Untangling Mysteries

A sound mixer

 

Audio Simplified

I have spent a lot of time finding audio solutions for various projects. When something stumped me, I naturally turned to the internet. Unfortunately, an overabundance of information can be just as frustrating as a dearth - often the 20-second answer I needed was buried in a 20-minute video. I produced this series to demonstrate the usefulness of 2-minute resource videos, and 70,000 viewers have verified this proof-of-concept.

Cables, Cables, Cables

Just about anyone who has worked with professional audio systems understands the frustration of having to mix and match various adapters and wondering why there are so many different cable standards. Finding the answer should be simple, but many resources about audio technology delve into extensive theory. In this 4-part series, I offer a very brief overview of the applications and history of TS, XLR, RCA, and Speakon cable standards.

Each video is optimized to direct the YouTube algorithm toward the target market of audio novices, resulting in an 8.8% click-through rate.
