00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.839
so a lot of people these days know vinyl records as those giant black discs that

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:11.759
their parents listen to way back before computers and those people are somewhat

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:16.000
right in a cultural sense but if you scratch the surface you'll see that

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

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:25.840
1877 when Thomas Edison made the phonograph a device capable of both

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:30.519
recording and playing back Sounds by etching small vibrations into wax then

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.960
using a needle that could follow the path of the edge vibration and amplify

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:40.079
it into an audible spectrum and while the photograph was considered too crude

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.360
for practical use a decade later Edison

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.480
refined the creation by laying the groundwork for the recording industry at

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:52.920
the end of the 1880s based on the same technology the gramophone would play

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.120
rotating 5in discs off a spring wound

00:00:52.920 --> 00:01:00.320
motor unfortunately these discs couldn't hold up to the sound quality of wax and

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.199
were really only good enough for toys experiments so how did these scratchy

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:09.960
little discs become the modern records we know of today well Eldridge R Johnson

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:14.520
whose company later became part of RCA developed a method of etching records

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.960
with a much greater level of detail and then later released 10 and 12in versions

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:24.759
of these records these started to Edge out wax cylinders in both quality and

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:29.000
more importantly for this time playback length this started a back and forth war

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:32.960
between Edison and Johnson on playback time which eventually led to the

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:37.200
development of plastic records these were far less fragile and quickly won

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:42.479
over the wax photograph consequently leading to the development of the lp or

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:46.719
longplay record many years later in the 1940s it took a long time partially

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.680
because of the great great depression but they did allow for more than 22

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.680
minutes of sound per side vinyl however has its disadvantages and while

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:59.520
significantly more durable than wax it would still degrade very slightly with

00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:03.880
each playback not to mention having to wind up a record player to keep the

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.119
freaking spring motor spinning these problems were solved soon enough

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:12.200
original recordings would later be made into molds that could cast many many

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:17.120
more records from them lowering the issues with record degradation and as

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:21.599
time went on wind up Spring Motors were replaced logically with electric motors

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:26.319
needle started converting vibrations into electrical signals using

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:31.160
electromagnets and the large horn used to amplify sound was replaced with

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:36.840
amplifiers and speakers these advancements brought records into a more

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:41.280
modern era and helped them to survive to the present where they're still being

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:44.800
produced but wait why are they still being made aren't there better digital

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:49.360
media formats available that are way more convenient well while vinyl might

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:54.200
not be as convenient like something like an MP3 it does have its advantages over

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:59.879
digital vinyl has a sound signature that many audio files consider to be warm

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:04.319
engaging and purer than the ones in zeros you find elsewhere vinyl also has

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.519
a tendency to produce more natural less harsh sounds reducing fatigue from long

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.720
listening sessions and even with the cost of producing a physical record

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.680
vinyl is super cheap you can actually find many modern artists releasing

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:21.080
albums on vinyl at both mainstream retailers and independent shops so if

00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:25.200
you're an audio Enthusiast you may want to give vinyl a chance it might just

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:30.200
