All About Diffusion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- This is a newer HD render of the RealTraps video demonstrating diffusion.
Most people have no way to hear what diffusors do or how they sound in a room. So this video explains diffusion in plain terms with no math, then lets you hear an acoustic guitar recorded in close proximity to five different surface types - a "well" diffusor, a poly diffusor, absorption, a bare wall, and a typical bookcase.
If you have technical questions about this video that require a reply, please do not post them here as comments. UA-cam is not a good venue for a technical exchange. Instead, please post your questions in the Acoustics section of my Audio Expert forum:

i truly love how hard he's rocking those two chords
Those 2 chords sound the same as from a song that had a rather famous copyright lawsuit.
There I thought you were referring to the eyebrows, but yes chords too.
@@VEC7ORlt damn ya beat me to it
@@jcisme Those two chords are Em and A Major. They form the basis of thousands of songs.
@@VEC7ORlt definately ...!
i love these old skool guys, they are so honest, knowledgeable and thorough!
WOW the diffuser brought the guitar to life. Much more definition and energy.
Ethan, you ROCK!
I've studied acoustics since 1978 and testify your videos are BAR FAR the most concise presentation of acoustic science.
he absolutely rocks!!!!!
He's the best man. He makes himself accessible to all of us because he truly loves the science!
I laughed at the Acoustic Books joke.
Same :)
he seemed slightly pleased to make the gag
i know right XD, really helpful otherwise
I was a lot more excited than I thought I should be...
acoustic book. hahaha
I've lurked on the gearslutz forum for years and always knew Ethan was a man that knew his stuff, but the man can also get on video and explain everything eloquently in easy to understand terms, with visual representations. One thing is for sure, room treatment is vastly over looked and underrated. When I was younger I tried everything I could to get around having to CORRECTLY treat my recording spaced etc, but once I took the time to soak up the knowledge online and put in some time building some DIY absorbers etc, my mind was made up real quick. Top notch video, even 6 years after the fact.
Thanks!
This explanation reinforced by the guitar comparison demonstrations at the end was superb!!! Really terrific!
Thanks!
This is a true masterpiece of a learning video. Great job
Once in a while you find educative videos that are more focused on actually learning something than just entertainment....
You rarely see such a professional person visibly passionate about his subject these days. I enjoyed this video a lot.
Thanks Alex.
By far the most in depth informative video I've seen on diffusion yet.
THEE single best video I've ever watched to explain diffusion. Thanks man, great work.
7:07 acoustics books joke was hilarious
I really learned from this. I like that you put different kinds of acoustic treatment to the test like this in an A/B listening - thanks :-)
Thats exactly the style of explanation in a nutshell i was looking for all over the internet. Thank you very much!
Thanks, and you're welcome!
Ethan Winer is truly THE BEST!! Thank you so much for this. It helps that so many acoustics books have been written, to help treat the finest studios!
I don't know what i enjoyed more about this video. The huge amount of good information, the dad jokes, or the dudes disgust for poly diffusers. Well done Ethan, you made a masterpiece
The most useful information I’ve found in 12 and a half minutes on UA-cam. Thanks a million!!
The most concise explanation of diffusion I have seen on YT. Thanks for this.
It really helps to close my eyes while listening to these demos on my headphones.. I'm surprised the differences are so easily noticeable. I noticed the QRD sounded the "harshest" on both my tablet and my headphones.
Excellent demonstration. Thanks.
Why is this guy not an awesome meme yet?
people who have listened to him are busy treating their rooms
@@Dm3qXY Ohhhh shit! lmfao
cuz 12 year olds don't hang around here
@@ByGraceThroughFaith777 Yes they do, it's UA-cam.
@@QoraxAudio No, they don't watch these types of videos...
if I can do 15 mn of Ethan's videos everyday, I can defend my PhD thesis in acoustic / math by next xmas. I am in IT.
Thanks very much for the informative video! It's given me a better understanding of the role diffusion plays in control rooms, and in recording situation. I particularly appreciate the simple, very useful A/B comparisons.
Glad to know Flutter Echo is the name for why a house sounds different inside when you move all your stuff out that was acting as diffusers and informal absorption surfaces
At last - a chap who knows what he's talking about. ESPECIALLY at the end with the A/B demo... THANK THANK YOU!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Finally, someone who truly knows what he’s talking about.
Thanks.
One well deserved like from me. I can see you know, what you are talking about, and the way you explain the inner workings of an acoustic science is both information dense and easy to understand. Well done.
Thanks Juraj.
Thank you for the actual demo of the subject. Theory & fact are great but then adding actual application and demonstration is the way to teach. Subscribed !
Ethan, thank you so much for this. Superb knowledge sharing and great practical audible examples. This is a gem of a video. Subscribed.
The man is straight to the point with no embellishing , dramatics like some of the other clowns . Thanks Ethan
This video comes like on order. Excellent video bringing together the pieces I already know with the right exprience, use in small rooms. Thanks
A very good and helpful demonstration. Thank you.
wow, so much info and demos, thank you.
best YT video i've seen in a while, i'd highly recommend this course instructor to future students. :)
Excellent video, this guy really knows his stuff. Thanks for the info!
this is my new favorite person
Such useful information, Thanks a lot Ethan
Fantastic demo!! The QRD device clearly sounds the best... I'm strictly a voice over guy so I much prefer a DEAD room as apposed to a LIVE one.... And no doubt for musicians diffusion makes a LOT of sense!
One thing I can say is that nobody who has watched this video ever doubted that this guy is an expert in acoustics.
There used to be a gigantic bookshelf in my mixing room. In fact it covered all of my back wall except for like a foot near the ceiling.Filled with all kinds of books (small large and inbetween) The day It was taken away from my room OH BOY did it sound nasty.
Who's stealing your books? Who hurt you?
had fantastic results with mine
There are some cases of well known sound engineers using bookshelf in their studio as part of their absorption/diffuser components and seems to work well for them.
Thank you for imparting valuable knowledge.
Thank you so much! It's really helpful for me to decide what kinds of acoustic treatment for my recording booth.
I appreciate your honesty about diffusion for small rooms. Thank you
This is the best and the most informative video I’ve ever watched on acoustic diffusers..thank you for sharing such valuable information..❤
Wow, thanks!
Great and eye opening video . Thank you for your knowledge.
Thanks Ethan, this was a real treat.
Book cases are actually great to have at the rear of your control room, not to be underestimated! Especially in a small home studio.
very clear explanation, love your videos!!
greetings from Agentina Ethan!
This is an excellent informative video. Ethan is a true pro!
I'm only about 4.5 minutes in, you haven't started a demo yet, but this video is GREAT! Lots of good info.
Finally an YT video that clearly illustrates acoustic treatment. I finally have a better idea on what to do with my home studio.
Amazing quality of knowledge. Am humbled and very thankful
All time favorite acoustics walkthrough!!! Thank you very much!!!
Outstanding explanations and demos. Thank you
Absolutely masterful presentation - thanks!
great explanation and great examples - thanks for that!
Incredible presentation and information.
Thank you!
Excelent video! now I'm decided where to put a pair of diffusors to enhance my drums recordings! thank u very much for using ur time for us with making this video! really appreciate it! :)
The final back-to-back-to-back demonstration was VERY helpful.
Excellent demonstration. Thank you!
To the point and no bullshit. Great video! Subbed.
Awesome education accoustic class with lots of precise information for sound enthusiast
10:11 holy shit, that sounded beautiful
It"s the acoustics books fam
I'm listening on a Bluetooth box that is also my grotbox, the bookcase isn't nearly as good as the qrd, but better than the inside of the poly and way better than wall and absorber at scattering usable highs towards the mic. There was some dose of myth busting here, but I'm glad that I'm stuck with our giant Billy full of crap behind my listening position.
Great stuff, Ethan!
You're Da Man old friend !!! .... Thanx for sharing your wealth of knowledge with everyone Ethan !! Love this ... you've been a big help in my trying to figure out my new SMALL room in FL :-) ... Hope all is well !!! Chris T.
Thanks Chris.
Wow... This video is pure gold... Thank You!!!
The best video on this topic. Thank you!
First video, that actually shows the effect of diffusing... and super helpful
Fantastic guitar head movement, A+
Super informative. Thanks for the upload.
A lot of information packed in your presentation. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT video, good content, to the point, agile, with good information, thanks
Thank you for the concise info. Very helpful.
Wow, very educational and easy to understand. Exceptional presentation!
Thanks!
I loved the ventriloquist dummies in the corner watching along with the demo. Bravo, you truly are informed and unique.
Thanks for your comments, Edward. The puppets were made by my friend Robert Rogers, who does that for a living:

I saw "diffusion" and thought I was getting a video about semiconductors... but the quality of the presentation held my interest.
Thanks! Clear, concise, useful.
Giggled at the book joke;). Laughed out loud when the headbanging started! Very informative and entertaining. You tha man Ethan!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video, so well explained, and on top of this, the phenomenon being described (flutter echo, comb resonance etc.) is actually shown (or more importantly heard!) Very useful information!
Glad it was helpful!
bookshelves ARE excellent i have to say - they worked a treat for me - especially when they have built in traps
I'm changing the acoustic of my studio and wasn't sure about what kind of diffusers to get...Had polystyrene ones, less than half-inch depth.... With your demonstrations am gonna get the QRD's straight away! Thanks a lot Ethan for sharing your knowledge with us!!!! think the best video on youtube found so far :)
Glad to, thanks.
Great video Ethan!
A masterclass - Sound Teacher... Learnt something today.
why aren't more youtube tutorial vids this informative and organized?
Great video. Good explanations. Thanks! 👍
I always question people who say "how do people not know this video". This is the first time I agree . I am weirded out by the sub count. Wish you many more in the future
Thanks Guido.
I respect what you’re trying to do. It’s hard to get people to understand how much it matters. Which is why it’s so easy to go broke trying to do it.
Great explanation and presentation of examples. Thanks for going to all the trouble to make this. Y
This was really helpfull !! next up is calculating my own realtrap
I learned so much and what a great presentation! Thanks! Great playing by the way
Thanks.
This is a really awesome video! It inspired me and my friend to build 4 29well(25cm deep) qrd diffusers for our studio.
How did that work out?
Great! Very informative.
love this video. love the effort. thank you very much for uploading
Thanks!
Excellent video. Where do I get one of these "bookcases"
EXCELENTE!! muy bien explicado!!!
That book case sounds amazing!
Informative video, thank you!
best explanation for a diyer on home / commercial studio setup.
Thanks, very good explanation on what works and not.....
