    How Do Record Players Work
    www.livescience.com/33793-reco...
    “The phonograph could record sound and play it back. The receiver consisted of a tin foil wrapped cylinder and a very thin membrane, called a diaphragm, attached to a needle. Sound waves were directed into the diaphragm, making it vibrate.”
    Do Records Really Sound Warmer Than CDs?
    mentalfloss.com/article/51704/...
    “Opinions aside, what we can all agree on is that there is indeed a difference in the sound that comes from vinyl versus that of digital media, both in the way it is produced and heard.”

      It's electricity.... The tiny grooves essentially create "waves" of sound. Inside the needle is a magnet and electricity, when the vinyl spins you put the needle on it, the needle rubs the grooves which generates electricity, that electrical pulse is sent to the record player's Amplifier then sound is generated. Keep in mind before ANY of this happens. music is recorded and mastered on Tape then transferred to vinyl.

      +XpertCameraMan In essence you can have a membrane, say, metal foil covering carbon (just to say something). That membrane will vibrate in different ways to the tune of ambient noises and if you attach a needle to an extreme of it you can make it scratch a softer surface (a rotating one so it doesn't overwrite). Later you can use another needle to go over the previously dug tracks and the scratches on those tracks will make the needle vibrate pretty much like the previous needle vibrated due to the foil-carbon membrane vibration. You can transfer this vibrations to wider and wider surfaces to amplify it's volume until it becomes audible. So put it simple, you are storing on a medium the mechanical twists required to produce specific vibrations.

    I write record and mix my own music, and have done so for years. When I started listening to vinyl again, what technically stood out for me was that I could hear the mid-range better. Specifically notes that were audible to me in mixes I'd long since gotten used to on CD. The first time I really heard it was Tool's Lateralus album. A fantastic piece of recording engineering to start with, it just POPPED out of that vinyl.
    Old records that I had stopped listening to on CD came back to life. They were badly mastered and the CD's ability to push out so much bass I think caused engineers to go crazy for awhile. Bass eats every other frequency in the mix so too much of it just crushes the energy of the mids (which are right next to it).
    That's why they sound warmer, coming back. Recorded bass should probably always be shelved off at 40hz, because below that you are only feeling notes you aren't hearing them.
    I say this as a bass player with a lifetime's frustration of mixing basses. It really is the case that you gotta take that super low frequency out or you won't hear any bass. Or any mid.

Vinyl holds more information than an mp3 or other formats like that as it replays back to tou levels sound and volume but form over performance is the way of this world now days, records might sound better but you cant put a turntable in your pocket :P

  • @tonyrod4388
    @tonyrod4388 9 днів тому

    When voice makes vibrations, it moves back and forth, if you put a needle on that "back and forth" then that needle punches a groove on the surface, and depending on how strong or weak the vibration is, the needle goes deeper or shallower on the surface of the MASTER copy. No actual sound is store, just a mark that, when scratched by the needle, reproduces the same sound that produced the mark. Think of the needle as your fingers on a guitar and of the grooves and ridges (the holes punched) as the surface where the stings lie or a hard comb with nail moving fast over each of them, producing that "clink" sound. It is just the stylus scraping the grooves and it actually sounds just like the sound that caused those groves to be made. HOPE THAT HELPS A LITTLE>

    The way I see it, is that I want the clearest, most "perfect" sound when listening to some great music. I want to be able to hear the instruments clearly, I want to hear the lyrics clearly, so that I can appreciate the music to the fullest (if you haven't figured it out by now, no, I'm definitely not talking about modern pop). Vinyl just isn't that perfect, there's all kinds of other noises that I don't want to hear, that weren't part of the original piece. Besides, still listening to vinyl is just kind of... hipster-ish. Although the points she mentioned in the video, about as to why someone chooses to listen to vinyl, are understandable.

      @mitchiemasha 9 років тому +2

      ***** the bumps in the grooves are on the sides of the grooves to varying degrees. The stylus in the cartridge doesn't detect in say an up down movement but more of to a slight left and right. That's why the bigger bumps, the bass bumps need to -sit more in the middle- be a horizontal movement (edit: I had my dual mono axis confused). Which still works well in the real world, bass coming from left and right in more of a stereo image rather than dual mono would create cancelling.
      The bumps in the middle would come out both speakers equally (but opposite polarity, cancelling), the bumps more to one side would come out that side (it might be the opposite side) more than the other.

    I grew up in the 1970's. We called them "Record Players" we called the vinyl discs "Records", or simply "Albums", we called the 45's "Singles" The recording on these records are the exact sound waves recorded onto master tapes in the Recording Studios. In manufacturing these "Records" a tin plate or metal plate was created with the grooves (sound waves) imprinted on them which then were used to press onto the vinyl as a machine pressed the tin or metal master onto a glob of heated vinyl pressing it into a 12" 33 1/2 rpm Record or a 7" 45 rpm Record. The sound from vinyl is much better than a digital code, download, compressed file or from a CD which its music information is pressed on to the CD similar to how a vinyl record is. However with the vinyl record you are practically reproducing the original music from the actual original recording via grooves pressed onto the vinyl which are the original studio sound waves of the recording. You don't get that pure great sound from today's music technology.

    does anybody know how to record music onto a Vinyl record? I'm releasing an album and am planning on buying a blank Vinyl record when I'm finished with it, so I can put my logo/album art in the place of the Vinyls blank label, and also make a inner and outer sleeve for it, and put it In a Vinyl frame to hang it on the wall; I'm not really 'planning' on listening to it, but it would be cool to actually have my music on it. If I can't then someone please tell me a company or two I can contact to get it released on Vinyl that way

    Everyone says vinyl sounds better, but I cant get past the grinding sound i hear instead of the music. Vocals are nearly impossible for me to hear over the gargling sounds.

    This doesn't answer the question though. You explained the grooves, yes, but i still dont get how the grooves cause the different sounds. If it's playing back a wave from the groove, how does this singular wave encompass and play back multiple waves produced by different instruments in a piece?

    Digital in in paper is superior to vinyl period. But vinyl has a signature sound which appeal to many people and is better recorded or pressed. CDs still superior that vinyl in paper, but due to poor recording vinyl are better than CDs. And the presentation in of the vinyl is way better than CDs, Cds come in a cheap plastic case are easy scrachables, Vinyl usually have an excellent presentation make you feel like you money was worth it.

    I say records do sound better than digital,when I hear the comparison to a song on a record and to one on my phone,the record gives of a more warm feeling almost like that’s the song in its most purest state that’s what I think.you can also hear the difference

  • @Fantasma25
    @Fantasma25 9 років тому +1

    The "warmness" people hear about vinyl is not so much related to the vinyl, but more to the amplification system. Also, the music in modern vinyls are recorded using digital systems and then transferred to the vinyl using digital to analog converters. And finally, that "warmness" is nothing but distortion and filtering. They do sound cool, though.

    Vinyl can sound better than CD, but with higher cost and much more endeavor. For hardcore audiophiles, not only do they purchase top quality vinyl equipment, they also re-adjust their system every times before they listen to music. If you have such an enthusiasm, vinyl can sound better than CD for sure.

    • @user-pc8sd4ck3g
      @user-pc8sd4ck3g 7 років тому +1

      Well, that really depends. I've heard lots of good recorded vinyl from 70's and 80's. They sounds natural and analog, something digital music does not have. Nowadays most of the vinyl are converted from digital format, many of them just sounds like CDs

  • @BorrieBeats

    maybe it sounds better because mp3 even to this day cut frequencies to compress the file size mashing out the spectrum, might not hear (literally) the deep hum of a kickdrum but sub sonic waves can create a knock that digital has to recreate when it is played.

    I grew up around multiple music formats, cassette, records, and Compact Discs, so I guess you can say it can go either way, but if anything people shouldn't argue over what format is the best, I would say for those arguing over it to just chill out and appreciate whatever the fuck you have as a means of listening to music, since at least you can afford whatever equipment you have at the moment, it's better than nothing. or work hard to earn the money and save it up to buy what you prefer, and if you don't have the patience, either try looking up how to make a homemade music player of your preferred format, or learn to be patient.

    I collect vinyls (mainly buy albums I love and historically significate ones from my teens and college days), but I tend to listen to digital music. I like newer music digitally, and it could be because my record player isn't a great one. The argument that vinyl sounds better is of ones taste, but my friend worked for a local high-end audio/video store and had me listen to a Tool album "Aenima" from 1996 a few years ago. It was a regular CD. It sounded absolutely like I'd never heard it before. I don't know the brands of equipment (I'm sure McIntosh was the $5,000 receiver), but the tower speakers were $15,000 for the pair, so it probably depends on your equipment. If you can't afford equipment that is high priced and you want to make your music sound good. Do drugs.

    I own a good amount of vinyls but I will not say it is the option for music. While I do enjoy the more raw sound of it, I do not enjoy potentially having my song skip because of potentially various reasons from the needle being defective to the vinyl having just enough dirt that the needle gets pushed out of the proper groove. I'll take digital music over vinyl as my main source of music consumption but I'll get the vinyls for music I truly love and listen to it more raw.

    What's weird to me is how can vinyl produce the same tones that a human voice can or a musical instrument. Or if it's the record player making the sounds, where are the sounds coming from? a sound device like a sound card? It's weird that vibrations alone can mimic the exact sounds that we hear everyday.

    • @stringsattached67
      @stringsattached67 8 років тому

      This is what our ears do ' the sound of our voices start with vibration which travels through the air til it reaches our ears then a tiny bone inside our ears called the ear drum. picks up the vibrations which in turn starts to vibrate and send that information to our brains where it's translated into sound ' just like how the stylus picks up the vibrations from the grooves in a record and translates it to sound .

    @marcomusictv3854 6 років тому

    My opinion on the subject is that it all starts with the material been recorded; if you listen carefully to the composition, lyrics, music arrangement, the performance and many other aspects of the music from the vinyl gold era, it all starts with great songs, performed by great artists; maybe more of the music recorded to CD from the 2000´s and so on is not as good as the one produced in the 60´s, 70´s and 80´s... for a good example listen to Chicago´s Abba´s Begee´s The Beatles´ Michael Jackson´s Led Zeppelin´s Queen´s Pink Floyd´s records and a host of other artist like them... that was a so different kind of music from the majority of what its been written and produced now, now add "PLUS" the analog distortion and character and great dynamic range of the Vinyl records, maybe this is the answer to the question "Why do people prefer Vinyl vs CD´s"... I wouldn´t like to listen to so many music from today in vinyl, why? because of the lack of music composition, arrangement and production elements that are so important, and many people seem no to care about....
