How Does This Stuff Make Sound???

so, like, how do record players, cassette tapes, CD's all hold "sound" ?????
idk tbh. just kinda guessed. (i spent a week researching for this video)
also i have Instagram: / basically_him
i might start putting stuff on there idk

I still don't understand how simple vibration picks up and defines all the various instruments instead of a vague muddy nonsense sound at the same frequency, it's still like magic to me, I just don't understand how it truly works, digital music recording I can understand.

[@adrianbik3366]

This vibration isn't just a simple sine wave - it's usually an incredibly complex and specific combination of different frequencies that your brain interprets as instruments. In the case of music, we never really cared about the exact shape of the wave, but it sounds intentional and beautiful because we have carefully crafted it based on what sounds feel nice to the human ear. If it was random vibration it would be just muddy noise.

[@sandwichqueen]

You're brain does the decoding of instruments.

[@kinisiko]

Basically the only thing that exists is the vibrations and the sound you hear is just your interpretation of these waves

[@Th4SilentOne]

Your brain do most of the work

[@JivanPal]

An arbitrary sound wave is a combination of so-called "fundamental frequencies" (a sum/superposition of pure sine waves at various frequencies and amplitudes). The specific combination of fundamental frequencies gives a sound its flavour profile, or "timbre" to use the musical jargon. For example, compare a 440Hz sine wave and a 440Hz square wave. Both are the same pitch (concert A above middle C), but "feel different", because the sine wave has one fundamental frequency (440Hz), whereas the square wave has infinitely many, each at a different amplitude (search "Fourier transform of square wave" if you want to know more). A uni friend of mine did his Bachelor's and PhD research on the problem of identifying instruments and pitches from sound waves. If you want to give it a read, search for "Real-Time Polyphonic Pitch Detection on Acoustic Musical Signals" by Goodman and Batten in the IEEE.

I like this video but I have one tiny correction. For the CD section, it's not that a pit =1 and a land =0, but rather the change from a pit to a land or land to pit constitutes a 1 and a period of no change is a 0, but in your example the pit = 1 land = 0 is easier to understand.

[@redyau_]

Yes, and that was not the only simplification. Which is fine in a 5 min video. (I would like a bit more transparency on where and what the simplifications were, but that would be a lot more work and would provide almost no value, while making the video less attractive and memey...)

Holy shit, I took technology for granted while growing up in the 90s. I really have a strong appreciation for how technologically advanced we really are, like even the cassette player is genius, I never had any idea they used magnets.

[@jeromeglick]

The first "pencil-to-paper" sound recording was done in 1860 by Édouard-Léon Scott De Martinville. (Couldn't play it back, of course, but he thought people could learn to "read speech" by looking at the scribbles on the paper.) In 1878 Frank Lambert recorded and played back some speech using a needle on a spinning lead cylinder. Edison did it with a wax cylinder. Emile Berliner did this on disc records starting in 1889. Magnetic recording tape was developed by the Germans in the 1930s. Americans reverse-engineered it after the war. And it was shrunk down to the size of a cassette in 1963, introduced by Philips in the Netherlands.

[@jeromeglick]

That's why all the stereo manuals said to avoid placing tapes near magnets and things like TV monitors that would generate strong magnetic fields. I worked in a TV master control and dubbing house; we had a huge bulk eraser that you'd turn on and it would erase the entire video master tape in a matter of seconds. The thing was so strong it would suck the tape onto it. Hard drives work the same way -- tiny magnetic fields on a spinning platter. USB flash drives and solid state drives are different though, electronic but not magnetic.

You can explain complex subjects in simple concepts, thank you I subscribed. Educators like this are very valuable! 👏 👍

[@ussselesss]

Great video, but the explanation at 4:24 would sadly only allow for a sine wave. Your example uses a bit-depth of 1 Bit for every recorded sample meaning every polarity that is between -1 and +1 would have to be simplified to 0 and 1. Love the vids but I really think taking 2 or 3 minutes more to mention essential information like that the sound is being recorded at a regular interval(sample rate) or that every sample is more than one dip or blank space would be a small trade off.
