[ninjabluewings]

Now That's A Cool Little Player, Is That A Pickering Cartridge On It?

[CarlitosDJmx]

even when is not connectted directly to the record player...can notice how great sounds...vinyls well cared sounds 100 better than cd's....really

[stomp919]

Sorry man but im 49 and I dont miss the snap crackle and skips of LPs. Cds sound as good as they are mastered.

[iTz1993]

I can picture it getting shot at with my gun thats about it

[mosieurlaurin]

I don't actually like Lady Gaga, but playing recent music on an old turntable is awesome.

[PrankZabba]

how in the hell did this come up in my list while watching THE MELVINS?

[cascioman]

love the vid but dude, it's not a video

[gagafashiong]

YOU AND ME COULD WRITE A BAD ROMANCEE! O OH OH OH OOOOOOH

[GiveCourage]

Youtubers can I get some feedback? :D The record has analog information that is being amplified to produce an analog sound (no digital transfer). However, the recording we're hearing was picked up by a microphone that stores the information digitally. Then...the digital information is played on youtube and converted (digital to analog) out through our speakers, headphones, or whatever. So REALLY we shouldn't be able to hear the analog sound of "Bad Romance" unless we were there in the room?

[rebulun]

@GiveCourage Or unless we got our cheap asses out and actually BOUGHT the album at the store! What a revolutionary idea. Actually PAYING money for music. HAHAHAHA!

[GiveCourage]

@rebulun Well actually, I've preordered Born This Way, the vinyl album, and I couldn't be more thrilled!

[minkso97GAGAFAN]

does that scratch the vinyl picture???

[plusone19]

@minkso97GAGAFAN The picture is pressed between two vinyl discs, so nothing would happen to it

[capang9555]

thats soo cool!

[TiptupJr]

...It sounds beautiful. O_o

[darcaqua]

the whole experience of listening to music through vinyl (especially special picture vinyls) is very powerful. However, not everyone can afford vinyl and never get the experience. Not to mention you also need a record player.

[FreezEntertainment]

whats the bitrate of that thing ? lol

[PoshMurder]

@FreezEntertainment Vinyl doesn't have bitrate, it's not digital.

[tuggaboy]

@PoshMurder You probabily didn't see but FreezEntertainment was kidding; as you can see (s)he wrote "lol" in the end. It's just a joke (but for you to know, i was going to write that too when i saw it. xD)

[tuggaboy]

Is there someone uploading videos like this but with the audio input directly connected to the vinyl player, i mean, without microfones? I would like to listen the sound quality of a vinyl disc.

[sardhouse76]

@tuggaboy buy the record :)

[tuggaboy]

@sardhouse76 I cannot! In Europe is not very normal to sell Vinyl, Kassettes tapes or VHS. We only find stuff on CD, DVD or Blueray Disc™

[sardhouse76]

@tuggaboy seriously (i don't want to be offensive) .. but... bullshit. i'm a Dj and i buy only vinyl. people love to steal music. no other word about :)

[tuggaboy]

@sardhouse76 Who talked about stealing music? I only said that is very difficult to get vinyl in Europe, and more in my country. Here we modernised so much that we stop selling those a lot time ago. But now, because of everybody finding cool to have a mixtable those are appearing again, but in a very shy way. Maybe in the UK it's possible to find it...

[sardhouse76]

@tuggaboy , if you have money you can buy vinyl right now, trough the WEB. about "to steal" music, this is the answer: steal music = stop selling ... a simple thought

the question is not the coolness of vinyl... but, the vinyl is for the serious Djs.

all the others?? kids...

[tuggaboy]

@sardhouse76 I don't buy things through the World Wide Web, because I'm afraid I can be a victim of cybercrimes, because nowadays évery hacker can steal your credit card codes and numbers, your acounts and other stuff. I prefer to buy my things físically, instead of vírtually.

[brainac0cult]

@tuggaboy it would be impossible because of the compression on youtube and the whole digital transferring thing.

[tuggaboy]

@brainac0cult Right, it wouldn't sound exactely, but it would be more aproximate to the real sound, i mean, with microfones you listen to it with the room reverb and that is what i meant. Obviously it would be needed to encode it looselessly, in WAV (PCM) or FLAC, APE or sthg like that.

[Areio]

@tuggaboy - You're not going to be able to listen to anything close on YouTube. You're going to want to look for a vinyl rip (which should have a sampling rate of at least 96khz and be at least 24-bit) for the best digital quality. That is going to be-- theoretically, at least-- as high-quality as you need to be if you're playing the music through your computer. Also, the music is produced digitally, so you don't really have a completely analogue sound. For best quality, just get the vinyl.

[cheezbeenzriz]

@tuggaboy uploading it to the sound through inputs to a computer will make it digital either way just cough up the money for a record player and the vinyl it's worth it :)

[s0ccurpr0]

@tuggaboy you'd still be listening through a digital media interface and wouldn't hear the difference...

[tuggaboy]

@s0ccurpr0 I don't understand... What is the sound fréquency of vynil??? I thought it couldn't reach the 44100Hz, but people are telling me that maybe a codec with 96000Hz it might get an appróximate expérience. I don't understand what is this peculiar sound everybody talks about. Could it be the speakers of those vynil players of yours? Because DJ play their discs and the sound is not so different from CDs--

[kainthevampireduck]

@tuggaboy vinyl is analogue, it's not limited by bits, khz or whatever, it can handle a constant sound wave, while digital are just samples played fast "so you won't notice".

for digital, the higher the sample rate in khz and the bits, the closer it gets to the real sound made in the studio. 44khz 16 bits (cd quality) is terribly low, it's as if games or movies played at 5 frames per second, while vinyl has "theoretical infinite frames per second".

I hope that made some sense :D

[nafroe1]

@s0ccurpr0 You absolutely would. Granted, it's not the full vinyl effect, but it's still damn good.

[ChipmunksVideos1]

@tuggaboy yes it can,its just connected somehow dirrect to microphone plug and thats it...

[sallyfieldrequired]

it looks like blood

[koonchan222]

I'm laughing right now! This amazes me soooo much!!!!

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Extreme awesomeness!

[skippers96]

whair would you get a vinyl with lady ga ga on it in todays world?

[MickandNick]

@skippers96 there are alot of sites actually. vinyls are coming back! i'm getting one myself for the band Brand New. and like the description says, they have the best sound. better than any CD or MP3

[skippers96]

@MickandNick Y I am well aware all about vinyls Im a collecter just was realy suprised at haw lady ga ga would print her music on one...I am only 14 but I have a huge collection of them mostly I get them form like E-bay when I want a pitucular album. I just realy need too get a cleaning kit too get that great sound

[tuggaboy]

@MickandNick That is not true! Though a lot of people say the sound is unique and it sounds really great, an analogical record cannot have a better quality than a digital record because in the analogical record always has lossy quality and in digital can be encoded to be lossless. Of course, MP3 is not lossless, but at a bitrate of 320kbps is practically lossless. Try with a sound filter and you'll see no distortion or noise.

[PoshMurder]

@tuggaboy I think you're a bit confused.

Digital albums are lossy, MP3s are lossy (apart from FLAC).

Vinyl records are analogue and lossless, analogue is 'always' lossless whilst digital is 'mostly' lossy.

And I'm from Europe too, and vinyl is sold everywhere. Vinyl sales have gone up by over 7,000% since 2001.

[tuggaboy]

@PoshMurder No, I think you are confused.

The encoding in PCM (as well as in FLAC) is LOSSLESS and they're both digitally encoded.

Then, analogue is not lossless, it gets lossy because of the noise it may suffer and/or the distortion the analogue signals may get. I read about Vinyl and after a lot of plays and adverse conditions like high temperatures it loses quality in the sound.

[PoshMurder]

@tuggaboy No, I'm not confused. I mentioned FLAC as an example, which you missed entirely in your comment.

Vinyl quality degrades over time, sure, though vinyl that's looked after through the years and stored properly still have amazing sound quality.

My 1980's LP of Michael Jackson's Thriller is a prime example, no pops, squeeks or audible noise distortion.

I'm in England, vinyl stores are everwhere.

[tuggaboy]

@PoshMurder ok, but PCM encoding is lossless too, in fact it was the first lossless digital codec, used in WAV files.

Vinyl needs "special treaty" so that the quality is not afected. CDs only need to not get scratched. Wheather is 50ºC or -20ºC the quality is not suffering, while in vinyl the quality will be seriously afected. By the way, keep your MJ vinyl intact, in the future it may be a unique treasure and priced in bilions of pounds!

[hambone9119]

@tuggaboy i play the shit out of my records, man even if they are are rare, music is supposed to be shared, so i might as well share the rare music lol.

[tuggaboy]

@PoshMurder Oh, and in Portugal we don't easily get vinyls, only through Internet and the Vinyl Players are as rare as a €500 bill in a midle class man's pocket.

[hambone9119]

@PoshMurder I shop at a great independent store for vinyl as well im 23, I kind of like the age effects of vinyl it ages with you, i kind of like that its more real, things age so i kind of like that, I dont mind scratches and pops as long as it is looked after it should play relatively fine, and I just found a copy of creme Disraeli Gears in the trash in Mint, what a find.

[tuggaboy]

@PoshMurder By the way, where are you from? In Portugal we can't find that easily, the easiest way is eBay or sthg.

[Scorpionbrnu]

@skippers96 I got one from my local music store. If you have one you might look there.

[danieleciberboy]

Nice, I like vinyl records sound
