How Vinyl Records Are Made
Still, i'll never fully understand how it's possible that actual music is produced by a needle touching grooves
~vibrations~
@@duon44 heck yeah ahahah
Incredibly high fidelity music at that
It's called science dumbass!!
@@sopaman1234 if you can't seem to clearly explain it yourself you don't understand it good enough
So the interesting part, how they get sounds onto metal, was completely skipped, and the part everyone already knows, that they're created by being pressed into vinyl, was shown. For about 90 seconds of a four and a half minute video.
100% agree. This was not a good video.
The records have little grooves that vary. When the arm detects a groove, it turns a speaker on. When the arm doesn't detect a groove, it turns the speaker off. This constant turning on and off very fast causes the speaker to vibrate very fast at a varying frequencies, causing varying pitches to be heard. (When the speaker vibrates, the air molecules around it do so as well, creating sound that your ear drum interprets)
Thats a simplified version, but thats the basic concept. Basically anything that can have 2 states (on or off, or up or down, etc) can be used to store sound. It just needs a mechanism to turn the on/offs into vibrations, which is sound
Sam B There are SO MANY of these KIND of videos, but this is a very abbreviated version and 4:26 of our life we can’t get back.😫If you’re going to do YET ANOTHER “How Vinyl Records Are Made” video, give details and specifics all the way through. Too many out there as it is.🙄🎧
Jac you know you can listen to vinyls with no speakers yeah?
@@StudioCluiss neither speakers nor turntable cartridges are binary devices, they are not just on or off.
Plot twist : The dog actually runs the business and Tom is just a cover up.
Versaucey 😂
😱😱😱You're RIGHT!!!😱😱😱
Humans always take credit for everything.
3:52 "i feel like I'm part of the process"
That is word for word what I was about to comment wtf
You know too much brah.
Good job choosing the most annoying music imaginable for this music related video
Exactly. It's the worst possible set of tracklist one can come up with. It's like late 80's porn behind the scene, kind type.
this that music drug companies play on the commercials when they’re telling you all the shit the drug can do to your body haha
Lol true🤣🤣
There’s such thing as a VOLUME BUTTON

“This is Luna, she doesn’t help, she is a dog” 😂
Dog help, it makes the person happier
She helps more than you think
DO YOU HAVE KALAMANSI ?
Why has this got so many likes😂
that's the perfect disguise
Now that that’s covered, how do they *work* ?
Bumps on the grooves register different sounds on the playing head
D.S. Mabrur Hyder thanks
There's a guy that uses a powerful microscope on youtube to look at random stuff. He's done CDs, CPUs, vinyl, etc
@@smash461986 who is it
@@thomasmussmann8321 I can't remember. Was something I stumbled across and was fairly interesting. Try searching CD or cpu under microscope.
This did NOT tell, how vinyl records are made. It told only tiny part of the process. This was more like an ad of that company. I was maintenance engineer in a company which made vinyl record on 70’s and all the cut vaste vinyl was reused. So that is nothing new. Why not to reuse the vinyl?
Lmao
I know right! They didn't show the groves being carved in.🤦♂️
Yeah, the most interesting part is the production of the masters and stampers.
I'm especially curious how modern HD vinyl stampers are made, I mean, using lasers to etch the stampers... man that's fancy!
Plenty of videos on the process of making a master out of a lacquer though.
@@QoraxAudio HD Vinyl is now dead as they could not achieve the proper results using a digital laser.
@@michaelhorgan9525 Really? Too bad... would've been very interesting!
The most important thing was skipped over.
How you make the groves and how often the master needs to be changed.
As a mechanical manufacturing process, the quality of die and mold drops after each press
Would expect nothing less than a cheap Insider video to miss crucial aspects of the manufacturing process. Mainstream media blows
individually inspected.. lol. not by that employee ..
was about to write that, no surprise a lot of the records I buy are warped
@@MrCubeDK so true !!!!
LOL! My thoughts exactly. She is *not* happy in her work, her boss has no charisma, and I have crappy pressings.
I was thinking that lmaoo like uhhh she aint inspecting the vinyls
was about to write that lol
This video doesn't really explain much. I was hoping it would show the process of using a cutting lathe to cut the grooves onto the master, and show a close up detailed view of how the groves from the master is impressed onto the vinyl.
2:10 She's got that 'I hate everything' look.
@Wake up sheep to reality really Please be more respectful.
@@mz7315 ?
@Super Jeff typical incel spotted
@@joannazalewska9800 wtf is happening on this thread
@@cityfantv-everythingmancit2946 i guess incel deleted his comments
Not to be rude but I'm pretty sure luna is running the whole show
The methane gas from his poop powers the presses.
Oh boy, the red vinyl coming out of the press at 3:40 is already warped...
signs of a terrible pressing plant
I’m new in this game, how can you tell so easily, I couldn’t really notice anything?
@@joeysharma84 if you look closely if it doesn't stack neatly on the pile then it's warped.
ghsgtn ayhmd sthu
The warped ones get thrown away
Me: taking extreme caution when touching my vinyl
The production company: Drop the vinyl 1.5M
Vinyl records are real durable actually.
2:10 - that's the face of someone who truly love their job.
She it's pretty
@@redgreenblue1208 so tf she's not 💀
I thought the same.
Sister wid de attitude
Looks far easier than any job I ever worked in my life
Next do how baby's are made
So youre wondering how an accident like you was made?

@@biskii1929 we can both get through this process together bro
@@fazeboogie8532 anem
You can easily tell she doesn't like her job 2:10
Nobody would like that Job
IKR!!!
Do y'all think running your own business is constant adventure and excitement?? Like any job, there are necessary tasks that you perform by rote.
Not sure why so many people are pointing this scene out.
Maybe she didn't really want to be filmed. Maybe her cat just died. Maybe she just got turned down for a home loan. Maybe she just realized she could have been saving 15% or more on her car insurance if she had just switched to GEICO. YOU DON'T KNOW HER STORY...
She looks like she is focused and concentrating on doing her job correctly. Have you never seen that before? What is she supposed to be doing, dancing and singing while she works?
2:09 well, she certainly loves doing her job
lol, you can see her again at 3:45
I am very intrigued why she is like that
How about you try doing this for your living wage? I don't think you'll be all too happy too.
@@fion3943 same can be said for nearly all blue-collar jobs but it can even be applicable to many of the white-collar jobs
It depends on the pay, the hospitality, and many other things
I'm sure if you have to do the same shit every single day you would feel like that.
@@ratplaga9845 I don't know, she seems more irritated than hopeless,
if you do the same shit every day you will lose hope or direction in life but her frustration seems immediate.
"inspected" lol might as well automate her job
I just found my Grandpa's vinyl collection and his old turntable that thankfully still works today, I played it and I was fascinated how a spinning circle with a needle riding on it produce great music! Surprisingly we have the same music taste which wad great so I can jam to it anytime. 😀
good for you!
*I always wanted to know that*
I didn't, but hey! Now i know :)
bo
2:10 you can tell she loves her job
Awesome, but i still dont know how vinyls are made
When that one fell at the end? Yeah, those are the ones I end up with.
Love how they gloss over making the grooves. You know the groves have to be different for each song/album. How they doing that insider?
if luna is a dog, she is helping
exactly, probably most important job at the factory.
Not a whole lot of inspecting going on. Which strengthens my case that new vinyl is not being pressed at top quality. I’d say 70% of the brand new vinyl I purchase has warps and most of all scuffs and scratches.
Yeah you have to see which label you trust nowadays
thanks for letting me know that dog is a dog
It takes 1:10 before they even start addressing the question and doesn't explain why vinyl needs to be mixed and mastered differently. What is so wrong with making informative and to the point videos?
thanks God
Far too little real information.
When you make a "how" video, leave out the personalities
and present only what strictly pertains to the subject matter.
David O'Banion ok.....but did I ask
@@nickj7335 ok...but was he talking to you
Awesome video! Thank You much for posting it! Great video production work!
the movie _High Fidelity_ told me you’re not supposed to stack records horizontally...
And what's the reason behind it?
@@pedrovisgueira Because when you stack a lot of record onto each other, the weight can destroy them!
That's for shipping crates, record stores and then your house
I always wondered what the process was like in making a record, it is interesting
The part were the record is trimmed at the side and the way the label is pressed.
Yes good sir. You are indeed a part of the process and are loved for it
Great job mate keep it up you all.
Huge Blessings...
Incredible such exquisite sound can be out on disc and heard later
2:10 she looks so happy uh to be there 😂😂😂
The girl who's packing the record is just throwing them around like there not fragile 😂
I, a 19-year old who got a gramophone yesterday, consider a gramophone record the most fragile object in the world. My father who got all the records in his younger years taught me how to hold them too.
First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it
after watching, i don't feel like buying any record made in that factory.
Meh just wait until you see GZ Media pressing plant...
@3:45
That’s a flimsy final “inspection”.
1:00 oh thank you insider, I didn't know it was a dog.
New information 💯
The girl looks super happy with her job!
This answered none of my questions. Thank you so much.
I love your work friend, those eurodance 90" records are there on that shelf
This video taught me one thing: hydraulic presses are used for more than just stupid UA-cam videos.
A shame that the video doesn't discuss how the master audio is actually converted into proper physical data.
Flac rulz! Just kidding, I appreciate both formats😆. I am glad that vinyl has made a comeback over the last few years. Nothing like owning an album I can actually hold in my hands.
my love for vinyls are endless now that i know how they make it, its so cool wtf
The plural of vinyl is vinyl.
I have vinyls on my floor.
I'd rather put records on my turntable than pieces of floorboard lol
I also love vinyl I still unsure the hifi I got when I was 14 I'm in my 40s now back then things were made to last lol. I'm still using vinyl, cassette tapes and cds. I do have a lot of music on my kindle but if hime i tend to togo old school. I also live that even toady amny bands sell their albums on vinyl and cassette tapes 😃 if available ill always buy new albums on nit only on download and cds ill always get it on vinyl too 🎶 🎵
2:09 that girl said, “I’m over this😒”
I think this is so great. Something from the past is revitalized for today's consumer all because it's unique to the point where it stands the test of time. I bought a new record player all because I found some old classic vinyls that my sister inlaw have had, and i"m so enjoying it.
Shut up hipster.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 shut up triggered snowflake.
Vinyls seem like such a nightmare to have though. CDs ftw
Also, are you *really* the kind of guy that uses “triggered snowflake” as a comeback?
@@catsinwonderland7473 Just came home from a fum trip. Lost some money at the casinos, but just can't revel on it . Looking forward for tomorrow. The weather is going to be fair, and riding my bike for a couple of hours on my route will be fum, and enjoying. Tonight though I'm going to have to go setup my rack system. I use to use zip ties, but meow Ive changed it since it's costing me money. Right meow I'm using tention straps. It's really useful and reusable so meow I don't have to waste anymeow money.
Not gonna lie but that ad/commercial is amazing. I'm 12 and I love everything 60s to 80s
I know a huge company that prints the covers for Vinyls. They have a large grab of the industry. Would be a neat video to follow up. BTW...this company recently won two Emmys for covers.
what i wanna know is the process of recording to the grooves
How does insider post there videos so fast
It's not one UA-camr
i love the how fan is so loud you can barely hear him
Here's a question that has been on my mind lately. Does 3D printing have the potential to make a record and keep the medium going?
technically yes, but also no not really. theoretically, you could use the master to create a model disc, then recreate that disc onto a 3d program where you could then print it out on vinyl. however, 3d printers don't print smoothly- if you've ever held a 3d printed piece, you can feel the texture. it would be very complicated and time consuming to make a master disc, recreate it digitally, and figure out a way to print the vinyl smoothly/sand it down. i think the way that vinyl is produced now is probably the most efficient way we can make it. you could precut the vinyl and use a laser to cut the grooves- but at that point, its a cd. hope this answers your question
As a 3d printer expert: no.
The level of detail and miniscule differencs the 3d printer would need to print, is not available today.
Even if they were, Tom's machines are the more rational way of doing it.
Doing it with a 3d printer would be like carving a wooden statue with a fork.
This is Luna
She doesn't help
She is a dog
*well yeah i can see that*
I love the QC bit at the end! 😂
@2:11 handling them with such care "just throw it in the opening" lol
Wow right here in Brooklyn.. Amazing and educational..
He 'feels' like he is part of the process. That is SO sweet.
Wow I never new how they where made thanks you for this vidoes
Beautiful recorded video
The record vinyl is so iconic
My vinyl record enthusiasm started 😀🥰😆
Don’t disrespect Luna like that.
Thanx guys, because of y'all, we have amazing records to play, mix, & skratch...... 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥👍👌💪🙏😎🎄🐺
And ruin.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 Absolutely!! If I need a new Scratch needle, or new vinyl, then im doin my job well... Lol... Bahahahaha...
Luna definitely the most important member of the company
she responsible to keep the employees moral high
I love how they pointed out that the dog doesn’t help with the vinyl making and business 1:02
Where does it show how a stamper is made to press into the album?
Instantly paused and liked this video just for Luna, what a saint.
Ah, I’m glad I now know how my TØP vinyl was made. Thank you insider, very cool :))
Are you talking about vinyls as a hole or the red one? There was a red vinyl of Blurryface right?
Pikachu On UA-cam Lol, I meant vinyls in general
I always wondered how Vinyl Records are made then I found this video, clever.
I love that records are back
insider be answering every question i ask
That’s actually pretty amazing
oh johnny sins has a businnnneeeeesssssssssss
codename 12 the man can do anything
I miss buying vinyl records! *45's 33's and some 78's* Memories! And hearing sound of needle on record player arm. 💿💿💿
You can... Still buy vinyl records?
@@l.398 yes, but I guess I miss buying them at *Tower Records* and *Wherehouse Records* There's a great line in movie *Almost Famous* by Miss Penny Lane _If you ever get lonely go to the record store,and visit your friends_
Yeah, I get it. The "feel" of it is kind of gone, since you can download songs way more easily, and it's less of a thing now. I really love collectinh vinyls, but miss that kind of community around it tbh, that it had back in the day.
@@l.398 You said it! ☺
@@l.398 yeah, they're in some stores.
Like Barnes and noble
i love vinyl feels like pure music
2:11 guuurl chill!!
It’s so funny, I’ve loved vinyl for over noine years now. It still holds up.
WOW!
It's crazy how all it is is wax with grooves in it and it somehow the needle traveling through the grooves makes the music that was recorded
Any clues where I can find the old video at the intro - ending?
HELL YEAH BROTHER KEEP IT UP
Putting the music into grooves is quite complicated. For exemple, the bass frequencies are removed because they would make the grooves so big the needle would skip continually. Then the record player (the one you have at home) boosts back the bass frequencies so you can hear them. And that is just a part of it...
I actually saw a record getting pressed at citizen vinyl in ashville NC
This just raised even more questions. Now Im complitely clueless 😅
the dog definitely helps, they did her dirty lol
Puri garu chepparu ❤️
Andukey chustunna😍😍💕💕💕💕💕💕
0:19 I Thought That Was A TV.
2:10 She loves her job!
1:05 thank you for the info that is a dog. I thought it was a bee
loved the dog’s part
I would LOVE to own this business! Looks SO cool.............glad to see vinyl records are still around, the sound of analog records is far SUPERIOR to digital sound.
Most people have no idea how much hard work goes into making these beautiful pieces of work.
To bring such Joy to somebody's ears.
And pleasure to one's mind.

Not interested.

Another true jerk.
Yes you.
i’m actually here from snap never thought i’d say that
i love how they felt the need to include the dog
Well, the owner has the personality of a plank of wood. I think they wanted to make him appear like a nice guy.
How about that “Individual inspection,” right?
Wish I could start a business like this.
WOW GOOD STUFF!!
