  • I'm down to buy Vinyl any time if certain songs is not on CD or Cassette (Tape).

  • There better be some good music on that disk

  • I don't know why, but this creeps me the hell out.

  • did she just say nickel nuggets?

  • God this is so fucking cool, when i have the money. i will go all vinyl

  • am i the only person that laughed when she said "nickel nuggets"?

  • The sound of CD is better (my ears say that, the science say that), but vinyl is so adorable! And yes: vinyl will never die!

  • @monsekhevlan Have you ever heard a cd and a vinyl in person?

  • @fancysnake1 Yes, of course. Me and my all equipments and softers of measure.

  • @monsekhevlan Actually, vinyl records capture the whole sound wave of a noise in music, which means it sounds better. CD's take "snapshots" of the sound wave and split it up into chunks, or steps.

  • I prefer vinyl. I got a Robert Johnson single from the 40's and it still sounds beautiful.

  • I might want to work at a Job like that.

  • I made a CD in my basement. I'd kill for a chance to transfer it to Vinyl.

  • VINYL WILL NEVER DIE!

  • @dim73467 I got your word. (2012 Saying).

  • so how come Axis/Purpose Maker records are so shittily pressed? I love JM/PurposeMaker etc but we used to pay ridiculous prices for detroit vinyl that was really low quality - sometimes the centre hole was not in the centre, or the vinyl was warped - but we paid because of the music and I am proud to have those records because they were made in Detroit and the the music was from Detroit. To say they were well made is bullshit though!

  • jeff mills sent me here

    

  • Phonautographs and phonograph cylinders are better.

  • 'Two stampers mounted in the press apply 100 tonnes of pressure.'

    What is this I don't even?

  • I want some nickel nuggets

  • I wouldnt wanna eat one of those biscuits...

  • @Raymint no. It is fact that analog sound has potentially higher sound quality than digital sound. However, the methods of recording and playing back analog sounds such as vinyls lose so much quality that even though they start with the purer sound,they end up much lower quality than cd and other digital formats. I love lp's but CDs and the majority of mp3's are in fact higher quality sound.

  • vinyl biscuits...lol

  • @gaggedanddead Vinyl Biscuits and Nickel Nuggets...sounds like an indie band I saw last week or something

  • nickel nuggets...lol

  • interesting...saw the process before...but this time i did really enjoy it...delicious vinyls!

  • Scientific fact... of what? signal-noise ratio?  channel separation? wow and flutter? rumble? click and pop?

  • who figured all this out :O

  • i love my sexual orientation

  • so basically the metal piece is the molding for all the copies made in vinyl, that's old school, now i copy my own mixes on a cd

  • Vinyl forever!

  • This lady is driving me oot of my mind with her Canadian dialect.

  • I still don't understand how the music comes out of it though....

  • @AndreasZimmerman I do :D It's really simple, I don't understand how compressed digital audio works. What happends in the computer while the file is played... only thing I know that the music software decompresses music while playing,

  • @AndreasZimmerman ,this is the example :

    vinylrecorder (search in google...)

  • Sound is just vibration. Remember the cutter used makin the original disk? The cutter machine receives the sound in the form of electricity, and cuts cuts the vibrations into The disk so that the vibrations would be reproduced if a needle is drawn over the grooves a a given number of revolutions per minute, like 45 rpm or 33 1/3 rpm. The needle in your record player receives the signal mechanically, and it is attached to an device that converts the vibrations into electricity.

  • @AndreasZimmerman Luke skywalker vibrates the needle wich uses magic to play the sound through a sandvich.

  • @AndreasZimmerman Same here.

  • @AndreasZimmerman when the needle goes over the grooves up moves up and down (it can move up and down from 20 times a second to 20,000 times a second) and so it vibrates. the vibration distorts (vibrates) a small electric signal which is amplified (with a tube or transistor (like in guitar amps)) and then this is fed to the speakers which reproduce the same motion the needle makes as it goes over the grooves on the vinyl but much louder. you can hear the music by just listening to the needle

  • @AndreasZimmerman It's essentially the vibration of the audio forms the groove's little details, and when you play it back you'll hear those vibrations. I suck at explaining it, but I'm pretty sure that's basically it.

  • Many DJs use lps still but many use cds as well as mp3s and some big name DJs I hear actually just have mp3s. Technology is moving on and mixing with digital files is becoming easier and more popular.

  • @eddiel70

    Where is the skill in that?, I've seen some DJs in the past truly own there turntables it's absolutely amazing what they can do with a needle and a record they are well experienced with vinyl and that makes for the best music because what your listening to is live it's the DJ giving you that music, I've also seen digital DJs as well and half just use prerecorded stuff and just stand there like lemons because half of it's done for them, like that say a true professional DJ is vinyl

  • So ignorant. I mean the video is good and informative but I dont appreciate the implication that records are just nostalgic technology. I mean how the hell would night clubs or DJs operate without them? Granted I dont own any records but that's because I cannot afford them. But I agree that vinyls have more depth in sound than CDs do, any day.

  • WOOT Awesome I just bought a 1970s Toshiba Music Centre, i love records and old 1970s audio equipment way better than this modern trash which lasts like a week and breaks. Been using a Rotel RA-400 AMP with my MacBook Pro perfectly well and its from 1975

  • @macnerd93 shut the fuck up

  • @echobears why don't LOL :P

  • cant Dj with a cd on my turntables.

  • I've read threads at the Amazon.com forums that records aren't being made in the same manner as they were in the '50s-'60s and thus they aren't always a good listen anymore. I guess you have to run the new ones, right out of the package, through one of these vacuum cleaner machines in order to clean the debris that gets stuck in the grooves.

  • I wonder if the music in this video was digital or vinyl... oh wait, no i don't

  • In the 1970s I worked in a record factory. We did all this manually, operating two machines at a time. You were able to make about 100 to 120 records per hour. One of the worst jobs I had!

  • I want to make vynil disk using audio files from my PC but I dont need to make automatically like 1000 of them.. do you know any auto/semi auto /manual equipment that will allow me to make a master record and mold the vynil disk with labels etc ?

  • im glad that i started mixin with vynils... so wonderful.. it's like feeling the sound under your fingers

  • I prefer physically packaged music over MP3s. I mean I can understand the convenience of having music on the go. I even have some of my CDs on my phone. But the packaging, that matters. And vinyl, there's no shuffle button, there's no downloading in seconds, no battery going dead. It's worth the trouble. If you disagree, go out and buy a vinyl. I recommend Pink Floyd's Animals as a starter.

  • @clw550235 Animals <3 I'm 16, and I just started listening to vinyl, and found Animals in my dads collection. Absolutely amazing.

  • @paulieg6868 Haha lucky. I'm 16 too, and I haven't found a copy of Animals anywhere, new or used. I even checked Amazon. They need to rerelease a vinyl of it for sure.

  • That is very amazing to vid!!!

  • were can i send some audio tracks to b recorded into vinyl records?

    and how much it would cost

  • @locoj13 Theres companies that can do it but they dont do just one or two. they do runs of like 100 or 200 etc.

    I cant remember any of the company names thought :\

  • no vinyls = no DJs

  • Actually..they've made a "mother" to make the stampers from ...

  • haha "biscuits"

  • now i would like to see how picture discs are made.

  • Some people think that vinyl is better than CD. That means some people really understand the meaning of music.

  • @craneywatch

    Some people don't have a clue how to define "better sound". Vinyl doesn't sound different because it's technically superiour, in fact it's just a sort of sound coloration due to technical limitations that leads to a sound that is often describe as "warm" or "silky". Of course it's fine to like this sound coloaration but it's also fine if someones prefers a sound that is as close to the master tapes/files as possible - that can be only archieved with digital, lossless mediums.

  • @DocSommer You sound like a really knowledgeable person. Did you have some sound/music education or/and experience?

  • @craneywatch

    not professional-wise but HIFI/HomeCinema/Audio-Video-Ed­iting are sort of hobbies for me

  • @craneywatch

    Some people think that CD is better than vinyl. That means some people really understand the meaning of music.

  • I cant explain how awesome this is. I appreciate my vinyls so much more now.

  • @Janto43ver You just took the words out of my mouth :)

  • what in the blue hell is up with this music

  • First record was made in 1881, I just watched the video a few down the list from this one, thats pretty amazing.

  • That's unbelievable

  • what does she mean "still BELIEVE"? she should say still KNOW.

  • @TheLoneWolf1124

    LP was better when the studios use reel to reel for there master as it was true Reproduction before 89, Now they use dat which is sample rate, which still sound good, if you listen to a SACD which has about the same bit rate as a DAT deck DSD and 24-bit, 176.4 kHz PCM recordings, as the music is recorded on to a dvd 7.3gb. It will sound better then LP, but it will cost you $800 for a good SACD player an also play CD'S and DVD's and you need a good receiver or preamp/amp.

  • @RetroPCDOS

    If you want to hear how good digital really sounds, pickup a good highend SACD player with SACD's of course or a pro DAT, just stay away from cd's as bitrate is low 44.1 khz 16bits, and stay far away from mp3's

  • @RetroPCDOS i dont want to sound like a jackass or someone who just wants to cause a fight, but why would a song that is produced digitally sound any better on a Vinyl than on its native format mp3? im not saying there is something wrong with vinyl, but how does it sound any better?

  • Comment removed

  • @FlamingMicrowav

    Vinyl sounded better, when they were using reel to reel for their master, before 1989, after that they when digital using DAT for mastering, so no point in buying vinyl for music after 1989, the best format is SACD right now which uses DSD and 24-bit, 176.4 kHz linear PCM for sound and no studio uses MP3 format for master, MP3 format for the bus or train, not for any serious listening, the different is like downloading a movie and watching a mpeg4 vs blu-ray disc

  • @RetroPCDOS I think I understand, but does SACD fit in your computer disc drive or is it like a vinyl where you can only play it in a specific type of player?

  • @FlamingMicrowav

    It pretty much a DVD, label as a Super Audio CD, a form of digital audio storage, it hold 7.95gb of data, Dynamic range is 120db and has true Discrete surround, stream data at an uncompressed rate of 5.6 Mbps, so you are getting studio quality sound. As players goes I am using a Denon DVD-2910, you can buy a Sony as most of their ES dvd players or blu-ray drives will support SACD, you want to spent at least $600 for a good player with more then one DAC and discrete circuits.

  • ahaha "a cut above" nicee

  • LOL! but dude how?

  • but how did they make them when lp were first invented? they dident have all this machinery then

  • @CoolHeal20 Magic! :p

  • no wonder 12" are dead. look at all the labor to make one!

  • Vinyl records make you appreciate the music more; there's no "Shuffle" button.

  • whoever invented vinyls was a genius.

  • @TheCarmacon that would be mr edison

  • @Tenorcapacity121 haha thanks mate :)

  • I think a new record sound better than a cd

  • @spintecmaster

    they do and that is a proven fact.

  • That's intense.

  • Old Skhool!

  • damn it takes this long to make Vinyl no wonder they sound so much better

  • Is their a way where we can get a couple vinyls made from the music we want especially this new music coming out?

  • @juelz714cali Everything released today is available on vinyl. Contact your local music shop or just look on amazon or eBay! It is out there trust me!

  • @juelz714cali Everything released today is available on vinyl. Contact your local music shop or just look on amazon or eBay! It is out there trust me! Stores don't stock it but they can get it for you!

  • What an honor my grandfather had to see his copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band be made before his very own eyes in Mid-1967.

  • CDs and MP3s are great, but vinyl's more fun.

  • Fuck Music! Sound all the way?!

    .. but vinyls are undeniably awesome.

  • Fuck Music! Sound all the way?!

  • SON VINILOS DE TEGO CALDERON 

  • @bcoco85 son de flex/nigga

  • Very nice production. I always wondered how my LPs were made. Thank you for this!

  • for me they,re way tooo late to reintroduce lp,s since i skipped to cd,s 12 years ago,it sound crisper,no pops,sshhh,hizzy sounds.

    also when i was 9 years old,i was so excited about lp technology hoping finding music from my taste but i dit,nt found,so i forced myself to listen to outdated music,

    once i accepted the dead of lp,s,they sudenly come back with it,shame!!!!!

  • I see how it's done but still can't believe it. It's hard to believe something as finely and precisely created as the original master can go through being sprayed with silver, dunked in nickel, and pressed onto more lacquer and have the final reproduction sound as good as it does. Talk about some incredibly smooth and almost atom-fine materials.

  • Nickle nuggets? 0_o

  • I don't understand why they talk of this as some kind of silly pondering - IT IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT THAT ANALOGUE IS THE TRUER TECHNOLOGY.

  • @Raymint

    I listen to vinyl exclusively but I question why you say 'scientific fact'. While vinyl is often more musical, the frequency response is a lot lower and the noise floor compared to CDs is pretty crappy too. Cite where you read this 'fact', please.

  • Comment removed

  • @Raymint I prefer lps myself but what do you mean by "truer technology" and how is it a scientific fact? Confused.

  • @Raymint Except for the fact that they used a digital recording to make this record. So in this case, no, it's not.

  • @Raymint Care to prove that mr hipster?

  • @Raymint Yes it is a scientific fact, however the subjective outcome differs per the individual.

  • @Raymint

    You do realise that it doesnt mean shit if the source is digital, right? Like 99% of the recordings that are done today.

  • i know i never have so much fun watching them make cds booooriiing lovein VINYL

  • If they have to do all this shit even with all these machines and computers, HOW THE FUCK DID THEY DO ALL THIS SHIT BACK IN THE DAY D:

  • @NesZeppelin That's what I am wondering too.

    That and who the fuck came up with all of this stuff? I mean, sure it was invented, but damn... so many steps.

  • @NesZeppelin THE machines are actually the same ones used 40 years ago.

  • @outlawcountryman No, i mean like WAAAAAAY back. Vinyl dates back later than the 30's!!

  • WOW..I want a biscuit! At first I thought the disc was all now silver medal...then they showed the final phase and I'm like OOOOH...

    So quick question... do modern vinyl discs still have pops and stuff in the sound?

  • @dreemaze pops and stuff develop over time and use. If you open a record from the 60's that was never played it will not have any pops or sounds other than the music.

  • It's great to see that this process still requires human labor...making vinyl records with love.

  • This video needs WAY MORE orchestra hits.

  • @chulk607

    Orchestra Hits; the Lens Flare of music.

  • @spookypen

    Haha, very true!

  • As a dj I live vinyl but if you watch the first video it clearly shows that all vinyl is is an mp3 pressed on to wax so the quality isn't going to be any better., now back before computers when it was a direct recording on to wax then copied it was better quality.

  • @boogerman087 It wouldnt be an .mp3 it would be an lossless format like .wav or .aiff that they used for the master. They havent "directly recorded" onto vinyl for decades, it was taken off tapes or other storage mediums before digital recording technology was available, recording studios where the music is recorded dont have lathes in them to cut records, well 99% dont. Majority are cut in specialised places.

  • @boogerman087 It was never a direct recording to vinyl. Pre 80s used reel to reel tapes for studio masters, and then they switched to DAT (digital audio tape) in the late 80s. As far as the digital/analog debate... Almost everything produced since around '89 has been digitally mastered, so the sound argument only applies to music recorded before then.

  • I love vinyl, analog all the way! Digital sounds cold and tinny, analog done well is un-comparable, if it aint broke don't fix it.

  • @vamtim it was just a little broke a little broke a little broke alittle broke shhhhshshhshsh *pop* *hiss*

  • i never thought it would be so much work

  • thats wha its called press

  • how its made has such fucking lame jokes

  • music is recorded digitally first anyways so its not the same as before

  • @paulusandronicus That isn't necessarily a bad thing IF the records are made from original TAPE masters. However, new records made from groups who offer vinyl, are completely dependent on the engineers- who in general are not the men that signed and labored over the records of lore.

  • @Real1shepherd right, that is what i meant. The new recordings are all made digitally and if they offer a vinyl version it is made using that digital master unlike old vinyl which was made using a completely analog recorded master.

  • @paulusandronicus That's not what I meant though-you can buy digitally mastered records that were made from the original tape masters. There is where it's advantageous to use digital processing. There is presently a war going on between digital and analog. This is ridiculous, as the two can easily work together. Using old TAPE masters, any decent engineer can come up with the same sound/content as the originals, so nothing is really lost. I buy them all the time.

  • @Real1shepherd its still not the same because you are translating an analog signal into a digital one and using compression (studios use high quality 24/192 or higher) and then turning it back to analog to make the vinyl. So in doing those conversions information has been lost along the way and the theoretical advantage of vinyl is no longer so great. If we compare it to CD quality then yes vinyl is still better; however HD uncompressed audio formats are a different story.

  • @paulusandronicus I disagree. Many studios use bit sampling higher than your example and are truly 'loss-less'. The only disadvantage to digital, is that it's exactly cut off at 20-20kHz.. This is a myth being perpetuated by the $5,000++ TT crowd; wherein vinyl is always superior to digital. I challenge you (or anyone), to sink that kind of money into a digital player and then compare the two formats.

  • wow, so much effort.

    i didn't know it goes through so much work...

  • I want a vinyl now... :3

  • Dang it's beautiful! Vinyl forever.

  • i stopped watching half way through, to go get a biscuit and some nuggets

  • Stiffin' The Disc and Nickel Nuggets,

    lol!

  • 2:37- Put your arm in that.

  • Haha, biscuits

  • fascinating! way better than cd's, more bigger shinier slicker blacker!!!

    like the coloured and picture vinyls aswell!!

  • the process is fascinating

  • I personally prefer cds to vinyl but this is damn interesting to see.

  • the biscuits look like little ice cream sandwiches or a cookie treat with the lables on them before they are pressed....yes delicious vinyl indeed

  • mmm... delicious vinyl.

  • @lokenovez DVS All the way! 12" vinyl's a rip off, just for a couple of track's,esp when you only want 1 of the track's it's better to DL'em, then use a DVS. If the sound quality is too over produced for you, then you can load up some pop's & crackle effects, if that's ya thing? Tech all the way! Oh yeah, I've been a vinyl DJ since 91, so I'm not slating it but times are tuff & wasting my H E £ on V's every week for less track's-nah!, Buy the MP3's that you actually like + DVS ...Sweet! Peace!

  • @NyckiDee Theres a LOT of stuff on vinyl you cant find on computers to download! Esp music of the 30s 40s 50s! Most of the time you just got top 40 hits, which really sucked compared to alot of music which was never or rarely played on air in those days because they were considered risque and vogure, but they were the most creative and had the best beats!

  • No wonder they are so expensive

  • Wow, I really didn't know how much work and effort went into making a vinyl! I collect punk vinyls and they sound so much better on my turntable than an mp3!

  • It takes 100 tons of pressure to stamp the grove into the biscuit, wow. Fascinating video.

  • 33 & 45 rpm rules!!!

  • Just finished listening to Triumph on vinyl :)

    It's true, it has more depth in the song. Cd's and mp3's feel flat now when I listen to them.

  • vinyl the boss

  • this fuking insane

  • hahaha nickel nuggets

  • man...biscuits are AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • These two videos helped me soooo much for a project I'm doing!

    Thanks, a ton!! :D :D

  • Vinyls and turntables are the best! I had my long casette-period, CD-period etc. but now I say that vinyl has the best sound and "soul". And my 30 years old Dual 714Q turntable is an other piece of magic...

  • This was so beautiful, it had me in tears.

  • After watching this, vinyl seems a hell of a lot more advanced than CDs.

  • The second part of this video was awesome.

  • I think once sound touches a binary formula theres no reason to put it on vinyl, but i think no matter what music you press to vinyl, theres a seperation between frequencies that isnt present on a computer.  You can obviously hear the difference between analog recorded albums and digitally recorded albums, uhh fleet foxes and the black angels for some new examples.

    And dubstep on plates is fucking sick.

  • Vinyl is still better than CD, SACD, DVD-A.

    Vinyl(analog) >> speakers(analog) = no loss of music fidelity

    CD/SACD/DVD-A(digital) >> speakers(analog) = conversion
