Ethan Winer, AP Mastering, Dan Worall. The avengers of audio mythbusting
he came from nowhereand dropped a bombshell with 2 free vsts!
Paul Third has done some good work in this space too.
I'm a huge fan of Ethan. He's one of the guys that gave me courage entering into the audio production world by debunking a ton of the costly BS early on in my journey.
Ethan is an Audio Jedi. The good side.
Blows my mind his knowledge. Might grab his book and make a pre amp and distortion decice.
i also recommend the douglas self book he mentions
Ethan has pissed off so many Audio gear creators. ha ha ha. WELL DONE.
Wow. Way to casually drop some incredible content
Cello Rondo - grate piece of music - Thanks Mr. Ethan :)
Love this channel, voicing something I always considered to be truth. There‘s so much magical thinking involved in mixing etc.
The absolute best debunking of so many of the lies audiophiles are told is the complete lack of any proof to back it up. It's painfully simple... If you cant get verification from reputable sources (not the manufacturer's websites) then don't believe it.
Most of the problems are caused by home sound reproduction is viewed as a hobby of equipment by a large percentage of people. They are not very interested in the actual music.
Yes, it's like a sausage measuring contest.
Thank God we have an Ethan Winer. I can't stand the amount of pseudoscience in the audio field.
Thanks!!
I've seen guys trying to debunk this new kids channel I think it's doing great keep up the good work A/B theM prove it that's what I say
Plus you're offering a free plug-in that's pretty awesome
A/B tests have a way of pissing off audio snobs.
love your work! your music sounds good! keep it up!
hoped to see more of Ethans cat but still good video
This is priceless content. Now I'm engaged, who's next? Dan?
maybe at some point
Ethan is an absolute treasure. I was hoping that this conversation might have veered into power supplies at some point- obviously the expensive power cables are nonsense, but I’m curious what his thoughts are on power supply design (ala linear vs. modern switching) and implementation. I suppose he’s got a deep enough body of work that he’s probably written about it somewhere I can go find.
even manley are adopting switching
Thanks. That was really interesting! Just purchased his eBook.
Totally agree about the Monty video mentioned in the end, it is absolutely fantastic!
Great interview, I hope to see more of this kind on this channel with some audio myth debunking legends. :)
awesome my friend, thanks!
I say let the people have their cake.
If they are some hippie who doesn't really care about facts and science then sure but often times this exploits beginners who don't know any better
I dig it but tbh would rather use some crusty old gear for saturation than plugins for that specific task.
Yeah, everyone was wondering what you were going to do! We've been on the edge of our seats with anticipation!!
@@dmacrolens😂😂😂
this so good man, thank you!
Thanks for the video. Show the man some courtesy and put a link to his website 🙂
Indeed ... it's a wealth of good information.
yeah I did for the last one but forgot when I uploaded this. just added
Love conversation. Simple truth always eye opening. ☺️👍🙏
But to understand all this you need a lot of not only audio listening experience, but an engeneering too. So such a knowlege Ethan sharing is a diamond. Thanks a lot!
And a bit of my experience: You always need power cables depending on power your system use. Maybe slightly heavier to avoid heatup. Maybe some quality power filters (you must know what is inside). Not more than that.
Okay, maybe you need some kind of connection structure and shielding, but it definitely not worth 1000+ euros cables. It's all fake.
Better to invest into wave cancellation/damping/diffusive materials and your monitor vibration stands, to break unneeded seismic power exchange between monitors and your table or stands, to improve your overall listening experience.
People just like spending money on things
I've very much been enjoying your channel since you've started posting. And its a bonus that you're seemingly into techno!
yeah i've released a bit of techno too, for example my music as shards
@@APMastering Would love to check out some of your tunes. I can't find it easily, could you link your bandcamp?
@@RishiJParmar don't have bandcamp it's on spotify. search shards untitled 😎
@@APMastering Thanks for that. Gone through your catalogue. My favourite was B1 from your Four EP. Really quite musical and nice layering of synths. I also liked the wonky nature of B1 from Two. You should release more if you have time! You probably have a great understanding of lowend now after mastering the genre for a long time.
@@RishiJParmar thanks! yeah mastered thousands of techno tracks. i've got a lot of unreleased stuff i can put out at some point
I swear by my "tonewood" cables.
excellent content, this need more audience
Nice one dude, thanks!
evert time i see the thumbnail i think the guest has a wild neck tattoo
lol
Great info and interview. 💥💥💥
Can you make an in-depth video about what we Can and Can't get from analog gear such as preamp and compression?
Why would someone who is working only in the box be a good choice for a shootout between analog and digital? Btw, this discussion is so 2000. Just look up the gear space forum and start reading.
@@StotheEtotheB I did. More opinions are better my guy. Anyone can have their right and wrongs. They don't need to act as annoyed as you bro. Maybe 2000 dicussion is not as relevant in 2024?
@@chiminhtran7534 Its actually absolutely irrelevant and I dont know any professional talking about analog vs. digital anymore. They just use what they like. Its not that im annoyed, its actually the wrong way to look at things.
If you want a shoot out between analog and digital just read one of the 1000 good article about it and make your own conclusions. ;)
Hi @chiminhtran7534 my channel might be what you're looking for! I shootout out hardware and plugins all the time!
Have you seen how many instruments Ethan can play?
i've seen cello and guitar but i'm sure he can play more!
@@APMasteringThanks for your interview.
Sir Blink-a-lot
Time for Ethan to retire. OMG, power cables? talk about beating a dead horse. And you both are wrong about magical stones, they do make a difference, its called another object in the room with more reflections, why anyone would want that is another thing. On analog vs digital you both are just wrong, just because a plugin says in emulates analog device X doesn't mean it actually does. Unless you have the algorithms and know how they work, what their advantages and disadvantages are, you frankly have little to no business talking about it. Its pretty rare for anyone to have the knowledge of both domains to actually know enough on both analog and digital systems to make any claims at all that are credible. If you've done any real DSP development you learn quickly what the limitations and flaws of the various algorithms are and that there are differences that can't be compensated for. Which sounds better and if it matters is completely subjective and situational. Null tests are not the holy grail when comparing analog to digital as they never truly null. The only place where null tests are really effective is in digital vs digital comparisons in the box. Blind tests are similar there are to many factors that can be accounted for such as lister skill. A non-trained listener may not hear the difference but a trained listener might. The arguments in the video assume that everything involved is 100% understood and can be measured at 100% resolution, nether one of those assumptions is true, new discoveries are made, new algorithms are found, etc. ROFL, nobody buys a high end pre-amp for clean sound, they buy it for the opposite! The point to committing to a sound and chain early is it changes how the musician plays, they may lean into a note more if there is compression, etc, etc, etc. and the idea is you get a better performance. Yah, it might be nice to change stuff later in the mix but any engineer worth anything knows getting the best performance is far more important than a little bit of flexibility at the mixing desk. OMG, of course you can hear phase!!!!! It just requires two signals before you can. And of course stacking matters!! No one would ever put just an eq on every channel vs an eq at the end, the eq on every channel sometimes has a compressor on one channel after the eq, etc. so its a completely valid approach. Jitter is definitely an issue especially on the low end with high transient material where it can cause phase issues, again its situation specific. Jitter won't matter if the track has a single kick drum, it may matter if there are multiple that need to play at the same time, especially when combining analog signals with midi drum machines with VSTi's, etc. Its even a bigger issue in the midi domain and real time midi messages.
The difference between you and Ethan, is he puts test results up, you just talk in to many paragraphs for a comment.
Jordan Valeriot from the hardcore music studio CZcams channel has made a couple cool analogue vs digital emulation shootout videos. He got lots of famous and high skill music producers to listen and try to pick out the analogue mix/track etc. Most of them did correctly pick the analogue choice, but all of them said it was so close than it didn’t matter.
Use a USB interface with real time DSP if you want the performer to monitor with some compression, eq, reverb, etc.
Arguing about stuff like this is pointless these days. It’s becoming more and more obvious what matters and what is snake oil.
Do your own A/B test videos to prove him wrong. I’d love to see another perspective.
boy he a hard guy to keep looking at when his eyes keep shutting and opening
like a window he intense lol
It's involuntary Tourette's. Don't beat up on the guy for something he legit can't stop.
Ethan is the man. An audio treasure.
If that can stop you from hearing what he's saying, then you aren't very interested in what he has to say.
I know Ethan a little bit... and trust me, he is completely worth listening to.
Bruh, it’s part of a medical condition. Don’t be disrespectful. Maybe just use your ears instead of your eyes if watching his face is trouble for you.
Show some respect. Don't lol at a legend.
