Why scooping the mids is BAD

I read " ... is the devil" and thought of Bobby Boucher's momma and moved on.

Oh good Lord. Theosophy masquerading as science.

Nth degree Psycho babble. He didn't actually say anything substantive, present any real evidence or draw any conclusions. Although it is nice to know I'm 86% "God water". So there's that.

You guys refuse to admit the earth is flat because of this very frequency.

If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off it by now.

So, the interval of a tritone is so dissonant that extended exposure to it can kill you?

Well, this man is doing his part to save us from all of those "jazzy" intervals.

You mean this tritone?

I listened to this video on a road trip today and I loved it. Excellent entertainment, I was laughing the whole time.

I trademarked that frequency 10 years ago. That guy owes me $50 every time he tries to sell it.

 

[Auggieinks]

Ahh Krapp... he just sold it to me with a badass wooden bridge down in the glades

I made it about 15 seconds. Units are arbitrary. Numbers matching gets into numerology stupidity. No thanks!

I guess we we can now figure out King David’s secret chord.

 

[Bartrinsic]

The numerology is off, sadly. All important sound wavelengths are exponents of 2, either whole exponents or fractional multiples of 1/2, such as 2^9, 2^9.5, 2^9.25, 2^9.125 == 558.339959125! Hozanna! Eureka! 2^(9 1/8) is GOD'S frequency! He almost unlocked the deepest secrets of the universe; if only he had a clue about the importance of scales!

It's like listening to someone at 5 am at a warehouse party as the shrooms are wearing off

528 Hz as a "color frequency"? Huh? You can't see electromagnetic waves (those waves that are light at MUCH higher frequencies) that operate at 528 Hz. Red light (the lowest frequency you can see), is 4.3 x 10 to the fourteenth power in Hz. If you want to know the universe's natural frequency, it's probably more related to the resonant frequency of hydrogen atoms (most of the universe is hydrogen). There, we're talking Giga Hertz - much lower than light, but much higher than what this guy is talking about.

By the way, 432 Hz (one of the previous "magic frequency" theories) is between a minor and major third away from 528. Both of these numerical theories can't be right.

The graphics are cool. The rest is fabrication, at best.

Mic guy I may have said this before, but I frequently enjoy your posts. About VVT blending issues, about how low B string gauge, and about almost everything else. You are one smart guy.

Reminds me of some luthiers explanations of tonewoods.

Like PRS, for example. I think he's funny....

Thanks!

It's not electro-magnetic per se. For Nature's sonic frequency, you really need to fart nitrogen into a vacuum and measure the residual resonance in the container. It will be a Bass frequency!

I came across this video. Apparently 528 Hz is key to everything. Scooping your mids loses this frequency of course e.g. the Fender Rumble contour button drops it around 670 Hz. On the other hand, 741 Hz and 440 Hz is the devil and is promoted as a plot to make everyone sick for some reason so scooping those mids could be beneficial. I’m not sure.

At any rate this video discusses this but gets a little off topic and goes on and the narrator is very insistent about something or other.

The graphics are way cool and trippy.

Haha he said too much tritone can kill you.

From his web site:

"Deserving a Nobel Prize for Relaying the Most Provocative and Important Information in the World Today!"

OK, since when do they give out Nobel prizes for "relaying information"? He says he deserves a prize for saying stuff that other people have said - that's the lamest rationale for a prize I've ever heard.

I have this one guitar that sounds really sweet at A=428hz
