In our fifth episode of “The UJAM Podcast”, Wolfram Knelangen talks to the Canadian YouTuber Sarah Feldman about her channel ”Sounds Good”. Sarah is a musician and studied the analytical side of sound, hearing and psychoacoustics. Explaining topics like physical modelling, music notation or “The most advanced musical instrument: the voice” on her channel. She has some good advice for existing and future YouTubers. Wolfram and Sarah also chat about industry gossip in “Fly or Fail?!” and shamelessly plug the newest UJAM release: Virtual Drummer BRUTE.
