- The dust on my album fell on it while making this video, now chill.
This is not something you want to do all the time as vinyl records are made of soft plastic (vinyl) and the needle (stylus) of your record player is harder than this. Some argue dropping the needle of the record while it is spinning is better. But no where has anyone actually done a real life study. I have done this countless times for years and have never scratched anything doing this.
The needle tip uses diamond which will scratch the vinyl. So this is not recommended to do all of the time. What this is very useful for is if one side of an album starts with a song you do not like you can just position the needle manually to the end of that song. Then when you turn on the player any scratches that will happen will occur at the end of the song you do not like.
youtubes been recommending me vinyl content since i've been shopping for records and I found this. While I don't personally have the type of lighting in my room that causes records to have enough shine for this to work, You've got a sub for providing a simple and to the point tutorial that doesn't overstay it's welcome
Not a good idea to drop the needle anywhere except the beginning of the side. It can damage the groove. But if one insists on doing this keep in mind that every so often when lowering your tonearm with a lever you may start to get drift. The needle stops falling straight down and drifts falling on an angle. This usually means the bar that lowers the arm needs cleaning. Wipe it with alcohol on the end of a Q-tip and after it dries use fine grit sand paper VERY LIGHTLY to score the surface a bit. Your arm will start dropping straight down again.
I love vinyl man. Even though I knew how to do this, I saw it in my recommended and thought to myself “hey why not watch”
I’m glad to see your helping people with vinyl!!
Thanks keeping it simple,good cueing is a necessity.
CLEAN THE RECORD GOD DAMN
Jesus some of the people in the comments have been so consumed by records they sound like they are about to have a stroke over this video. 😂 it’s a piece of plastic go outside and touch grass. Oh I’m sorry guy’s I meant to say it’s a piece of PVC. Nice video man
Haha yeah I find it pretty amusing. I post a ton of useful music theory vids but people freak out about this one video and disregard the rest. I agree, the point of the video was the title and nothing more. Thanks for the comment!
Like any sort of collectible; people can be passionate about it. Going towards an age of everything being digital, then having the chance to have physical copies of your favorite music outside of CDs and everything. It just feels more personal like you are collecting art. I’m not speaking for everyone, but it can give you some insight as to why people love vinyl lmao. I’m almost 30 and started a pretty good collection over the last 7 years. I’m interested to know what some of your hobbies are (besides the obvious when you click your profile)
@@SenorGooch Oh I understand 100% I have been collecting vinyl for the past 4 years. However some of these people are just going above and beyond insulting the guy because there’s dust on it. I’m also interested in cars I keep them spotless but when I see someone have a little dust on their dashboard I don’t attack them haha
Great video, I’ve never used a record player before, and I always wondered how that worked.
I'm glad you liked it. Having a record player is great, it makes me want to listen to the entire album when I put one on. And with this it makes me want to reserve the album for a special time and really appreciate it.
Thank you man!
Glad to help!
Wowsers! There's a technique to this ? 😮
I would be worried about putting that stylus on any song
Players arent cheap man
@bautimeyer8301 neither are rolls Royce either and that's why you buy them
Lol
What was the song playing tho?
When You See a Chance by Steve Winwood. From one of his solo albums. He also is a main member of the Band Traffic as well as Blind Faith with Eric Clapton. He has written a lot of songs that other people have covered. Such as Higher Love which Kygo did a modern cover of.
Subbed
I use an audio Technica atlp60 turntable that is automatic and spins when I move the tonearm when it's up so it's a bit hard for me,and this video is for manual turntable users only. I'm sure after some practice I will get It.
Mine does that too that's why in the video I push the power button on my turntable to turn it off. Then I move the tonearm, once it is placed where I want it I turn it back on. Some people do not recommend this since the tonearm needle is diamond and if its not placed in a groove it will just scratch its way until it catches in the grooves. I have personally had no noticeable damage from doing this and I do this to most of my albums of my here and there.
You can press the raise needle button and move it manually on the atlp60
One doesn’t just simply choose a track like it’s a compact disc gotta play from start of side to end 🤬
I agree, but I have a few albums that have a terrible first song on the B side. So when I flip it I just skip that song. Makes the album listening experience much better.
How to place the phonograph needle on a specific song.
But what if you have 13 songs
You should still be able to see the lines dividing each song in good bright lighting, just like shown in this video.
Spin the record before putting needle down
Omigawd. All you people stay away from my records.
why not use a phone
Good idea!
L
Imagine not knowing this lol
How do u not know this
First off it’s not a “vinyl”,it’s called a RECORD,and the device you play the record on is called a TURNTABLE, not a “vinyl player”. Also is it really necessary to make a video showing someone how to cue up a record? That is pretty self explanatory.
I came across this video looking for Sam Fox tracks
Pisser ..I agree . Fu king " vinyl "
Nobody should listen to someone who takes this poor care of records, or someone who calls them "vinyls"...
Grammar fascist 😂
vinyl records suck! I prefer the old shellac 78 rpms. I highly dislike 33rpm records
Bro what are you talking about? Not only did he make sure the record wasn't spinnign while doing this, he even used the liftin/lowering mechanism to make sure it didn't just drop onto the record. Just because there's some dust on the record doesn't mean he takes poor care of them. lmao
Yeah to be honest I clean my records before using them if they are not already clean out of the sleeve. Because I do not have the most free time I only occasionally listen to them. The dust literally fell on the album while making this video. I let people think what they want but thanks VinnytotheK for having my back :-)
@@jarodvmusic Of course! I was actually impressed with how careful you were being and was surprised when I saw this comment lol. I honestly don't clean my records 😳 I REALLY need to start... Thanks for making a video about something that some people really might not think of/realize!
