Gearslutz Video Vault!

[Jules]

Yes folks, the eagled eyed amongst you may have noticed the new link in the forum navigation bar marked "Video Vault" inside you will find a lot of recording related videos.

Here is the link

Video Vault

I would like to get suggestions from GS members for other YouTube videos that are educational or fun and relate to audio engineering and production.

Please note!: Product promotion videos are not allowed in the vault unless they have an overriding educational aspect to them.

Please post your recording YouTube video suggestions below and I will consider add them to the Vault for everyone to enjoy!

Many thanks!

Great idea Jules! If it's okay to nominate my own educational videos, it'd be great if you'd add the following. Note these are all on Vimeo, but those can be embedded too and at higher quality than YouTube. However, all except How to Program Analog Synthsizers are on YouTube too if that matters.

How to Program Analog Synthesizers
All About Diffusion
Recorded Realism

I have a few others that are on the border between pure education and product mentions, so you decide:

Hearing is Believing
The Ultimate Home Studio

My God!
Those vocal harmonies that Michael McDonald is singing at 7:20 in that "Peg" video are so incredible!
I always thought that those were an organ or something other than voices!
I had never listened that hard.

He is not kidding when he says how hard it would be to sing those intervals and keep it that in tune.

I agree!!! Blew my mind. I knew Michael McDonald did BG vox for the Dan but I only ever really noticed the one layer... the fact that it's him over god-knows-how-many-tracks made my head explode. Awesome stuff. thumbsup

Yeah - real learning experience he said.. v cool.

Hi Jules,
I made about 24 Nuendo tutorial videos in YouTube.
But I use my mother language (Indonesia) not English.
Is this OK ?

Jules, I just found this thread. Is this still the process you would like to follow to submit vault candidates?

[warhead]

Hey Jules, I have about 50 YouTube videos on my channel that are my "Twisted Knobs" series. It's my hand on a piece of gear...err...twisting knobs. For EQ's I tweak a kick drum (to show more low end and low-mid tweakage) and female vocal (to show more upper mid and "air" top end tweakage). For compressors it is drum buss then female vocal. I made the videos to bring context to audio files which I host (and I also host a higher res AUDIO version of these videos in my own player, the video side is lo-res but the audio is about 4x better than YouTube).

If those are educational enough or qualify, let me know. I am always adding new videos as well.

Here is the latest example of one at this time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=850yCKpRTEM

I spent a couple hours in that section last week. Great stuff! I also learned from one professional, that a Mackie mixer is better than Pro Tools! That was a shock to me.

There was one guy who was brilliant, but they didn't show his name. I'll try to find him again and maybe one of you know who it is. He said that he stopped using a DAW because it gets in the way of the artistic process. He likes how you are forced to decide and commit to something when you are on tape and a mixer with no recall.

I don't totally agree with that, but it is great food for thought. Maybe sometimes in an effort to make things too perfect, we lose the magic that only happens on one of the first takes.

YouTube - Eric Johnson Up Close - part 1 - Saucer Studios

Eric Johnsons studio. There are three videos, but the first one is the one that is the most studio-related.
