thankyou sir From INDIA
Thank you so much for watching!
Really great presentation and easy to follow for a dense dude like me 😅. This is life changing.
Maaan, no worries! Dense dudes do need to learn too right!? Thank you for watching, and that whole "life changing" thing? Oh it's just getting started... Let's go!!
This video is the greatest wow! Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed and look forward to bringing you quality information throughout the years to come. Thanks for watching!
Thank you DZ for this wonderfull session..I will be daily visitor to this channel now.. love from India
Thank you so much!! I am glad you are learning and having a fun time with me. Keep coming back and I look forward to seeing you!
sure i will
Such a great tutorial bro, thank you 🙏🏼
this is a great video...your flow very nicely thanks
Great video bro. I subscribed and liked and can’t wait to watch more. Love the explanations and examples too lol makes me understand better how lows and highs work. Thanks bro for video and keep up the hard work thanks for the knowledge most of all. Priceless 👍
Thank you!! The priceless feeling is 100% mutual with comments like that. We both get blessed with a little gem, haha! Thanks for watching!
Thankyou very much for making this video I appreciate the side at the end especially
Yes! Thank you for watching! ... and watching long enough to find some hidden gems! 😉
Thank you bro had to subscribe as I’m just getting into mixing
Great intro. Thank you
Thanks Robert! You're welcome!
Thank you very much for taking your time and explaining the terminologies for people like me Who is a beginner I appreciate it.
Amazzing video. THanks so much for this.
Thank you! Subscribed!
This was great. I've been working to learn how to record good spoken word audio, and I figured it was best if I went aaallll the way back to the basics and learn up to what I need to record good voice-overs.
wow, its really helpfull. I hope you will do more video like this.
Thank you! There are more videos recently posted, but many more to come. I'm not stopping until there's pretty much an entire college degree's worth of material for everyone to learn! Thanks again for watching!!
Great video. Please make more.
More is happening now and much more coming! Feel free to let me know of any topics you'd like to get in depth with!! Thank you for watching
if you want a little better experience with the audio/voice:
Windows: right-click on sound-->Sounds-->Playback--> right click on audio device --> properties-->tab enhancement --> tick loudness EQ & go to settings put the slider -1 long
its going to compress alittle bit but u can hear the voice better and the background music is in the background now
If you have a Mac, just tell your wife's boyfriend to go harder or turn your vibrator up.

:)
Thank you ! Amazing video 🌟
Thanks so much for watching! More to come very soon!!
I find this really interesting
Thank you Lisa! There is a lot of interesting things about this world. Lot's more interesting stuff to come!!
Great video!
Great video thanks
Thanks man!
thank you for infomation
Of course! You're welcome, and thank you for watching
Thanks a lot for this video!!!!! I just studied about sound in my school and it's the most interesting thing I ever learned....so I want to deep dive into sound and I hope I'll be able to make a carrier out of it....your video made these basic concepts a lot clear to me....I'll look forward to more of your videos...once again thanks
I just recently found your channel and really like what you have here so far. Are you still making videos anywhere? I would love to see more.
Glad you found me! Yes, I have tons of videos incoming! Stay tuned, because I do plan to put out a LOT this summer. Thank you for watching!!
This guy is good!
Aaayyyeee! I do what I can... lol. Thanks for your support!!
Well done bro
Don Z!!!
Ston N??? lol
Hi sir! I want to know how to edit a sound but i dont know the paramaters for it..can you help me?
people really do sleep on the basics
Yes they do! Everyone goes straight to the "how to mix like a pro" type videos... lol Thanks for watching!
if been in car audio since the late 80s as a child.... This comments a fact
@@DonZiglioni 😂😅 😅
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to see it, did the tree exist in the first place?
Like this take

Real cool information! Thanks
However, for a video about audio engineering your bg music is a little louder than your own naration, which makes it harder to hear your voice
Thank you thank you....God bless
You're Welcome! Thank you for watching!!
very, very well done.
Thanks you got my attention right away. Was there a 2nd , 3rd part for this video? Thx much. Liked & Subd to you. God bless
10:08 did you really lower the pitch in your voice as you reduced the frequency or is my hearing way off??😅😂😂
Loved your video man!
As someone who is hoping to start audio engineering in the near future , would you recommend paying for a course and getting a qualification or just self educate and attempt to find an apprenticeship or internship where I can learn first hand ?
Learning first hand from someone who knows what they are doing(and in the genre or style you'd like to develop) is above everything. But the schools have their benefits too!! It's a tough question to answer, but when the live stream on Twitch comes back next month, I can go into a TON of details and explanations. Great question!!!
@@DonZiglioni thanks mate appreciate it !
amazinggg stuff
Please upload more lessons 🙏
@Don Ziglioni You should really correct the incorrect picture of a sine wave 🙂
👍👍Where is day 2 ?.
I was looking for that basic + how well ya explained 8t... made it more potent.
Love BHARAT I e INDIA 🙏.
very informative
Thanks for watching!
so when we lower the pitch in a DAW, we're "slowing down" the waves that make up the sound?
Well... I don't really want to say anything technical about that to mess up your understanding of it. Cause yeah, you can look at it that way! Just know, more specifically as you vision this - The **cycles per second (frequency)** is slowing down. NOT the speed of sound slowing down... lol. Like I said... I think you understand it the way you need it! - Venture into in depth details at your own risk!! Probably best under my supervision, on this channel. lol
Wildlife hears all the sounds when a tree falls, you turned me off instantly.
Thank you for the feedback, so please allow me to help; because that is not true and you missed the point entirely. Please watch that part again and maybe you will understand better! Also, 100% refer to :44 seconds before posting things like this online. Thanks again!
THANK YOUU
YOU'RE WELCOME!! Haha. Seriously, thanks for watching!
tnx tnx tnxxxxx ur da besttt I just want to learn what instrument should be in 430hz in music and why is 440hz is harmful and how to change it and... plzz
In Theory, any instrument can be tuned to whatever you want! The 440 argument is mostly myth and conspiracy that really just depends on what YOU believe. I believe sound and music has that power... but what is right vs. Wrong, I can't say. Rick Beato has a cool video about it. I will share the link. I'd say, experiment, figure out your beliefs, and see what makes YOU feel comfortable!

i am a new learner. i am being covertly acousticaly harrassed and its psychological torture.
I have recordings that i have been doing to prove that these are not audible hallucinations. I have caught some unkown voices and i rules out that it is real by using a spectrogram. I visually seen the frequency and the decibel meter also shown there was something there. I am trying to figure out how they could hide behind frequencies and expose them to prove that my audible hallucinations were just harrassment and torture by actual people abusing using their knowledge.
Tree falls and nobody hears it analogy: If a 2-year old covers his eyes with a blanket, does that mean the sun isn't shining?
Ha! Not really the same thing once you know the answer... lol 😆
Paesano sound engineering
This is an awesome video! Really clear information. I learned a lot. Thank you! 😊
Thanks! I try to keep things simple and easy to understand... Happy you were able to learn from this! Much more to come soon 😄
@@DonZiglioni Awesome! I look forward to it 😊 I'm just starting out learning about audio engineering so I can produce my own music in future. Currently in the process of gathering as much information as I can
@@australianwhispers Come check out the live mixing on Twitch.TV/DonZiglioni - Almost every night! Very informative and amazing community!
@@DonZiglioni Sounds cool. If I have time, I'll check it out 😊
It’s crazy how a shotgun blast is louder than a fighter jet launch and 20 dBs behind a rocket launch
I know right! I guess an explosion is an explosion?? Lol
Hai... Can you plz explain in eq the slider
Happy to help! Which slider are you talking about?
After all these years I finally found why people cup the mic
Bro i want more video on audio engineering
“Nice and low yeaahhh” lol
Ooohhhh yeeeaaaahhhh!
Hi, I'm Joseph from Tanzania
Great Video, learned a lot!!!
Yes! That's awesome! I'm happy to hear that... 😀
Damn, for a video about audio, you didnt think to consider that the background music was a bit too high?
Thank you for your feedback. The video was made during simpler times sir... Everything is clear and audible - So the information is there for those who want it. I will take this in consideration for future videos.
Not a second i felt boring,it was excited af
Im goign to college for new media and communications can anyone help? Liek what videos should i be watching?
It all depends on what you're trying to specifically learn at any certain point in your studies... but youtube is filled with them. If there is anything specific you'd like a video for, let me know!!! I can make one!
@@DonZiglioni Wow great bro yea I would love that, could u do something about like mixing and/or recording
2:19 "If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, therefore there is no brain to perceive it, then it does not make a sound."
so this means, that if a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, see it, taste it or touch it, therefore there is no brain to perceive it, then it does not make a sound, picture, smell, taste or a thing to touch. It means if there is no you, I or anyone, there's no earth. So is it means the entire world is born in our mind?
#off_topic haha 😂
You’re right ☺️ I’m agree life is an illusion
The brain’s interpretation of auditory stimulation is hearing not sound
