Soooo many youtube audio tutorials full of people that have no idea what they are doing and just throw a bunch of effects on their audio tracks. This was excellent, knowledgeable and to the point. Good job.
All these months later, on my filmmaking journey, I find myself rewatching this video, knowing now how important audio is. Thanks so much Gene. Def. subscribing to Alex's channel. He is a brilliant communicator and teacher.
I have been using Premiere for decades - This is probably the most important learning I have had in a long time - I rarely use any audio edits because I never knew how to use them so all my audio work is done in the recording with good mics, good technique and great preamps and accessories so my audio edit is minimal. This has been a great and fantastic lesson and it has allowed me to be more confident in the premiere recording when I need that extra tool to save an audio file in my videos. Thankyou!
taterjetter, I have absolutely crushed a good 20 of your videos this past week. Don't ever worry about being grating, your content is crazy educational and easy to binge consume... even for someone with heavy adhd. you've got a great hosting personality, Keep making good shit my dude!
Love Alex's channel. Straight to the point and great info. Great to see the two of you together working on improving fart audio recordings. This is what I've been looking for.
Probably the best tutorial for getting better at audio fine-tuning on the internet, in the classic PotatoJet style. Thank you very much for the quality content. I owe you a cookie mate. 💖
This is where UA-cam needs a ‘really, REALLY like’ thumb! So much info in these 20 minutes and Alex is amazing (plus the way he looks at the camera is eerily reassuring)
Great work on getting Alex on, it is great to see a video/film/camera channel get on someone who actually knows sound/audio, most video channels tend to just do it themselves without really understanding/knowing anything technical about sound/audio. Great work.
Worth the price of admission just for the parametric EQ demo. I'm in the train to work right now where I will immediately be sitting down to some voice editing in Audition and I know I will apply this technique today.
Thx a lot Bro Potato!!! I´m like to her your native English speaking, because it`s very clean and understandable for me as foreigner! Greeting from a Russian bear, which lives in Cologne-Germany, actually Ì´m from Saint-Petersburg-Russia. Many success and health for you and your friends!!!
Potato: Hey Alex thank for coming to do this video! Alex: My pleasure! Potato: We're going to record my fart. Alex: Wait, WHAT??? Potato: *locks the door*
Great conversation - I'm glad you brought up headphones, they are ultra important. Most people don't realize why It's best to get headphones that have a Flat Response. You don't want to edit any sounds or music with heavy bass marketed headphones for production, they are made for the end result alone.
I searched for a video about this and clicked on the shortest video I could find because I was frustrated and just wanted to quickly get the information I needed. The audio of them explaining it was terrible right off the bat- which is terrible if you're making a video ABOUT audio. Then one minute in, I saw your video in the corner suggested to me. Saw that it was 20 minutes long. But saw that it was you. And clicked it instead. I hope you know that theres people out here that value your wisdom more than the convenience of a quick video. I feel so much more confident in doing my own mixing now, and I know that these 20 minutes have been a powerful investment into the next 20 years of my filmmaking. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Potato jet, I have had really shitty birthdays in the last decade of my life. This year I decided to spend my b day doing nothing. I just got done with a long production schedule. But even though I have to get to post for the rest of the year. I am truly enjoying spending my B day just chilling and watching your videos today. Thank you for giving me a chill B day for once!
This is such a cretive way of teaching things!!! I seariously learn a lot from you and the best part is that it’s actually fun to watch lol thanks for the awesome video Gene
Wow I’ve been needing this video! I’ve been looking on UA-cam for months for a video like this and haven’t found anything close to as helpful and informative as this
This was an awesome and very useful video. Alex explained everything so well. I actually subscribed to Alex's channel from the last great video with Potato Jet.
4:30 It should be noted that the big studios (or even big budget indies) may use lavs, because all dialogue may be re-recorded in a ADR session for the whole movie anyway, so no need to restrict the cinematography by having to work around a boom guy/pole...
These videos are really entertaining 😂 You two are a good combination on camera. Also super informative which is the reason I'm here in the first place!
A set up from closed-back headphones. Is open-back headphones. High Pass = Let's the highs pass (Low Cut) Low Pass = Let's the low pass (High Cut) That's how I think of it. You can also do a boost and sweep to find those bad frequencies.
I walked (rolled away in computer chair) informed. I thank you both. The lav info with the e.q. run down was spot on. These industry standards of practice will raise the game for Our UA-cam community Potato is at the for front of the _Cinema standard of practice knowledge dropping Game. -if I may say. Most Creators Focus on niches with in niches (photography/ Dslrs/ canon) But it is in my opinion that this channel fills in all the blank spots ( Cinema/ all things) this is a micro scope on the planet of creation. opposed to say a telescope on a town..
A.Hitchcock: "[...] Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the public knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware the bomb is going to explode at one o'clock and there is a clock in the decor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions, the same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene. The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: "You shouldn't be talking about such trivial matters. There is a bomb beneath you and it is about to explode!" I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting for the fart to come. Gene - learning from the best.
Didn't expect to see Serj Tankian here. I love old SOAD albums!
Attaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Exactly what I thought hahahaha
I thought I was the only one hahahaha...
Lol.

Gene and Alex this is such a great and useful video for people! Well done! :)
what a helpful video - wow i wish i had this when i was starting youtube
I have been using Premiere for decades - This is probably the most important learning I have had in a long time - I rarely use any audio edits because I never knew how to use them so all my audio work is done in the recording with good mics, good technique and great preamps and accessories so my audio edit is minimal.

Serj Tankian explaining basics of audio is exactly what I needed to see today :D

I don't know why I just can't stop laughing at it.
This is where UA-cam needs a ‘really, REALLY like’ thumb! So much info in these 20 minutes and Alex is amazing (plus the way he looks at the camera is eerily reassuring)
This is the best video I've seen on this subject. Real nice work guys.
Great work on getting Alex on, it is great to see a video/film/camera channel get on someone who actually knows sound/audio, most video channels tend to just do it themselves without really understanding/knowing anything technical about sound/audio. Great work.
Alex's deadpan @0:50 is probably the best part of this video
You're HILARIOUS dude!! On a serious note, this is probably the best audio tutorial out there.

This is one of the BEST tutorials on audio editing, something that I've been searching a lot. Thanks guys, really cool!

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen!
Yesss perfect! Again Fun and instructive :) Loveee it Potato Jet!
You guys are hilarious! This could've easily been boring af, but ended up entertaining af.
HUGE difference with every step!!! 🤯🤯🤯
This potato is quick.
Back to back videos.

The most useful tutorial for any audio work. Thank you for this.
Wow I’ve been needing this video! I’ve been looking on UA-cam for months for a video like this and haven’t found anything close to as helpful and informative as this
11:03 Potato bent over table "I guess you can never pull it out completely" as Alex is inspecting him from behind....
DUUUUUUUUDEE. THIS WAS FIRE, Already knew about working on audio but this is so good.
The best video on audio I've seen on UA-cam! Thanks!
Best compressor explanation I've seen in a long time, thank you!
Potato Jet, This is the best effect ever, on one of your video, "That Wave" I will love to Surf it!
LITERALLY THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED FOR WEEKS! LEARNED SO MUCH! THANK YOU ALEX!
That’s really well done actually. One of the few accurate EQing videos on UA-cam.
This is the only channel that i watch that there is no intro
I honestly had missed such educative videos man, thanks Gene. We highly appreciate.
Currently working on a project and applied some of these techniques... What a difference! Thanks for putting out such easy to digest tutorials.
Alex Knickerbocker, what a mad lad.
Love ur show! Thank you for technical support! 😁
This is extremely helpful and could save me tons of money for a new mic! lol
The mommies out there are shedding a tear on this one
I was waiting for video like this for years!
Carrie: "I want one of Gene's farts as my ringtone."
THAT is love. Put a ring on it Gene. It doesn't get better than that.
Awesome video Gene, very helpful. Thanks man!
You turn the better knob up then hit the feel button! Great topic!!
Did Potato just invent a new word? "Chillaxed" 15:22 Like it a lot :D
Alex got 12,000 subs now - nice work POTATO JET :)
This is one of those videos that you need to save and come back and reference when working. Nice work PJ 👌
11:42 🤣 Oh shit this had me in stitches. Kickenburger is the man.
This completely demystified EQ and compression for me. THANK YOU GENE. I subbed to Alex, he seems equally hilarious.
This guy is seems like just a fountain of audio knowledge and experience, really cool to see how he uses even a simple tools
I needed this, its painful listening back to my speaking videos 😂
Haven’t even watched the video yet, but this is the EXACT content I need right now! Thank you for this, can’t wait to watch it!
Thanks so much for this, this is incredible content. 💛
This is one of those videos that I'm going to have bookmarked and will rewatch every time I edit audio. Thank you so much for making it!
Nice. Love the new content. Keep it UP. UPload more, since I finished binge watching all of your videos, thrice.
This channel is really on the up and up.
I love how Alex stares into my soul.
This is like the 10th time I watched this video in the last few months and alex's yelled "precisely" catches me every time😄
Can't stop laughing 😄
This was an awesome and very useful video. Alex explained everything so well. I actually subscribed to Alex's channel from the last great video with Potato Jet.
One day I will make you a real Jet made of Potato, to say thank you for all your greatness!
Love your work mate!! Keep it rolling
21 MINUTES but so mush to learn ,keep going
Good stuff, just subscribed to Alex's channel, some really helpful videos there!
Thanks for doing this video. I have been learning a lot from Alex but it was good to see how to do it with the software that I use
"Precisely!" got me crackin
Seriously very interesting and helpful video lads.
This isn't even a subject I'm concerned about yet I found this video very interesting and engaging. Thanks to you both.

oh man, what a useful vid. thanks to you and Alex!
A set up from closed-back headphones. Is open-back headphones.
High Pass = Let's the highs pass (Low Cut)
Low Pass = Let's the low pass (High Cut)
That's how I think of it.
You can also do a boost and sweep to find those bad frequencies.
Super helpful. Been working on improving my audio in my videos. Thanks guys. Great work! 👍🏼
Love this guys dry humour
Love your channel potato! 👊
Just what I needed to hear for the video I am working on now! Thanks
Hahahahaa you want to record your "ring" tone as a ring tone... baaaahaaahaaa that's gold!!
FYI: In Australia we nickname a butt hole as "your ring" if that makes more sense lol
As a video person this definitely gave me a lot of insight in audio! Thanks a lot!
I've spent most the day working on audio on about 20 videos today in Premier Pro, this was a great timing video. Thanks!
Okay I low-key needed this lol. Not that my dailog is bad, I am just a perfectionist.
Thank you for your many lessons, Serj Tankian.
I didn't understand head or tail about this video. But saw it all and didn't skip the advertisement.
Regards

Excellent stuff guys. Thank You.
13:06 Gene acts like me in class while the professor is lecturing (making hand gestures, to distract myself)
I walked (rolled away in computer chair) informed.
I thank you both.
The lav info with the e.q. run down was spot on.

I learned more in your video than in 5 hours youtube resarch. thank you, now my shure sounds like a shure
Dude this video is very helpful, definitely using this in my future videos.
This is so helpful. Thanks @potatojet and @alexknickerbocker
Potato making those waves reminded me of sitting on the backseat as a kid with my arm out the window. Great tips in this vid - thanks! :-D
Bringing in industry folks is always a great idea; good stuff.
Very informative and professional advice!
Best line “how dare you call my voice irritating” HAHA 😂
I subscribed to Alex because of his audio mastery but mostly bec of Gen. More of this pls. 😊
Love it! Great leasson! I really needed it!
At 7:24 I think this sounds fine already and processing is unnecessary unless you have a specific reason to do so like making it fit in a mix.

Cool and nice to see your arm better
