I love when people talk about synthesizers and actually explain what is happening instead of just using words like warm sounding, edgy, lush, etc. I hope to see more technical explanations from you, maybe a series about filters? Once again, very good job… Sorry about the broken English

Thank you so much for this! Took an entire graduate school course on this this semester and just now understood it for the first time thanks to you. You're an excellent teacher, can't thank you enough.

[PeteBuchwald]

Great visiual representation, and audio demonstration. Helpful and interesting! Thanks.

[CypiXmusic]

Love the technical rundown, always good!

[AnthonyCammarota]

Thoroughly explained and articulated very well. Thanks!

[drewfasa]

Best explanation I’ve seen on the topic after searching extensively. Figures it would be a Brit - God’s great communicators! Appreciate this - thanks!

Excellent vid!!! I've been a musician all my life, mostly playing stringed instruments, but love all sorts of noise makers. Perhaps the most interesting element of sound is timbre (a.k.a. "tone" in the guitar community). My approach to making sounds has always been just through experimentation with playing techniques -- physical and electronics -- that becomes a sort of "craft" (structured but non-theorized methodology, as in I remember how to "press this button and get a banana") that I can consistently rely upon for the purposes of "art" (expression of meaning through representation). I recently started messing with analog synthesizers, and trying to learn the science behind the sounds. Videos like this -- with the diagrams accompanying explanation & practical experiments with oscilloscope visualizing the sonic data -- are very helpful as I read about these concepts. Thank you for helping me learn the science, which will allow me to predict what will happen even before I even pick up an instrument!!!

Glad to see the Cool Edit Pro 2 love on that taskbar.

Fantastic video, really helpful, thank you!

[tobyzxcd]

This is such a good video- I hope there is a series :)

Best Explanation video of Ring Modulation ever. I always thought just making tremolo faster to audible level is Ring Modulation but i was wrong!! thank you for this video.

[melasonos]

Oh man, IO appreciate your work! Thank

[camerong]

This really helped me understand RM!! Thank you so much!!!

[yony_music]

This was awesome! Now I finally understand ringmodulation!

[christopher_ecclestone]

Thank you!
This is the best explanation of ring modulation I've found. It actually makes sense now!

[huntergalloway]

Man, I hope your channel blows up. You’re an incredible teacher!

BTW I’m about to pick up a Yamaha SY-77, I know the floppies often die but is there anything else crucial I should check for? I’m asking because I saw you’d recently gotten one yourself! Such an underrated board!

[gumdrp]

very nice! i understand it better than ever.

[sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Thank you SO very MUCH! I don't understand the math (yet). But knowing the general principles right now is enough to point me in the right direction.

[endorphinsmusic]

Just what I wanted to know, thanks for the clear explanation!

[astrariumrecords]

understood, thanks for making this clear
