Why scooping the mids is BAD

I don’t know. I mean, his own website states he is deserving of the NOBEL PRIZE!!!
How wonderful! He's transposing popular music to the 528 magic frequency. I can't wait to replace my whole iTunes library.

In the world of weightlifting, this sort of thing is known as bro science.
Scooped mids (done sensibly) has its place in certain styles and genres of music. But, for many genres/styles, a strong midrange is the key to good tone. Personally, I love me a "full bodied" bass tone where everything from top to bottom is evenly present.
I'm not watching that video, however.

I made it to 1:45 when he stated there were 6 solfeggio notes. Leaving aside all the other tonal scales in mankind's music, he got a HUGE fact wrong. I feel confident in dismissing the rest.
Well, then you missed the part where he equates the DNA double helix to a Tesla coil. Classic stuff.
You guys refuse to admit the earth is flat because of this very frequency.
Back in the 80s (when, coincidentally, I was scooping the heck out of my mids, as one did at the time) all the New Age grifters had all the hippies talking about something called the Harmonic Convergence. Nobody really knew what it meant, but apparently it had something to do with the Age of Aquarius. (IMO gen x hippies were just mad they missed the 60s and wanted their own Summer of Love.)
Anyway, one of the guys in the band had an old, trashed blues harp he wanted to rejuvenate, so he boiled it. Not sure where he got they idea, but suffice it to say, it was a bad one.
The wood swelled and made the harp unplayable.
This event came to be known as the Harmonica Deconvergence.
His aura always did seem to attract disaster.

If you think it’s bad, try liking it. Then it won’t be as bad.
I thought everybody knew this. Plus, at 528hz, your tinfoil hat vibrates in sympathy and really makes your ears feel funny. Wait a minute, lemme shut the window, I can't hear a thing for those damn black helicopters . . . .
And we're all enthralled by everything you say, rocco. Do go on. Say something else fascinating.
"528 Hz frequency has been determined to be the nearly the precise center of the entire electromagnetic color spectrum."
Only 10 seconds in and already wrong (it's roughly 595 terahertz). This is gonna be fun one!

Well, he does say there’s “massive amounts of evidence.” Anytime someone says there’s massive amounts of evidence for something absurd, but doesn’t provide any, I’m inclined to believe them. Sure, what could possibly go wrong?
