I agree completely. I think that is the essence of music creation to co-create & help others to create as well. She is literally manifesting the future of music.
you have earned a new sub...i have watched dozens of these types and most people simply suck at teaching..you are setting the gold standard here..keep it up...amazing work and i LOVE the simple terms you use so people like me can understand it.
Thank you for your comment 😀🙏
An excellent video which explains everything you need to know about not only how to connect stuff but why it's important to get it right. Thanks for taking the time to create it - very much appreciated.
Thank you 😀
Very clear and also pleasant to listen to, at least for we who do not like to be yelled at.
You have a polite way of teaching , You do it simple and make if pleasant to try
I'm glad that I've found this channel. The answers to all of my questions are right here! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication towards your subscribers and others. Your videos are really helpful and contain pure contents. Great job @MusicRepo
This was so helpful, thank you. My equipment has been saved from many frights!! What where and when usually takes a long time to get right, you are such a fantastic communicator.
Spectacular video thank you so much. I've never seen TR vs TRS explained so well without getting overly technical about it.
Kudos to you for gaining the knowledge and sharing it so freely! I have a background in broadcast engineering, worked in the industry for many years, and had all the college courses, so no surprise that my cohorts and I see a lot of bad information on the interwebs, but your instruction is first class!
Thank you for that!
@@MusicRepo can we throw a patchbay into the signal please ? Im about to be more confused
Best tutorial I’ve seen on balanced/unbalanced - I’ve alway wondered what they did and why you would use them. Thanks.
I completely agree... It was very kind of the author to share her audio connectors knowledge with us. I pick more than a couple of new points, plus refreshing my knowledge. Thank you. GFC
This video is so good. Thank you for these excellent clear and easy to understand explanations.
Hands down best cable explanation I have seen yet, thanks for your efforts!
This is a terrific introductory video to subject of audio cables and connectors. I very much appreciate you making this video. Thanks so much!
Absolutely Brilliant. Perhaps one best video on UA-cam for the purpose. Thank you so much. 👏
You have the gift to make things short and easy but still rich and comprehensive. Thank you so much! This topic in particular has always got me confused...
Glad it was helpful!
The absolute best clarification about audio plugs. Thank you so much
I have been struggling between what cables to get for my Roland FP90 until I found your video. Thank you so much!
Amazingly helpful and you've gone to a lot of trouble constructing a professional video with B-roll etc. That must have taken you a lot of effort - much appreciated!

Extremely helpful and well-done. Thanks.
People talk about Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Amy Adams, Jennifer Connelly, Ingrid Bergman, Úrsula Andress, Grace Kelly, Janet Leigh, Myrna Loy, Mary Pickford and Greta Garbo… but nobody talks about a woman who knows her audio.
If I made you a ring out of a trs cable and put a dollop of solder on top as a gemstone, could we be balanced???
Love the posts. Keep educating. You’re dreamy.
Best from NYC.

Great help for the balance and unbalance signal cable explanation...thank you.👍🇵🇭
Brilliant video. Many thanks for posting it.
What a great and informative video! Thank you, you answered many questions and gained a new subscriber.
Great guide, Jane! Your explanations are always clear and complete but not patronising (that can be a tricky balance, but you always get it right 😉). I teach music subjects in English at a specialised music high school in Italy and like to assign your videos to my students. Theoretically, they know these things from their “music technology” classes (in Italian) but they have told me that your videos are a great way to review and that they pick up new info as well.
Great great info in a very simple way. Thank you
Excellent and crystal clear! Thanks a lot!
What a great explanation. Thank you!
This was extremely useful and educational, thank you!!
Veeeery informative! Now I know how to avoid noise on my microphone. All thanks to you!! :)
Great video very clear and you made it very easy to understand, now I undestand why I have unwanted noise thank you.😊
So good . The best I have seen . Im sure you have helped many many people . Thankyou !
Great video, I loved it!
This is precious. So informative.
Exceptional video / exceptional voice and accent !! Cheers from Dallas Texas
Amazing informative video, thank you so much!!!!!!!
Super video! The video leave me with a feeling after reading a good recipe for a pie. You feel confident that after a few trials there will be success! Thanks for being my teacher! )))

Thanks for the clear video. I have recently purchased a behringer UMC202HD and I am trying to record my electronic keyboard. Oooops! I bought the wrong cable, but your video explains which one I should buy!
Excellent - thanks!
Brilliant video!!!!
Great video!
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you for explaining this to me like I'm five (in a good way) ☺️
Very good To Unterstand thank you
Amazing, thank you !!!
Thank you very much. 👍🏻
Usually I go to a studio and leave it to the professionals but this time going to record at least the basics at home & invested in focusrite etc a bit scary .. but really find your advice clear and helpful keep up the good work !!!
Yes.
Very nice!!
Excellent and precise explanation. The only distraction while listening to it is the continuous loop of music playing in the background. Unfortunately, for all of us it has now become a norm to put background music in every video, since the availability of free or royalty free music.
Perfect. Subscribed.
Very useful thanks!
Thank you ...
Outstanding cheers 🍻
Stellar video
Thank you very much.
well said, thanks.
Excellent… 😀
Brilliant.
Much to my embarrassment, I have been using these phrases incorrectly for YEARS.
Thank you.
Happy to help 👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Awesome! Thank you for covering this
My teacher 🍾
the best!!! thanks!
Thanks you
this was super helpful, thank you!
Thank yoy si very much!
Excellent video as you are the only one who has actually explained that a balanced TRS cable is the same as a Stereo cable as it converts to a mono balanced cable if both the output/input you are going from and to are balanced ie say the interface and active speaker. As when I have been looking up TRS balanced leads, many of them advise as being instrument leads etc, which was confusing plus I also thought that the actual speaker lead itself was also a special balanced cable, as even on the instructions on my new Interface it advises to buy a balanced cable if going to balanced inputs. Thank You
Glad you find it useful 👍
I also had never heard that a "balanced TRS cable" is the same as a "Stereo cable" or indeed why that is the case. Many Thanks
This is the knowledge that I am looking for. A big fat thanks for your video. This is very useful and helpful for me as a beginner 🙏🙏😃. Btw, I have a question, what type of cable should I use to connect my Yamaha PSR-E463 keyboard to my Yamaha MG10XU audio mixer in order to get a stereo output? I have used an XLR to TRS cable, but it didn't work. TRS to TRS cable also didn't work. FYI, my Yamaha keyboard only has a line out/phone output. Thank you very much for your help 🙏
Hi, you will need to split the signal from the keyboard, TRS (from line out) to breakout twin TS, and use two channels on mixer, one for left, one right
You r great job mam thankx so much hahaha
You do a good job at teaching. I would like if possible some video on systems like the Evolution Wireless G4 Combo set For professional live sound (Sennheiser). I need to know how to install and configure for use in a school setting, etc. Thanks
Great review, I am looking to find the bandwidth of a balanced TS 3,5 mm jack versus a usb c 3.0 to micro usb cable to find out what would be best to play dsd from my smartphone connected through a DAC. It's to be simpler to play good music today :)
another very helpful tutorial.i am always waiting for your videos :)
Thanks 😀
thank you so much!
very simple, and video is very well-made
Thank you 🙏
Great!
