Keep Spinning That Vinyl!

The humans that invented the record deserve alot of credit. Its very complex especially for such an old technology

[Orangeflava]

So if I have a blank record I can just etch grooves in it and potentially create a musical masterpiece? I just find it astonishing that simply making grooves in vinyl can replicate drums, bass, vocals, etc

[mertygdogs]

This is great. I've always wanted to know how a record player works. And now I still have absolutely no idea.! Thanks!

[IroquoisPliskin]

So, since every single explanation of how grooves on a piece of plastic become music makes it all sound even more complicated, I'm just going to assume that it's magic.

[sarahp]

No matter how many videos I watch on how to understand these, I will never understand. I do not comprehend lmao

[XAGR-hnqt]

Yeah I still don’t understand how little groves make certain sounds and how that sound has different tones 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m actually more confused than before 😂

[stKills]

How tf do they record for a record though?

[liham.]

This is so interesting. I've always wondered how they worked. My guess was that there were ridges but had no idea how they were interpreted. Thank you so much for this simple explanation

[cannabisenthusiast]

I would’ve loved to see the faces of the individuals who tried over & over to make this happen and finally make it happen

[tonyb]

so some sounds waves sound like a guitar and some sound waves sound like like Leonel Richie? needs more explanation.

[SuperScam]

i just binge watched every video of yours. I'm just getting into vinyl and these are by far the best videos I've come across. :) definitely going to give a sub

[joebudi]

How is soprano, bass, vocals, etc etched in the plastic? How does the plastic hold the memory of the sounds? I get vibration, but how are different frequencies keep inside the PVC groove? In the groove, you have a singer a guitarist, drummer, all at the same time but the diamond going over the pastic can then separate those individual sounds? I just don't get it.

[maxkanaszka]

DANG IT MAN. I was doing so good studying but I JUST HAD TO go on YouTube. "Oh look a Vinyl Eyezz video Ive never seen i would be so delighted to watch this." I SAID THIS 20 MINUTES AGO MAN. NOW IM STUCK IN YOUTUBE PRISON THANKS TO YOU.

[TheBelieveit]

Could have saved time by telling us it's Dark Magic

[jussy]

If you are confused: Just imagine the grooves on a vinyl record as a soundwave, because it is basically a soundwave cutted into the record. And a soundwave contains alreade all the sounds, for example the beat, the melody, the instruments, the vocal at the same time. Also the needle goes left right and up and down

[FunkyMooseRecords]

Excellent video Jarrett. I wanted to do a video like this myself for people new to record collecting, but I don't think I could've explained it better in simple terms.

[Pengroves]

I understand how the grooves in the record translate to sound but I don’t understand how each groove is able to capture multiple different overlapping tones at the same time such as vocals, bass, and guitar that are being played simultaneously

[michaelbruce]

A technical correction. In a stereo cartridge the moving element, in this case a moving magnet, is at the focal point of a 90 degree triangle where adjacent and opposite lines are made up of two sensing coils. Movement in the left track will cause the moving element to move toward and away from the left coil thus changing the magnetic flux coil and causing an induced electric current in it. As it is moving to and fro vis a vis the left coil it must then be moving accross the right coil. However, such movement will not alter the magnetic flux in the right sensor coil and therefore no current will be induced into it. For this to work as faithfully as possible, the moving element must be positioned exactly at the focal point of the two sensors. This is one of the reasons why tracking force is so important. Too light ot too heavy and the moving element will be out of position.

I've just finished a rewatch of the final episode of the anime Dr. Stone, in which they create a rudimentary record player from stone age materials, and I was left with wanting to understand the base principle of how it works more clearly, so I ended up on this video. I've got to say, I don't think I could find anything that's easier to understand than this; you've really explained in simple terms and simple illustrations, and it made it so easy to understand. I can now go to bed having learned yet another cool thing, thanks to you! ^^

This is a great video about "Stereo" records. You should do one about "Mono" and "Quad". The Quadrophonic system (very short lived) was quite complicated. Not only did the needle (stylus) move side to side, but up and down. The effect was amazing. Many artists actually recorded completely different versions of their albums for the Quad releases. The whole system was an early production of "Surround Sound" If you ever get a chance to hear one, it's quite a thrill. Unfortunately there were too many bugs in the format, and it just died away. There were also "Quad 8-tracks" which used 4 tracks instead of 2 for the recording, so instead of 4 playing positions, there were only 2. These sounded great in a car, and had your ears spinning around the passenger compartment. Again a short lived format.
