As something of an audio tech enthusiast myself, I would never want to touch anything more complicated than my setup, which is basically just a receiver, a digital splitter, a couple of DACs, most of which are followed by analogue splitters, some of them going through a pre-amp, and then a bunch of output devices. Since the cables are hidden from sight, I always spend an hour figuring out what's plugged into what and why I can't hear anything, only to realize the source wasn't set correctly or there's nothing playing in the first place.

The most hardcore stuff was when I had to work on a 20y.o. studio-van with a built-in analog studio and I had to patch in somehow 2 radio mics, a mono return for the speakers and intercom into the radio return, so I literally had to hijack the pre-existing patch to get it all working.

The circle of life!

It’s even better when it’s live. Admittedly I’ve never used a console this big, but in my limited hobby experience I preferred signal paths on analog equipment, it felt more obvious and transparent than a computer hopefully doing what you think you told it to.

I fully expected this to be the best Rickroll i‘ve ever heard. Nontheless amazing video

Finally youtube reccomends me something actually good! I'm not even an audio engineer but this is exactly how it feels debugging code lol

this makes me want to be a sound engineer even more

"This is my Major" My Condolence to all you sound engineers.

although i only work on a daw, this is the most entertaining thing ive ever seen with analog controls

Anyone other sound engineers out there triggered by the fact he used red for the left channel and blue for the right channel? 😰

2:42 That was CLEANEST and nicest sounding "SHIT!!!" I've ever heard in my life due to the physics of the room. 🤣

As a programmer, I can also relate to this sometimes

This video means so much to me. It's been around 18 years since I had the pleasure of using a patch bay (18 years old at the time). Thank you for reminding me that I have retained such important and fundamental knowledge of audio engineering :)

feels like I'm back at uni trying to figure out why there is no sound coming out of the speakers , i miss those days

Him losing his cool is so funny, “…and uhh, *FUCK* oh um and..”💀

Funnily enough even starting a Boeing 737's engines from dark is actually easier.

As someone currently studying audio engineering, I’m both glad and worried to see working on a console is hard for everyone… My professor did a great job of explaining it, yet I have a love-hate relationship with them. Never really know what I’m doing, I just eventually get the sound I’m looking for. 😅

As someone that does live sound on digital boards and does custom patching, This is scarily accurate.

This is literally what my grandma thinks I do when I fix her HDMI output

Mechanical Engineer has entered that chat.

the panic was real😂

My respect for audio engineers after that video skyrocketed

Imagine if this was a pilot working their instrument. 💀

A little funny story. Once I was working at Philharmonic, and there were a symphonic orchestra there on stage, the audio engineer had to put microphones over the musicians, and the one particular contrabass party (about 5 people) sounded not good enough for the conductor in the dinamics on stage, so he walked around and asked the audio engineer to turn on or down the volume for the bass party, there were only one microphone over these 5 guys with contrabasses but the conductor asked to do something with the volume of the EACH bass player, audio guy told conductor that he put only one microphone over 5 bass guys and that he, the conductor have to ask bass players to be louder or quieter instead, because, obviously he can't control the volume of them individually having only one mic over them, on that conductor replied - You're a professional musical "engineer", please, do something, act professionally at least! We are professionals here, classical, I have the best ear, so I know you can do a better. So, he did 😂. He literally turned off the microphone over the 5 guys. The conductor kept on walking and giving orders on which bass guy microphone should be louder or quiter, audio guy just said yes to everything but he literally didn't touch anything on the board but his coffee, he just acted what the conductor ordered, literally as asked 😂 and after like 60+ minutes of "tuning" the bass section, the conductor came to the audio engineer and said that he was happy to work with him, but only when he started to do what he asked him to do 😂 and he wondered why did he resist to do what he asked him at the beginning? 😂 Audio guy replied in the conductor fashion - Well, I had to find my muse and that one time when you ordered to me to make the 3rd guy louder it hit me right 😂 I kid you not, the conductor's face lightened up with ego fillings 😂😂😂😂 audio dude literally did nothing, turned off mic and got praised for it! What a pro! 😂 Just act like a pro and they will believe you are! I always laugh when I see this audio guy 😁 he always tell similar stories of the guys he worked with, he is a gem to work with.

I feel this so much... Everything that's involved in recording music feels like this to me. Sucks ass badly. Why does it have to be so complicated??? I really wonder why f.e. there's no complete intuitive DAW (Studio one is very close) .. functions that are so hidden, or unobvious....aaaargh

Feels good to master a daw tho can’t lie. Try making a UI which is easy on the eye, intuitive and deep. Best I can think of is octamed v4. All on one screen, no menu diving. VERY limited tho in other ways tho. Best to output to a mixer and run effects on there. Been fucking around with it recently nd defo been a learning curve lol

Keep at it bro. Signal flow, signal flow, signal flow! As an audio school grad myself, I can relate lol. Study those signal flow diagrams until you can do it in your sleep. Love it!

I appreciate you making me feel a little more sane

i remember going through all this years ago brings me back

this was my major when i started college. they let me skip a class because i did so well in an online class where i learned about sound physics and just threw me in with zero experience in tech and i didn't even know what garageband was and honestly i had so much anxiety after i had to live broadcast a concert alone (i ended up making my professor drive from his house to come help me) that i just stopped going to classes after that. at least i got back to school eventually and then got a degree in philosophy because why not do something easy

This is exactly why I tried to hire a mixing engineer for my album WIP. When I had everything like I wanted it, I couldn’t navigate my own computer well enough to get the files shipped off, and I somehow managed to corrupt every single bit of my progress. I haven’t picked my guitar up in several months as a direct result.

I could literally watch this as a series "A series of unfortunate events in the life of a sound engineer"

This is genuinely very real and an exact replication of my regular life surrounding music

There easiest ways is to just mic up the CD. Honest. I've been a sound engineer for over 20 years. 😂

THE FADERS, YOU GOTTA TURN UP THE RIGHT FADERS!!!! god, i'm not even a sound engineer and i was screaming at the screen like come ONNNNN!!!!! hope that you've been getting better at this since this video! it doesn't look easy!

It's funny, since signal flow can be rather complicated, you can screw up one thing and wonder why you're not getting signal. Typically the reason is also the dumbest one, e.g. forgetting to push up the faders in my case 😂 You have no idea how many times me or one of classmates would spend countless minutes trying to figure out why we weren't getting signal, only to find out someone left a solo button on....

pov: you just learned how to swear

life has been made so much easier with the advent of reasonably sized sound boards

gave me flashbacks to my college days. the first time sitting in front of one of those enormous mixers is quite a feeling. they were just transitioning to pro tools but the teacher hadn't learned it yet so (to my annoyance at the time) I had to learn on reel to reel and ADAT. I'm kinda proud of that now because seems like no one works with tape much anymore ..for good reason you might argue but I think there's still some different kind of magic in all analogue setups

I love how he decide to plug in channel 20 and 21, and says 21 and 22 after a sec, remind me for my bad memories

This is like the guy who chops up his fl studio file to make it look like his 10 track song looks like 40

This feels uncomfortable just by being so relatable hahah

I like how these rooms always looks like a nuclear power plants control room

"Come on guys, t's not rocket science" "Come on guys, it's not audio engineering"

It's so funny how explosive his curses are over the smallest button presses

As a sound engineer, I felt that so much.

Wow, I didn't expect to see the old Durgin Hall studio scrolling through KZread! I spent many late nights in that room about 10 years ago. I'm glad to see it's still terrorizing students all the same lol

Yeup I tried to spend as much time as possible in that studio during my last year. Even when I wasn't supposed to be in there 😅

I'm currently studying sound engineering, so this is really relatable at the moment. Nice desk.

even included the trackball mouse, perfect 10/10

And here is me. Simply pushing 3 buttons to convert digital to vinyl. This video amplifies my anxiety for making any kind of mastering to sount so itsounds better on vinyl. God bless you king.

You have visually shown all the trials and tribulations ive gone through programming microcontrollers down to the sounds made

you know that meme where the first slide says “when you do something alone” absolutely perfect, then in the second slide it says “when people are watching” and then absolutely tumble

flashbacks to undergrad, learning to engineer on an api board like this. this is so fucking real

the youtube algorithm blessed me with this gem
