How To Use A Record Player & Tricks You Can Do!

This is a very indepth video on how to use a record player! Incase youre wondering, My record player is:

- BAYTONE BT 37MC

Beware: Dont buy Crosleys even though they are so aesthetic. They are poor quality. That is why I grabbed this one up instead, it has a better quality needle (plus has more features for the same price)

Hope you enjoyed this! I also have a 1980s boom box, a 1980s turntable for DJ-ing, a 1950s radio, and a 1950s record player. ALL authentic! Comment down below which one you want me to show next!

The amount of times I’ve put a record on and have had my cousins change the speed because it sounds like ‘the chipmunks’ dear god

[VampFaye]

OMG.
I grew up with record players and never even thought that today's generation had no idea how to use one. Love how vintage this player looks! I checked the specs and love how it converts to mp3s without a computer!

Best way to handle a record is by its edges.

[nostalgia]

0:40 I was raised in the vinyl and polyethylene (some 45s) era, and one thing you should never do is handle the record with your fingers. You take the record in both hands, with the palms touching the edges. Too many fingerprints dull the sound of the record and sometimes may cause "skips". Good demonstration though!

Such a simple video but an absolute masterclass on how to make such videos. Thank you!

The way she’s holding it on the grooves is making me uncomfortable.

[jeremiahlasola]

I'm a record collector and I find this a spot-on instruction! Although the way you hold the record is improper. The record should be handled on the edge or on the label to prevent the record grooves on collecting dirt from your hands. :)

Anyway, this is a great channel and now I hit the Subscribe!

[axeliaa]

[crystalball]

[xMiniMiss]

You know you're getting old when you ask yourself why anyone would need a tutorial! Haha

[annalise_cc]

Omg! Thank you so much! I have been wanting to learn how to use a record player for awhile now, so this was super useful! I love this channel😀😀😀

im 15 and I‘m really interested in these I‘m scared that if I get one of these I‘ll break them lmao

[DougMcDave]

Oooh, do not touch the playing surface with your fingers! Oil from the skin can attract dust, which causes that annoying crackle. It could also cause premature wear of the stylus/needle. Instead, handle the record by the outside edge and label.

[pcallas]

Don't put a quarter over your headshell. One thing that I do is take weight off of the tone arm. I don't know why I had luck with that, but it definitely works for me. I'm not sure if there's a counterweight adjustment spring in the back of your tonearm or not. Also, the other thing that may be going on is some of those needles on these type of players will put a 1.0 mil. If you can replace the needle for your record player with a 0.7 mil stylus, it will track much better as well. It may also be a sapphire stylus instead of a diamond. If you replace it, make sure you get the correct diamond replacement as well. It will last much longer. Your setup does sound good.

I just got my first record player so this really helped thanks, Jessica.

[andonlyamazon]

Thanks for this video. You are the first person that I ever heard tell people to give your video a thumbs down if they don’t like it😂
