KVR Audio

Hi everyone on KVR, I want to share the first video of the serie Understanding Audio, I`m working on this project to share knowledge about basic audio.

Through this video we are going to talk about:
- What are sound waves
- How sound waves are measured
- Shapes and sound of waves

Thanks

Not a bad effort at what can be a dry subject, and the graphics certainly helped.
I don't know if you'll get many enthusiastic followers on this forum though, as a fair few of us know already quite a bit about the subject matter.

Lastly, the word sawtooth is not pronounced how you pronounced it.
The first 3 letters are pronounced as ''SOR'' not ''SOW''.

"sor"? I don't pronounce sawtooth as "sortooth". I pronounce the aw as in "awe", with an S at the beginning. S awe tooth.

^^ Jace, you're trying to start an argument about exactly the same pronunciation...

SOR: as in ''this OR that'' with an s on the front.

You and I certainly don't pronounce SAWTOOTH as SOW (rhyming with COW), as the video creator does.

For a course teaching about audio, I would expect your audio to be on-point. Start with your plosives, and work up from there.

Also, perhaps you might think about adding subtitles

Sortooth?

As in: I had the dentist take a look at my sortooth?

1. Presenter has an accent, it's understandable, deal with it. The video does have subtitles/captions in English and Spanish if you toggle the CC button and they are accurate. That's a plus for educational materials.

2. Audio does not start until 17 seconds. Additionally, the audio introduces what is already known via the video title and words in the video itself. The actual tutorial does not start until 30 seconds into it. This is an eternity on YouTube. People will bounce.

To be honest, the intro is pointless. For 30 seconds it is there to show your logo and compositing skills, when the logo and skills are present throughout the entire video. Cut that down to 2 seconds, max. And even that is far too long. Look at other tutorial videos, they jump into it right away. Your channel's introduction video is supposed to do all this introducing (and that itself drags, I bounced 5 seconds into it).

3. The tutorial itself is pretty good and the graphics and animations are very helpful. I'm not sure what audience you have in mind because you're glossing over terms like "oscillation" without explanation, but then explain basic terms like "frequency".

For the record, my comment about how to pronounce sawtooth correctly was intended purely as help.
Anyone can see from my other fair comments during that post (and also my profile, if you wish) exactly the spirit in which that advice was stated.

I speak and write intermediate Japanese (as well as native English) - I would want someone to point out any spoken or written 日本語 errors I make.
As such, yes the OP has an accent (as we all do) but I'm sure he'd prefer to know how to say a word in the way that (nearly) everyone else says it.

However, the point about pronunciation wasn't supposed to dominate this thread! My main point about the OP's video came above it in my post.

But that was the point of Jace's post. Nearly everyone doesnt say it with the intrusive r. The OP's own accent is effectively as valid as the intrusive r you're recommending.

What are sound waves?
