Compressed is peak for my tingles, AI sounded absolutely crazy- felt like you were RIGHT in my ears. Definitely my favorite two, but I can see the AI one being abrasive with louder end sounds
I personally really dig it when the audio is all up in my ears, really close and rich and bassy. That said, literally all of these options sound super good in their own right, and I’m terrible at making decisions
Oh its 100% a word, makes sense too. Lots of studios and musicians use something called a "Pop Filter" so u don't pick up the physical feel of those sounds
1. Compressed - 2. Natural - 3. Equalized - 4. A.I. But the differences are marginal. They all sound good. Whatever you've been doing, it's been great!
the compressed version was the best for me, it's something about the sensitivity and enunciation.. i have to agree with other commenters, though - every experimental video from you is high quality and pleasant
I totally did not expect such a drastic change between the compressed and natural audio; that was so cool! I definitely love the natural audio, which sounded almost...fuzzy? Does that make sense? Idk, it was just more tingly lol. Anyways, great vid 😊
I like the second.. it's more intimate. Makes me feel like you're on the next pillow. Your voice is the reason why youre my favorite asmr presenter. I do like the equalizer version too.
The practical upside of having a 'loud' (edited to have high volume) ASMR video and turning down the volume on my end is that any other sounds that might come through don't blow my ears off. Also I kinda have the opposite volume problem that you described. I like to listen to ASMR videos that are on the louder end, but the way my audio is set up on my PC I don't have much headroom to turn the volume up beyond what I normally listen to other content at. So creators who master their videos to be super-quiet actually upset me a bit lol So with that in mind I think 3 and 4 are probably my favorites. But #2 and the ending bit still aren't so quiet that they fall into the 'annoying' category I mentioned so if that's your preferred method I'm fine.
I've always loved your editing (compression)! As a sound buff myself I appreciate rich, mid eq sound and you've always had that. I usually keep my volume around 15-20% on my phone for asmr but with your editing style I've always been able to lower it to 10% or less for maximum tingles. You do what makes you happy but my preference is compression
Idk any of this and tried to really listen 🤣 but I find it cool how asmr creators get very technical with the craft of learning how to be mini audio engineers. Always cool to see a hobby turn into a full on learning experience 👍🏼 keep up the learning.
This was actually really interesting. It's cool to hear how much you think about your audio editing. To me the first three all sounded great and I'm not sure which of them I'd prefer, but the AI definitely sounded less pleasant I'm kinda curious, when using different triggers, do you treat those differently when looking at the peaks/range, or take the general range of the entire multi-trigger recording?
Hey Luuk, now you're speaking my kind of language! I've tried it all, but being lazy and keeping it simple seems to always be the best bet. Setting the volume of the entire recording, usually until the quietest trigger sounds good, and compressing the whole track just below 0dB (that also seems to sound the most natural). In the past, when I goofed and had no idea what I was doing, banging on a colander and whispered 2 meters from my first mic. I had to lower the volume of the tapping and boost the whispers just to make it sound like ASMR. Even now, when a loud chunk sticks out after giving it the usual treatment, it gets a different EQ or volume adjustment before anything else. Specifically, some loud tapping above +6dB will get compressed to the -4dB range at a ratio of 4:1, and quiet whispers will get -2dB at 2:1 or until the peaks get just below 0dB. I've been meaning to make an updated "how I edit my ASMR" video. This is giving me some great ideas! I always want to share a lot of info, but don't want to scare anyone off, showing just how simple it can be
#2 sounds the most ‘natural’ to me, like as we as the listener were really in the room with you. Plus with the overall volume lower it gives us a chance to listen at whatever loudness we want. Love your videos!
On headphones natural is the best but EQ is the best on phone. And i usually watch your videos without headphones. Mostly because i love the POP in your voice. Specifically i love the way you pronounce constants. Also PJ idk what you did in 2017 (audio wise) was fantastic.
AI is the clearest as far as understanding your voice. Natural is the tingliest, the great dynamic range really helps. Compressed is the nicest sounding to my ear. Equalised is the worst. It's just sort of... Noisy and a little dull compared to the others!
This was actually so interesting. I am studying Electrical Engineering in University and I'm in a class about signals and communication, so hearing all these things were actually so interesting in how it relates to what I'm studying. The compressor I find sounds the best, sounds the most consistent throughout while maintaining those sensitivity levels. The natural has that punch you mentioned, but too quiet for my ASMR preference, just don't feel it as much. Definitely sounds the most clean, and it is nice, definitely works for certain ASMR types. The "AI" sounds similar to the compressor but it definitely doesn't cut those peaks as cleanly as the compressor, some harsh s sounds. The equalizer I found left that unsatisfying feel. I could really hear that frequency cut, and it just felt like I was missing something while also hearing too much background. Regardless this was a really cool experiment, and my experience for sure will be different from others!
#2 is very relaxing and makes me feel cozy. #1 sounds like it would sound amazing for sounds with objects. Makes it sound really crisp. #3 GET OUT OF MY HEAD. Jk jk but you are right in my ears, and I like this one for the whispers. #4 is very loud and kind of harsh for whispers. Not the fave for how I experience asmr. So that's my order: 2, 1, 3, and 4. Thanks for your videos! They mean a lot to me for my sleeping needs :) I hope you're well.
We love how much of an efford you put into the sound. I reeeelly tried to choose a favourite, but I just can´t. They are all good in their own unique way. (I know that´s not the answer you would like to hear...but heeey...it´s the truth). So interesting to be able to compare and Im so impressed by all the work that you put into this.
After watching this multiple times. I think I actually like natural (option 2). I will admit, all of your videos bring me comfort and put me into what I call my safe space so whichever route you decide for audio. I’ll always enjoy.
#1 & #3 I really enjoyed! I enjoy the breathy whispers versus just calm quiet whispers and these two do a better job of this. All of them though are relaxing 💚✨
I'm only listening on shitty earbuds atm but I prefer the eq'ed one. Have you tried a vocal rider/auto gain > 2:1 quick attack/release comp > eq? Also while on the subject, I think an ott/upward compression could be a cool effect as a one off, since your noise floor is so low
Compressed gives me the "brush on the mic" effect, equalizer has crispy sounds, AI does not work on me at all as it seems. Nothing in AI just...stands out.
Nice video and sound, personally i prefer the natural sound over the compressed, is more soft than the others, also equalized sounds quite similar to the natural one at least in soft speaking! Greetings from Chile!
Personally I did not like 2 (natural) because I felt like someone put sound deadener over my speaker. As someone on here said, "fuzzy". I like to hear all the ambient sounds clearly. My favorite was 1,4,3. Dead last was #2. That all said, PJ you do all your ASMR videos very well. Thank you and please continue to post!!
thank you pj for your videos! and a great commitment. your voice is very much sleepy, which is obviously a good thing. i hope you are feeling well and rested enough. if you are reading this, you are worthy, you are enough and you deserve to be there. thank you for making the world a better place. you do enough. you are actually managing your life so well. you can achieve anything you put your mind and effort into. ❤
So the answer all along was to just lower the volume! Hahah great research video thank you PJ love learning while listening to ASMR PS. I personally like the 1st method the most
I love compressed SO MUCH! It sounds hard to do, but oh my it sounds amazing. If you do any more videos with it, I swear I will worship you like a god :D
I liked the natural one more! Since it's not your usual style of editing maybe you could do one video some day with that type of editing? I love all your videos anyway
Hey! Sorry if I bother you. I've recently made an asmr video of hair brushing super relaxing in no talking. Would you like to check it and let me know your feedback? Thank you so much for your time. See you soon and have a nice life! 🧡

I definitely like the last one the best. I've been noticing the louder and sharper editing recently, and to be honest it's not something im personally a fan of. I like the quiet and less "sharp" or "crisp" sounds :))
Definitely like 2 the best, the others are way too harsh imo. Also now I finally understand why I just can’t stand the whispers of some ASMRtists, but others I can easily fall asleep to - it’s mostly in the audio mixing. #1 and #4 especially sound like the kind of whispering I hate, the kind that is much too harsh and poppy to relax to.
Close, breathy and extremely binaural whispering is the only thing i am able to get tingles from. And only on my right ear too! Instant tingles
omg I am the sameeeeee even to the right ear haha! have you tried anticipatory tingles? like from heather feather those are my favorite
i have the same thing try watching tickle asmr by masayoshi
@@Fiona-we8xl i have seen some of heathers unexpected binaural videos but became immune to those unfortunately :(
me too!
Same! Except in the left ear for me lol!
Compressed is peak for my tingles, AI sounded absolutely crazy- felt like you were RIGHT in my ears. Definitely my favorite two, but I can see the AI one being abrasive with louder end sounds
AI can be customized tho
You literally have the best audio quality ever in my opinion. No matter how you do it, it always works perfectly!
Also, hope you fully recover soon! 😄
literally sounds like he’s speaking right in my ears 😭😭
I love it so much and he’s the only asmrtist I know who spent countless of vids trying to get the audio to be the best
Try SensorAdi ASMR
@@abibradford9762there is a french asmrtist AsminotauR that spend 2000€ on microphone best quality with really clear binaural sound
I personally really dig it when the audio is all up in my ears, really close and rich and bassy. That said, literally all of these options sound super good in their own right, and I’m terrible at making decisions
equalized is actually really tingly! the T’s and P’s are extra pop-y (if that’s a word)
Oh its 100% a word, makes sense too. Lots of studios and musicians use something called a "Pop Filter" so u don't pick up the physical feel of those sounds
@@GxWattsactually a pop filter was originally meant for protecting the microphones

"choices were made, moments have been cemented, editing is not a possibility"
Hmmm, I need this poetic line if I may, I'll do my own version of it
I love #2. It sounds like you're right here. The crispness and quiteness is perfection!
The practical upside of having a 'loud' (edited to have high volume) ASMR video and turning down the volume on my end is that any other sounds that might come through don't blow my ears off.

surprisingly, natural audio gave me the most tingles, i feel like by deleting all the breathiness, it lets the poppy sounds shine, i like it
I've always loved your editing (compression)! As a sound buff myself I appreciate rich, mid eq sound and you've always had that. I usually keep my volume around 15-20% on my phone for asmr but with your editing style I've always been able to lower it to 10% or less for maximum tingles.

15-20%? I must be going deaf. I listen at around 75% most nights.
The second one is my favorite, i find it more relaxing when sound is on the quiet side
Tingles already within 10 seconds wow
SAME!
#3 was my fave. The emphasis on different sounds and syllables was pleasant. Surprised the brain and kept it hooked like a good song does
2 is where it’s at for me. The punch is usually what gives me tingles. I just turn up the volume on my phone and I’m good to go!
Idk any of this and tried to really listen 🤣 but I find it cool how asmr creators get very technical with the craft of learning how to be mini audio engineers. Always cool to see a hobby turn into a full on learning experience 👍🏼 keep up the learning.
It’s #3 for me. Only bc it’s warm on both ears and not as harsh. Compressed was also nice but #3
This was actually really interesting. It's cool to hear how much you think about your audio editing. To me the first three all sounded great and I'm not sure which of them I'd prefer, but the AI definitely sounded less pleasant

I like 1 and 4, because I feel they are the loudest and bring more tingles 🤗
i’m glad you’re choosing for your asmr to continue to be what makes you most happy
Number 1 was so good, so many tingles. My favorite by far
my favourite one is the equalizer ! it makes really relaxing sounds with your voice
Compression and AI were my faves! Thanks for explaining everything it was really interesting c:
On headphones natural is the best but EQ is the best on phone. And i usually watch your videos without headphones. Mostly because i love the POP in your voice. Specifically i love the way you pronounce constants.
Also PJ idk what you did in 2017 (audio wise) was fantastic.
I got instant tingle with the equalizer filter, but i like the natural style better
Another great video PJ 👏. Natural is my favourite! Really interesting to hear the method behind the audio etc!
AI is the clearest as far as understanding your voice.
Natural is the tingliest, the great dynamic range really helps.
Compressed is the nicest sounding to my ear.
Equalised is the worst. It's just sort of... Noisy and a little dull compared to the others!
This was actually so interesting. I am studying Electrical Engineering in University and I'm in a class about signals and communication, so hearing all these things were actually so interesting in how it relates to what I'm studying.

Loved the natural and compressed!
Miss your hand sounds with random whispers! Love your work🥰
I personally come to your channel FOR that high gain but warm whisper experience 🧘🏼♀️
I love how much effort you put into your videos and your audio quality!! Ty PJ, hope you’re feeling better soon!!
Natural is by far the one that sounds most organic and authentic to me. ❤
It's number 1 for me 🔥
As a music enthusiast I love the power of mixing and equalizing and I prefer the 3rd version
the quiet/natural one is the best definitely!
I am happy to listen to all but preferred the natural one!
#2 is very relaxing and makes me feel cozy.
#1 sounds like it would sound amazing for sounds with objects. Makes it sound really crisp.
#3 GET OUT OF MY HEAD. Jk jk but you are right in my ears, and I like this one for the whispers.
#4 is very loud and kind of harsh for whispers. Not the fave for how I experience asmr.
So that's my order: 2, 1, 3, and 4.
Thanks for your videos! They mean a lot to me for my sleeping needs :) I hope you're well.
compressed!!!! i got tingles as soon as u started speaking 😍✨
First setting was my favorite 🤩
I prefer #2 natural. All of your videos are great.
Honestly, I get tingles with all of them. I think the only thing that matters is how much detail in your whisper your microphone can capture.
personally I think #2 was the most relaxing and tingly
2 does it for me!
I like the natural one best
Yea same

The tingles are going crazy, love your content
OMG I'm so happy that you uploaded a new video
A.I. is the bestt!! Super tingly, I feel you more close and clear
natural all the way!! it relaxes me in 0.1 seconds
Fan of #2 natural
After watching this multiple times. I think I actually like natural (option 2).
I will admit, all of your videos bring me comfort and put me into what I call my safe space so whichever route you decide for audio. I’ll always enjoy.
I always love when you dive into the technicals, puts me right to sleep

The first version for sure ❤️
Loved A.I. and compressed the most
As a musician, I always wondered if asmr videos used any sorts of audio editing and this video was really insightful
So the answer all along was to just lower the volume! Hahah great research video thank you PJ love learning while listening to ASMR
PS. I personally like the 1st method the most
#2 is just so relaxing to me 💕

It sounds hard to do, but oh my it sounds amazing.

i like compressed ❤
Compressed is easily the best, natural was probs the worst tbh
I definitely like the last one the best. I've been noticing the louder and sharper editing recently, and to be honest it's not something im personally a fan of. I like the quiet and less "sharp" or "crisp" sounds :))
I want to hear the difference with different triggers
Compressed and equilized are both AMAZING
Your whispering is the best 🤤🤤
So far I liked the first one way better than the second
Honestly they all sound great in their own way, I would love to see you just try them out for various videos and triggers.
I liked the second one best! The last was good, too.
for me it went 2-1-4-3. fun video, i’m fond of whispers so it was a win for me :)
equalizer made me shiver and i wasn't even paying attention... :o (maybe it's just because it felt louder and better after the natural? who knows...)
Natural sounds best to me on my phone speakers. Sounds buttery smoooth fr
#2 natural is my favorite ❤
wow the second one was perfect
Definitely like 2 the best, the others are way too harsh imo.
Also now I finally understand why I just can’t stand the whispers of some ASMRtists, but others I can easily fall asleep to - it’s mostly in the audio mixing. #1 and #4 especially sound like the kind of whispering I hate, the kind that is much too harsh and poppy to relax to.
