00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,839
so a lot of people these days know vinyl records as those giant black discs that

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:11,759
their parents listen to way back before computers and those people are somewhat

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:16,000
right in a cultural sense but if you scratch the surface you'll see that

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:21,080
vinyl records are much more than they appear to be it was all the way back in

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,840
1877 when Thomas Edison made the phonograph a device capable of both

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:30,519
recording and playing back Sounds by etching small vibrations into wax then

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,960
using a needle that could follow the path of the edge vibration and amplify

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:40,079
it into an audible spectrum and while the photograph was considered too crude

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:42,360
for practical use a decade later Edison

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:47,480
refined the creation by laying the groundwork for the recording industry at

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:52,920
the end of the 1880s based on the same technology the gramophone would play

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,120
rotating 5in discs off a spring wound

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,320
motor unfortunately these discs couldn't hold up to the sound quality of wax and

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:04,199
were really only good enough for toys experiments so how did these scratchy

15
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:09,960
little discs become the modern records we know of today well Eldridge R Johnson

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:14,520
whose company later became part of RCA developed a method of etching records

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,960
with a much greater level of detail and then later released 10 and 12in versions

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:24,759
of these records these started to Edge out wax cylinders in both quality and

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:29,000
more importantly for this time playback length this started a back and forth war

20
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,960
between Edison and Johnson on playback time which eventually led to the

21
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:37,200
development of plastic records these were far less fragile and quickly won

22
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:42,479
over the wax photograph consequently leading to the development of the lp or

23
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:46,719
longplay record many years later in the 1940s it took a long time partially

24
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,680
because of the great great depression but they did allow for more than 22

25
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,680
minutes of sound per side vinyl however has its disadvantages and while

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,520
significantly more durable than wax it would still degrade very slightly with

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,880
each playback not to mention having to wind up a record player to keep the

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,119
freaking spring motor spinning these problems were solved soon enough

29
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:12,200
original recordings would later be made into molds that could cast many many

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:17,120
more records from them lowering the issues with record degradation and as

31
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:21,599
time went on wind up Spring Motors were replaced logically with electric motors

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,319
needle started converting vibrations into electrical signals using

33
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:31,160
electromagnets and the large horn used to amplify sound was replaced with

34
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,840
amplifiers and speakers these advancements brought records into a more

35
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,280
modern era and helped them to survive to the present where they're still being

36
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:44,800
produced but wait why are they still being made aren't there better digital

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,360
media formats available that are way more convenient well while vinyl might

38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,200
not be as convenient like something like an MP3 it does have its advantages over

39
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:59,879
digital vinyl has a sound signature that many audio files consider to be warm

40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:04,319
engaging and purer than the ones in zeros you find elsewhere vinyl also has

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,519
a tendency to produce more natural less harsh sounds reducing fatigue from long

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,720
listening sessions and even with the cost of producing a physical record

43
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,680
vinyl is super cheap you can actually find many modern artists releasing

44
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,080
albums on vinyl at both mainstream retailers and independent shops so if

45
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:25,200
you're an audio Enthusiast you may want to give vinyl a chance it might just

46
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,200
spin your world right round like a record baby round round round round
