the only straightforward explanation on the web
This is one of those cases when a UA-cam channel does not have the amount of subscribers it deserves. Very good work, funny and at the same time, enlightening explanations. You have it all, you really deserve more but at the end, it's about quality and not quantity.
Thanks! I haven't been at it for too long, so share and spread the word! :)
Fantastic technical explanation mate, love the humor, best way to get people to come away with a smile and retain the info.
This is one of my favourite channels at the time. And I have seen and watched a lot.
From top to bottom i hope u never stop these videos THANK U
i love how you explained this... the demonstrations were awesome! I go to class every Monday and my Audio Engineer instructor always talks about it but has never explained it like this! thank you so much. I understand this so much better! You have a new subscriber! Cant wait to check out your other videos!
Honestly well done Mr B. Easy to follow and concise
Really helpful , please please please keep producing video clips like this !
I appreciate that the audio, in this video about audio, sounds great.
Great video. Cuts through the confusion and stays clear and to the main points. Thanks. Helped.
Outstanding video! Clear and easy to understand. Hope you keep up the awesome content!
Yeah this video is the first I’ve watched of yours and I have to say SO REFRESHING! Usually I hop onto youtube to find an answer to a specific question, 3 hours later I’m more confused than when I started with a bones level of hopelessness that I’ll ever figure this out/what the hell am I doing with my life!? lol All that to say, very clear, simplified for the noobs and just complex enough (for me) to get acquainted with the more advanced aspect of recording. Its even got some creative production value (a little cheese ball but in a funny and engaging way- promise that’s not a dig :). Anyway, I’ll definitely be checking out your other videos and a huge THANK YOU!!!
Subscribed. Very well put and entertaining video! I hope your channel grow, man
This is a great explanation of what a mic-preamp is and how it works. Looks like you're a professional recording engineer, and Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
As a sound design student your videos are super informative and I love the humor you add to your videos. I laughed quite a few times! Thank you for making these videos!
Now I finally understand what is a Pre-Amp and Amp and I can't describe the feelling.
I'm creating now a playlist and favoritating all your videos.
I'm also sharing your videos.
Thank you so much!
I just love the funny guy asking the most important questions, lol 😂 I’m literally cracking up! 🤣 Thanks for such an awesome tutorial, and breaking it down to making since for us beginners. 🙋🏽♀️
Great video. Thanks for making it clear.
great video! I didn't know what was a preamp, this was awesome for introduction! I hope your channel is successful.
A stellar example of how to make a UA-cam video. And the sound clarity convincingly proves the author knows what he talks about. Thank you very much!
Great explanation. Thanks for the advice.
Great production!
The Rolls Pre-amp sounded surprisingly good for the price on piano to me! Thanks for the great video too! God Bless!
Hands down the best explanation video around!
That was entertaining as well as very informative. Very well executed. Please keep video's like this coming UA-cam need intellectual beings like you.
love your teaching style Mr B! i'm a video editor just starting to learn about audio, i learned so much from this. we need to grow your channel! i volunteer as tribute!
This is way too funny haha. Thank you for the educational video man. I got a Shure SM58 from my father that dates back decades and I love it. Also got a focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen with a pre-amp and was never quite sure what it was for except for volume.
Really well put together video 👍
Thank you for the explanation. Very informative and entertaining
Man, I just found this video. Thank you! what a great explanation.
This explanation is a godsend. Thank you.
Awesome overview - love your style and content and hope people catch on :)
Me: “Hey Record label.. can I record with Steve Albini?”
Record Label: “No.. we have Steve Albini at home.”
Steve Albini at home:
Thanks man . Stay up . I like that “ puzzle pieces together “
Awesome video! Keep it up! Best regards from Germany!
Thanks! :)
I'm so happy that I found your channel, Thanks a lot.
Best explanation ever! Thanks, Mr. B!!!
Great tutorial and for me the Neve on the piano was quite an ear opener
This is pure gold. Thank you! 😬👍

I was so confused about mic & pre amp,but u helped me a lot through this video thanks a lot 😀😀😀
Thanks for this. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
really love how u explain things! :D
Very informative! Thank you!
I like way you ask questions and then answer. This is great didactic technique! Now tell us pre-amps to buy based on price. Will be a nice follow up.
That Neve is in a class of its own.
Excellent! Thank You!
Thanks for this video! I finally understood how this works. 🙏
You need x100 more subscribers. You definitely deserve it.
Exactly what I was looking for!

great video thanks
Thanks for keeping it simple for a newb like me. I think you might have saved me some money. Rock and roll! \m/
AVALON my favorite so far.
Wonderfully done and very useful. And very funny I might add. Loved it! Learned a lot and got some good laughs while doing it. :)
Thanks! :)
Greetings fŕom Korea. Ty for your advice!
Wow the MP13 was definitely flatter. I loved the bass of the Neve but i think the Avalon was probably the best all-round. Amazing video, entertaining and educational. Congrats!
I agree...
Very good instructional video! Funny moments are a bonus. ;)
Verry well explaiend!!! thanks
I figured it's obvious to you... but I'm starting a Drum channel to show my progression picking up a new instrument. So this is absolutely helpful to me as I am recording more than Drums over all. As I progress to find other members to jam with and create.... this is something I'm currently educating myself in. I have built everything from the ground up and started one year ago. I will be working on mastering the sound of the drums with the sound booth and drum booth. I am also looking at compressors along side of the pre-amps. I used to be a truck driver and I dropped everything in life to be happy. I quit driving to follow my dreams and what do you know... I was serious and life made the way for me.
Very cool... best of luck to you!
Thank you. This video helps me.
Nice Video!
hilarious and informative... thank you!
I like the Avalon on the Piano...the snare was harder to tell a difference although the rolls seems like less clarity.
Thanks for the video!
Avalon was the only one that stood out to me on the piano. I just didn't hear a significant difference with the drums or on the piano, otherwise.
I actually have a Rolls preamp. It's not the greatest but for my purposes I wouldn't notice the difference (I live in an apartment with a background noise level of about 35-40 dB). It was either get the Rolls, or the Behringer Ultragain Mic 100, and I wanted to avoid tubes if possible.
Thank you for your help
good info. thx
You just had to save my exam tomorrow! thank you so much! you must have millions of subs wtf.
Awesome! Good luck!
Not even 10 seconds of video. Already gave a like. Thank u
This was very informative, thank you! Is there a site you can recommend that would give advice on what pre-amp / mic combinations would go well together at different price points? For example, I find myself in a situation where I'm taking singing lessons and would like to record my singing and given a choice of microphone (in my case I'm chossing a Rode NTK) I'm looking for a pre-amp to go with it but my head is spinning with so many options... a site that would offer recommendations at different budgets would not only be helpful but would add traffic to your site as well as add revenue via links to amazon. Think about it, and thanks for your informative videos!
do work in video and use an audio recorder when plugged into different sound systems to get clean audio. It has a LINE/MIC switch for its inputs... had NO idea what that meant before watching. Thanks!
sick channel ! just subscribed
That piano riff is soooo sick! I wanna sample it so had.
That's Chopin's Prelude Op. 28: No. 20 in C Minor
this is the best, thank you.
Thank you that's what I'm looking for
Greate video!!!!!!!!! I love your way of explaining. Its so easy to listen to. (Funny coincidence: You played the song that i am learning right now on the Piano haha)
Hey Will! Can you share the name of the song?
Sure! => Prelude Opus 28 No. 20 by F. Chopin
@@willpalgan Thanks man!
haha great video! Thank you for the entertainment and info.
Thank you
Definitely one of the best on “how to” audio recording, thanks. I’ve seen recently a linked set of grace preamps 101-103s. What is the purpose of linking?
Thanks for watching!
The link option is so that you can have 2 preamps have the exact same settings for stereo operation
Terrific, thanks Mr. B!
Geeze sorry for all the replies, internet issues
