Practicing phase alignment with Nathan Lively

Sound Design Live

Understanding what’s going on with your sound system can be very difficult without any data. Knowing how to use that data takes practice though & it can seem like a steep learning curve. If you haven’t seen Nathan or Sound Design Live online already, it’s a great podcast & resource for pro audio knowledge.

In this video, as he often does on his channel, Nathan takes viewer submitted alignment measurement data and talks though different approaches to utilizing it. What does it mean? How can software help visualize solutions? What to do next? Surprisingly perhaps, you don’t need a ton of expensive gear or software to get started either. Free software like Room EQ Wizard & almost any speakers you’ve got are good enough to practice and experiment with.

Nathan’s work building Sound Design Live is all about helping others learn & explore audio through data and repeatable methods. He’s got a workshop coming up on March 14 & 15th, 2021, but you should get tickets now if you’d like to attend. Check out Nathan’s YouTube Channel & if you subscribe, tell him DcSoundOp sent you.
