Listening to a Vinyl Record for the First Time...

- Enjoy my struggles of trying to listen to a vinyl record for the very first time haha. I felt like a total idiot. The expierience was quite hilarious, I'm glad I filmed it!
Filmed this about a month ago, hope you like it :)
We have just witnessed the start of a crippling obsession with vinyl that will eventually destroy him financially.
*Welcome to the club, brother.*
Does it come with instructions? That was funny...
Tobias Moes Google would have helped him
I wanted to kill myself
Tobias Moes - I would ask the same question !!
lol
That is an ION turntable. It's not an old machine. Your dad would have bought it to play records. Which means SOMEWHERE in your house there must be records. How would you have never seen or heard a record before?!? Mind boggling.
For the Record I know right
It's because he is full of BS
For the Record I’ve seen records before and I haven’t heard a record being played till about a year ago. Other than that, this video is probably a joke.
Alrighty then judgy mcjudgersons over here with all your record knowledge. Why are you looking up/playing videos that’s titled “Listening to a vinyl record for the first time”?! 😹😹
@@yoandeenag5011 let's face it, it was probably the alight algorithm that brought us all together 🙏
Although everything was handled all wrong and roughly there is still something beautiful about experiencing someone's first moments with vinyl. Thanks for the fun upload.
Cory Holdaway This comment section could use more comments like yours.
I was initially concerned whether or not it would sound correctly since, assuming that turntable has a magnetic cartridge rather than ceramic, I didn't know if he would connect it to the proprietary phono input, assuming that amp has one.
Great to see young people enjoying what we took for granted.
For those into dance music with huge bass - NOTHING beats 12" vinyl.
Cool to see a reaction that positive to something like this.
Hmmm... I guess I will watch him, again. I didn't think of it being cool...
Skengman 110 to a certain degree there are things that should be known. This level of ignorance seems a bit suspicious. The poor kid must had to have been informed something about LP records before he made this video.
This video is kind of heartwarming :)
truly
Tell me about it!!!
JustAddGlasses I agree. I hope this sets him on his way to good memories with vinyl
Except its most likely fake
"Does it come with instructions?" Cutest thing ever
It was nice going into a vintage book record store and seeing teenagers sittinh on the floor looking through old records. I Was worried vinyl was going to disappear.
Hi Camshaft Thank you for the honest video, and I love the genuine surprise and wonder of your 1st time experience. You have entered the absolute analogue and manual World of vinyl, so enjoy !! With the fear of starting a ranttsunami, I personally believe that a record player is an musical instrument, as it (re)generates the recorded electricity with a pickup and the component quality determines the audio result, as opposed to a digital copy that's just delivers the data without any true intervention (apart from AD/DA, oversampling etc ;). Vinyl will always be a personal experience based on acoustics, mood, wearing of media and determination for the challenge of manual work.
you probably shouldn't touch it with your fingers, that leaves some oil and can damage the needle and vinyl itself too.
hold it by the sides.
sorry if this reply is late than 1year old but Vinyl is a plastic or PVC, you can touch it what ever you want as long you don't press hard, dirt and oil are everywhere so just clean your hand with nice clean cloth and you can pinch it just don't pinch it too hard. I've seen a lot of people wiping their dirty vinyls with cloths that are rougher than your skin so i don't see touching it with your hand will damage it
Plus being more careful will end up into disaster just like my friend who accidentally slipped by his hand drop the record from the floor causing it to crack the edge
1:46 WAAGH!
First record player i saw in action was the edison standard 1906 phonograph when i was about 8 or 9. It was a recording of the guys grandfather, very interesting
I mean im 16 and got a record player for my birthday but i actually knew what a record looked like before i started buying them. How have you never know what they look like?
Gotta give this guy credit for figuring it out and experimenting.
good thing pops had a good record player
This record is actually worth alot now xD
You've never seen a record player you claim... And yet apparently "buried deep in the abyss" was a ION *USB* record player, that cannot be more than a couple of years old. Hmmm... Ok son #IAmNotReading #NoShade
he clearly states that it belongs to his dad, hence, 'sorry dad if i break this'
vibeuk it's a USB turntable so Dad may have just digitized the ones in his collection he wanted and quit. It is covered with dust
vibeuk2003 and he said he was listening to one for the first time
did you see how much dust there was on the lid of it?
He sounds like a happy kid in awe
Looking to buy Vinyl Record
Really reminded me a few years back, this is an item and a process of another time and getting into it now doesn't come with proper instructions. But it is so great afterwards you just can't go back to your digital music files.. There is no fastforward, but you can select the song you want putting the needle down on the thick lines on the records which represents the track separation
Now this is genuine joy. I hope you are doing good man.
The look on your face is priceless man :) hope you are still enjoying it :)
Wow the vinyl does sound pretty amazing, that's why playing vinyl for the first time is awesome
Don't listen to the hipsters as they have no idea what they're talking about. It's completely fine to touch the grooves of a vinyl record. In fact, many people have found that the natural oils (which includes any organic vegetable or animal fats/oils) from your hands actually help lubricate the record and you'll find that the stylus pops a bit less. Also, and most folks who claim to be "experts" don't even know this, you'll want to gently wipe the dust off of those horizontal phalanges on the underside of the unit once in a while (only if it's an open-case model, if it's a Farrington-style player you won't have to worry about this) in order to help keep static electricity from building up -- not every day but probably after every 10 or 15 plays. Also, yes, you can spend lots of money on high-end (and over-priced) cleaners and brushes to keep your records dust-free, but honestly human saliva (a.k.a spit) and a clean white t-shirt work just as well. Happy spinning!
awesome video vinyl sounds so much better
not with this cheap turntable....
+PassCookie please shut up
+joef542 its the truth
How does it feel to lose your "vinyl cherry" on youtube? I'm proud of you son!
That’s the same look on my face after my first vinyl record and I spent $300 on a bunch of them the next day
I am 12 years old and I have grown up with vinyl records. This is just a walk in the park for me.
I’m 15 and wasn’t even this oblivious when I first listened to records when I was 10
A+, well done. Records will sound better than digital. One tip, do not place the disc on the floor or touch the grooves. When you handle this disc touch the outer rim and the label only. Finger prints will add noise to the recording and collect dust that will also make noise.
David Rousseau and if you never clean it you can actually damage it
It is possible, if there is a small hard object like a grain of sand, you might hear a ziiiiiip sound as that rolls in the groove for a fraction of a second. That will dent the grove walls and that ziiiiip will be there next time.
@Çerastes Thank you. I'm tired of morons saying one "sounds better".
Congratulations! You have taken your first step into a larger world. Remember, there was great entertainment done prior to the CD and MP3.
I'm 24 and all I can do is shake my head....
I'm 24 and have never used a turntable.
same lol
I'm 14 atm and working on a collection. I have a lot of Green Day shit
Rotating Things gay
damek666 well then
I Love this video. So cute to see the expressions on your face when you first play a record and hear it. You did a good job figuring out how to use the machine. So glad you enjoyed the experience!
2:40 “How do I fast forward it?” oh, my sweet summer child 😭
Jesus Christ. Who doesn't know how to use record player.
uhh, ive never seen one, what is it? 1915?
Bobcat Does It All we stopped using records like 25 years ago it hasn't been that long
pascual sandoval Im 27 years old. I've never seen one
Bobcat Does It All I'm 16 and I know how to use one.
Bobcat Does It All I'm 16 and I've own records for 3 years now
Why is everyone mad at this guy? Its not outlandish that the average young person these days doesn't know how to operate a record player. It doesn't matter if youre '6' years old and know how to operate one. This was his first time playing a record and is perfectly fine to not know what to do. Atleast he figured it out so he really isn't an idiot..
Ha-ha. That was great fun. Have your dad show you all the ins and outs. I'm sure he'd love to. Thanks for sharing!
Incredible how they write the music signal in the material
Also FYI to to the future, linear record players CAN select a track, since the needle and IR sensor run in a straight line across the disc
To go to a different song on a record this is what you do:
If you look at a record you should notice the grooves, the grooves contain the information (audio) stored in it. In between tracks there are no grooves, as in there is a space between the grooves that make up the individual tracks. Depending on how many songs are on a side, you should see several larger "lines", as you called them. If you put the needle down at a specific one, it will play right at that track.
As for how you fast forward, you have a few options: you can either manually turn it faster, set the speed up higher, or (if they even make turntables with this) press the fast forward button on the machine.
please shut up
Very humorous and yet extremely very cool!!! Vinyl is fucking awesome!! That's coming from a guy who has been collecting vinyl for over 40 years now and I don't plan to EVER STOP!!!! The records ALWAYS sound better than ANY digital format!!!! Totally cool!!!!
He's trying to be ironic, but fails. I've got loads of old 90's epic trance music on vinyl as well as 1940's vinyl way before my time. We all know what vinyl is and how it works, ffs!
Hey! Can you share of the cool collection of the music you have stored with me sometime?
Would appreciate it alot :)
trancehi I think given his age, and when this was recorded, it's reasonable to think he didn't know how it worked. I'm almost 30 now, and just a couple of years ago I started getting into vinyl records, and I didn't know how it worked, at first.
This is so *wholesome*
I've never seen and touched the record player by myself all my life! I've been living in this planet for 27 years, though.
How do you fast forward ? dude are you for real ? I hope you are joking records have been around since the 1800's it is a very good format better then any mp3 you have ever heard. skiping songs is as easy as gently lifting the tine arm and moving it to the track you want to hear.
bluetech7753 put it on 45rpm! 😂😂😂
He's never done this before, give him a break.
Skipping songs? Am I alone in only deeming an album worthy of a vinyl record purchase if it's something I'd like to listen to from start to finish with no skipping?
StarryStarryNocturne completely agree
@@StarryStarryNocturne Yes you are alone.
That was adorable.
They sound better bud
Not sure why this is in my recommended but I'm glad it watched it. What a lovely video.
EDIT: What's up with these comments? No one can know everything, calm down.
IBlameNargles the Vinyl community is pretty toxic
So happy for you man
Look after the pack too, you have a rare release there.
Wow you weren't kidding. Lowest sold price is $122 on Discogs
that look on his face that really is a first timer wow,
thats so cool :) you will catch the bug, the sound is much better than mp3
LOL i can't believe you have never experienced anything like that before. ;) Made my day. This is an example of a non-nascar video on your channel that I enjoy. :)
If that truly is your first time that is very cool. My only question would be how you could have never seen one before if you dad owns a turntable?
If you spot a big squarish thing outside your house, with a wheel at each corner, it's called a 'car'.
My first time was at age 5 in the late 70s. I can NOT imagine first-time-vinyl-experience being an adult person ...
No fast forward lol. Yup manually put it on the next groove those are the tracks. But really half the fun of listening to a record is just letting it play through to the end. Glad vinyl made a comeback.
"Does it come with instructions". 😆😆
i want that album. she sounds amazing
Fast forward? 😂 LOL. Reminds me of a time when dvd rentals took the torch from VHS and technologically ignorant consumers agonized over how to rewind the DVD they just finished watching before returning it to the movie rental store. 😁
hehe acoustic? those haven't existed since the 1920s, i dunno how to feel on this "first" timer thing, as someone born in 1989 i just grew up "knowing" how to do it, i was like 3 or 4 and id just get on the couch drop (yes i would drop it) the tonearm on the record and enjoy it. Same w/ 8 tracks, just turn the knob to tape and push in the cartridge
great to see your loving vinyl records. I can also notice that you have an ION turntable while playing the record. Just to let you know, cheaply made turntables can damage youre records. So try to get an audio technica. Any model by that name is good for any starter. But im not pushin' ya.
I am 15 and I collect vinyl, vinyl is so much better than digital or CD's
I'm surprised no one commented on that young man's putting his fingers on the record! The natural body oils in his fingers are going to affect the playback the more he does it! HOLD IT BY THE EDGES, PLEASE it's killing me to see that!
Some things that was common in the past can still amaze people today! love it
"How do i fast forward it?" Lol, glad he found his way into the record world!
This made me so happy!!
were you living in a cave
He could have fast forwarded it by lifting the arm, then moving to the next black circle.
I thank you. I think I just found an amazing artist, I gotta look up her music.
Lol. Taking a trip back in time? Haha. Nice! My family listen to my grandparents' Christmas records every year around Christmas.
In order to "fast-forward", you (I believe) either increase the speed, or move the needle further closer to the center of the record. Enjoy yourself there!
you caught the bug...
fast forwarding - take head up and put it closer to center, if u want to skip song, there are several not engraved lines on vinyl, they seperate the songs, so u must put them on those places, usually there are 2 sides on vinyl , after listening for a first one turn it up play again... Without google and youtube I could not know any of this and more in just a several days lol
This video makes me glad I got an education.
Have you been living under a rock? I am 26 and I have listened records since I was little
Ladies & gentlemen....I give you the future :-(
I would crank up the speakers on Led Zep II IF there was again a 1st time
if you are a fan of vinyl and disliked this video there is something wrong with you
His dad must have banished him from the room when he wanted to play records, and the room must have been ultra-soundproofed as he reckons he's never heard a record before. What a liar!
Same! Been around them, never actually played them
I'm 13 and I have a receiver and a turntable from the 70s. And I know how to use everything on a turntable and receiver.
HA I have more records than my parents do and I am 18, have a realistic lab330 :P Love records
That's a great video. Vinyl is amazing.
4 YEARS LATER I AM STILL SHAKING MY HEAD L.O.L.
this was so great
See? This is the kind of stuff that keeps my faith in humanity alive and well.
LOL You Don't Fast Forward Vinyl Records , But If want to skip to the next track you have to pick up the needle and move It to the next set of groves (The Fine Black Lines In Between The each set of grove cut outs or each track) Although considering its been 9 years I assume you already know this.
I can name two people in the world but don't know what a record is babies and him
I NEED THE PLAYER BEFORE IT EXTINCTS.
only black vinyl last and coloured are more noisy ( even white ) -and i guess you thought you bought a "vinyl" but from what i hear from this video -You bought a digital CD version on analog vinyl - Its not mastered vinyl - they just made a vinyl copy from the cd sound ( relese or even worse , since its a woman sining a AAC pro (sounds like that))
Sounds better then my technics 1210gr!
I love vinyl more that CDs or MP3s. Vinyl has a warming sound to it. Digital sounds so hard and cold and critical
i cant believe you never herd vinyl before. Well If you had a classic Record player it sounds even better. I been collecting Vinyl for a long time and just got the TAylor Swift Red Record and the record is actually Red its sweet :) What record are you playing in this video?
how do you fast forward it... brilliant....
records are slow, you should listen to all the tracks in the order they are laid down. not jumping around means you have to sit and appreciate the music.
someone just came out of jungle
For those wanting to try out vinyl, you ought to start out with a decent 1980s turntable from brands such as 'Technics'.
You can get belt drive, but I like the DIRECT DRIVE ones, matched up to a good 1980s amp with a 'phono stage' built-in - try a Marantz'.
If you like the vinyl thing you might want to 'upgrade' to newer gear in the future, but those 1980s units are BUILT LIKE TANKS and are cheap on Ebay and second-hand shops.
Is there any equalizer setting on that thing?? The machine looks vintage, yet it produces great sounds
That was a painful video to get through.
w h o l e s o m e
That is wild because you never heard you Dad playing 🎶???
your dad's not gonna kill ya he would he happy you were enjoying something he enjoyed................. at least that's how I would feel I'm setting up a turntable right now with my son!
