[@Samsjunk]

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.

[@chrisw3147]

100% agree. This was not a good video.

[@StudioCluiss]

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

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

[@FreedomForever2010]

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?

[@antimonia]

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

[@NoName-to5xl]

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.

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...

There's a trap question, how many grooves has a record. It's one groove per side - when the record follows the standard. Because it's possible, that a record can contain multiple grooves on one side. One example are miracle or surprise records or maybe a sports game, you have three or more grooves parallel and it's randomly, what groove you will hear. Another example is a record for broadcast use, every song or jingle ends in a loop, you can't play the whole record side continuously, but this is intentional. Number 3 is a stereo process, using two grooves and playing them parallel with a tonearm, what is equipped with 2 cartridges.
