I'm just gonna toss it here if I were to
go the length of this wire this might
look like a tingle right but watch but
nothing today I want to show you how to
do the over-under technique for properly
wrapping an audio cable if you don't
properly store your audio cables over
time you're going to get wear and tear
on the wires on the inside and nobody
wants that everybody wants their gear to
last forever if you're following on your
phone or on your computer
I just want to do it from a first
person's point of view that way you can
do the same movements as my hands I'm
right-handed so I'm gonna put the XLR
cable or whatever cable you're using
have it in your non-dominant hand going
out from you when showcasing this
technique it'll be a little different
whether you start doing an over or an
under so what I like to do is start
bringing together at the cable and see
how that feels as it goes into my other
hand so to start off with get a little
bit and see see how this cable just kind
of turned as I brought it towards my
right hand
it's coiling it for you there the proper
way so from here that was kind of what
would be considered an under because
this part turned I don't want to confuse
you right off the bat but that's kind of
what I do is I just kind of put them
together and then let this thing do what
it needs to do and you want this to hang
so somewhat freely now as I bring this
gonna get some more bring it in
like this and I didn't do anything to
the cable there all I did was get more
cable and let it just kind of rest into
place how it needs to this next part is
a confusing part for most people and it
is the under part and let me show you
what happens if you just try and do that
same thing where you just go and let the
cable rest as it goes in
notice this curve that's happening right
here that is what you would get on those
old-school dial-up phones if anybody
remembers that this kind of curve and
you're going against the grain here so
what you need to do to combat that
notice it's happening again is you go
under so you kind of flick the wrist
meaning with my wrists right here I'm
going like this and I'm turning it what
would that be clockwise I'm flicking the
wrist with it in my hand like this so
with it coming in I'm following the
motion of the chord so flick like that
and notice that I kind of sits perfectly
in the wire let me show you again so as
it comes in you kind of go underneath
the cable and you will see the cable
will just rest on your hands like this
so under what the flick of the wrist
next one is over and with this one I
have it in my hand and I'm kind of just
turning it into place as it rests and
see same thing it wants to go under so
flick the wrist kind of boom over under
over under over if you did it properly
you should be able to let this go and
have no tangles whatsoever I'm just
gonna toss it here and if I were to go
the length of this wire this might look
like a tangle right let me grab this end
but watch but nothing another thing to
point out too is when you're finished
you don't want to take one of the ends
and put it through the loop because if
you do you'll end up with tangles like
this if you have cable ties wrap it up
at the very end and hang it up let me
run it back one more time okay so in
your hand start with it just see what it
wants to do looks like it wants to do it
under so I'm just gonna let it turn in
my hand like this and now actually this
would be an over
oh no so right now it's if you see it
doing this little u-shape you know it
wants to curve and do an under so do the
under over
under over under over now I'm lost track
under and over same thing and again if I
do throw this it should have no tangles
in it I don't really recommend people
throwing it against hardwood floor but I
just want to showcase to you that there
are no tangles in this wire after I've
wrapped it correctly don't forget to
