How Vinyl Records Are Made
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.
100% agree. This was not a good video.
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
Sam B There are SO MANY of these KIND of videos, but this is a very abbreviated version and 4:26 of our life we can’t get back.😫If you’re going to do YET ANOTHER “How Vinyl Records Are Made” video, give details and specifics all the way through. Too many out there as it is.🙄🎧
Jac you know you can listen to vinyls with no speakers yeah?
@@StudioCluiss neither speakers nor turntable cartridges are binary devices, they are not just on or off.
Still, i'll never fully understand how it's possible that actual music is produced by a needle touching grooves
~vibrations~
@@duon44 heck yeah ahahah
Incredibly high fidelity music at that
It's called science dumbass!!
@@sopaman1234 if you can't seem to clearly explain it yourself you don't understand it good enough
Plot twist : The dog actually runs the business and Tom is just a cover up.

😱😱😱You're RIGHT!!!😱😱😱
Humans always take credit for everything.
3:52 "i feel like I'm part of the process"
That is word for word what I was about to comment wtf
You know too much brah.
This did NOT tell, how vinyl records are made. It told only tiny part of the process. This was more like an ad of that company. I was maintenance engineer in a company which made vinyl record on 70’s and all the cut vaste vinyl was reused. So that is nothing new. Why not to reuse the vinyl?
Lmao
I know right! They didn't show the groves being carved in.🤦♂️
Yeah, the most interesting part is the production of the masters and stampers.
I'm especially curious how modern HD vinyl stampers are made, I mean, using lasers to etch the stampers... man that's fancy!
Plenty of videos on the process of making a master out of a lacquer though.
@@QoraxAudio HD Vinyl is now dead as they could not achieve the proper results using a digital laser.
@@michaelhorgan9525 Really? Too bad... would've been very interesting!
Good job choosing the most annoying music imaginable for this music related video
Exactly. It's the worst possible set of tracklist one can come up with. It's like late 80's porn behind the scene, kind type.
this that music drug companies play on the commercials when they’re telling you all the shit the drug can do to your body haha
Lol true🤣🤣
There’s such thing as a VOLUME BUTTON
@@spx_satan true
Now that that’s covered, how do they *work* ?
Bumps on the grooves register different sounds on the playing head
D.S. Mabrur Hyder thanks
There's a guy that uses a powerful microscope on youtube to look at random stuff. He's done CDs, CPUs, vinyl, etc
@@smash461986 who is it
@@thomasmussmann8321 I can't remember. Was something I stumbled across and was fairly interesting. Try searching CD or cpu under microscope.
The most important thing was skipped over.
How you make the groves and how often the master needs to be changed.
As a mechanical manufacturing process, the quality of die and mold drops after each press
Would expect nothing less than a cheap Insider video to miss crucial aspects of the manufacturing process. Mainstream media blows
“This is Luna, she doesn’t help, she is a dog” 😂
Dog help, it makes the person happier
She helps more than you think
DO YOU HAVE KALAMANSI ?
Why has this got so many likes😂
that's the perfect disguise
This video doesn't really explain much. I was hoping it would show the process of using a cutting lathe to cut the grooves onto the master, and show a close up detailed view of how the groves from the master is impressed onto the vinyl.
2:10 She's got that 'I hate everything' look.

LOL! My thoughts exactly. She is *not* happy in her work, her boss has no charisma, and I have crappy pressings.
I was thinking that lmaoo like uhhh she aint inspecting the vinyls

Not to be rude but I'm pretty sure luna is running the whole show
The methane gas from his poop powers the presses.
Oh boy, the red vinyl coming out of the press at 3:40 is already warped...
signs of a terrible pressing plant
I’m new in this game, how can you tell so easily, I couldn’t really notice anything?
@@joeysharma84 if you look closely if it doesn't stack neatly on the pile then it's warped.

The warped ones get thrown away

She it's pretty
@@redgreenblue1208 so tf she's not 💀
I thought the same.
Sister wid de attitude
Looks far easier than any job I ever worked in my life
You can easily tell she doesn't like her job 2:10
Nobody would like that Job
IKR!!!
Do y'all think running your own business is constant adventure and excitement?? Like any job, there are necessary tasks that you perform by rote.
Not sure why so many people are pointing this scene out.
Maybe she didn't really want to be filmed. Maybe her cat just died. Maybe she just got turned down for a home loan. Maybe she just realized she could have been saving 15% or more on her car insurance if she had just switched to GEICO. YOU DON'T KNOW HER STORY...
She looks like she is focused and concentrating on doing her job correctly. Have you never seen that before? What is she supposed to be doing, dancing and singing while she works?
2:09 well, she certainly loves doing her job
lol, you can see her again at 3:45
I am very intrigued why she is like that
How about you try doing this for your living wage? I don't think you'll be all too happy too.
@@fion3943 same can be said for nearly all blue-collar jobs but it can even be applicable to many of the white-collar jobs
It depends on the pay, the hospitality, and many other things
I'm sure if you have to do the same shit every single day you would feel like that.
@@ratplaga9845 I don't know, she seems more irritated than hopeless,

Me: taking extreme caution when touching my vinyl
The production company: Drop the vinyl 1.5M
Vinyl records are real durable actually.
I just found my Grandpa's vinyl collection and his old turntable that thankfully still works today, I played it and I was fascinated how a spinning circle with a needle riding on it produce great music! Surprisingly we have the same music taste which wad great so I can jam to it anytime. 😀
good for you!
Far too little real information.
When you make a "how" video, leave out the personalities
and present only what strictly pertains to the subject matter.
David O'Banion ok.....but did I ask
@@nickj7335 ok...but was he talking to you
It takes 1:10 before they even start addressing the question and doesn't explain why vinyl needs to be mixed and mastered differently. What is so wrong with making informative and to the point videos?
thanks God
Awesome, but i still dont know how vinyls are made
"inspected" lol might as well automate her job
Love how they gloss over making the grooves. You know the groves have to be different for each song/album. How they doing that insider?
Not a whole lot of inspecting going on. Which strengthens my case that new vinyl is not being pressed at top quality. I’d say 70% of the brand new vinyl I purchase has warps and most of all scuffs and scratches.
Yeah you have to see which label you trust nowadays
2:10 you can tell she loves her job
*I always wanted to know that*
I didn't, but hey! Now i know :)
bo
if luna is a dog, she is helping
exactly, probably most important job at the factory.
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?
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
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.
When that one fell at the end? Yeah, those are the ones I end up with.
First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it
after watching, i don't feel like buying any record made in that factory.
Meh just wait until you see GZ Media pressing plant...
thanks for letting me know that dog is a dog
the movie _High Fidelity_ told me you’re not supposed to stack records horizontally...
And what's the reason behind it?
@@pedrovisgueira Because when you stack a lot of record onto each other, the weight can destroy them!
That's for shipping crates, record stores and then your house
The girl who's packing the record is just throwing them around like there not fragile 😂
I, a 19-year old who got a gramophone yesterday, consider a gramophone record the most fragile object in the world. My father who got all the records in his younger years taught me how to hold them too.
Not gonna lie but that ad/commercial is amazing. I'm 12 and I love everything 60s to 80s
2:11 guuurl chill!!
1:00 oh thank you insider, I didn't know it was a dog.
New information 💯
This is Luna
She doesn't help
She is a dog
*well yeah i can see that*
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...
The girl looks super happy with her job!
my love for vinyls are endless now that i know how they make it, its so cool wtf
The plural of vinyl is vinyl.
I have vinyls on my floor.
I'd rather put records on my turntable than pieces of floorboard lol
I also love vinyl I still unsure the hifi I got when I was 14 I'm in my 40s now back then things were made to last lol. I'm still using vinyl, cassette tapes and cds. I do have a lot of music on my kindle but if hime i tend to togo old school. I also live that even toady amny bands sell their albums on vinyl and cassette tapes 😃 if available ill always buy new albums on nit only on download and cds ill always get it on vinyl too 🎶 🎵
2:10 She loves her job!
This video taught me one thing: hydraulic presses are used for more than just stupid RUclips videos.
A shame that the video doesn't discuss how the master audio is actually converted into proper physical data.
I always wondered what the process was like in making a record, it is interesting
The part were the record is trimmed at the side and the way the label is pressed.
the most replayed parts of this video is when the puerto rican girl come on 😂😂😂
To me records seem like a futuristic technology. Stamping wave files on a big disc and then playing them with a needle while it spins. Yet it’s been around 100 years.
I love how they pointed out that the dog doesn’t help with the vinyl making and business 1:02
i love the how fan is so loud you can barely hear him
2:09 that girl said, “I’m over this😒”
2:10 she looks so happy uh to be there 😂😂😂
I think this is so great. Something from the past is revitalized for today's consumer all because it's unique to the point where it stands the test of time. I bought a new record player all because I found some old classic vinyls that my sister inlaw have had, and i"m so enjoying it.
Shut up hipster.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 shut up triggered snowflake.
Vinyls seem like such a nightmare to have though. CDs ftw
Also, are you *really* the kind of guy that uses “triggered snowflake” as a comeback?
@@catsinwonderland7473 Just came home from a fum trip. Lost some money at the casinos, but just can't revel on it . Looking forward for tomorrow. The weather is going to be fair, and riding my bike for a couple of hours on my route will be fum, and enjoying. Tonight though I'm going to have to go setup my rack system. I use to use zip ties, but meow Ive changed it since it's costing me money. Right meow I'm using tention straps. It's really useful and reusable so meow I don't have to waste anymeow money.
@2:11 handling them with such care "just throw it in the opening" lol
Luna definitely the most important member of the company
she responsible to keep the employees moral high
Yes good sir. You are indeed a part of the process and are loved for it
I love that records are back
Flac rulz! Just kidding, I appreciate both formats😆. I am glad that vinyl has made a comeback over the last few years. Nothing like owning an album I can actually hold in my hands.
Where does it show how a stamper is made to press into the album?
How does insider post there videos so fast
It's not one RUclipsr
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.
@3:45
That’s a flimsy final “inspection”.
3:43 - QC (Level Zero) "What Not To Do"
2:10 - Pretty sure she spent more time looking at each record at this point.
It's no wonder that there are so many garbage pressings that come right out the shrink wrap. Ask anyone who ever goes and buys a used album if they ever spend that much time in looking at just 1 album. btw, not that i used a stop watch, but i bet that wasn't even 2 seconds. so everything looked okay, up to that point, so it looks like it's a thumbs down for me.
The black Lady working there is beautiful.
The guy who owns the place seems a few lemons short of a lemon party
I know a huge company that prints the covers for Vinyls. They have a large grab of the industry. Would be a neat video to follow up. BTW...this company recently won two Emmys for covers.
Straight to the comments just to make sure I wasn’t the only one 😅
He 'feels' like he is part of the process. That is SO sweet.

They don't show the master fabrication and the absolutely enormous amplifier they use to crave the the tracks. It's not a joke it's actually made like this.
Don’t disrespect Luna like that.
i love how they felt the need to include the dog
Well, the owner has the personality of a plank of wood. I think they wanted to make him appear like a nice guy.
I miss buying vinyl records! *45's 33's and some 78's* Memories! And hearing sound of needle on record player arm. 💿💿💿
You can... Still buy vinyl records?
@@l.398 yes, but I guess I miss buying them at *Tower Records* and *Wherehouse Records* There's a great line in movie *Almost Famous* by Miss Penny Lane _If you ever get lonely go to the record store,and visit your friends_
Yeah, I get it. The "feel" of it is kind of gone, since you can download songs way more easily, and it's less of a thing now. I really love collectinh vinyls, but miss that kind of community around it tbh, that it had back in the day.
@@l.398 You said it! ☺
@@l.398 yeah, they're in some stores.
Like Barnes and noble
I’m curious on why they stay them? Doesn’t that warp the record?

*They did dirty on the dog*
Whoever was in charge of the audio of this production should be spoken to...
This answered none of my questions. Thank you so much.
2:13 “I like music, a lot” I don’t know man, red vinyl is giving me a weird, wavy vibe...
This girl at 2:10 is way to fine to be working in a vinyl shop
The record vinyl is so iconic
Технический интерес: когда записывается звук на диск, то аудио-шероховатости на периферии диска должны быть более растянуты вдоль дорожки, а ближе к центру шероховатости должны наоборот - быть более сжаты вдоль звуковой дорожки. Чтобы звук на протяжении звучания музыки звучал с одинаковой скоростью. (Как я это понимаю).
Но ведь это по-моему сложно: достигнуть разности растянутости шероховатостей. Не так ли ?
Или всё просто ?
She did not look happy 'blowing' those used vinyl bits before they got recycled. AND she also DID NOT really inspect the finished vinyl before it went out to the customer. Fired.
Is the music stored on the sides of the groove or at the bottom of the groove? Or is the music recorded on the entire groove? Thanks for your video and hard work making vinyl records.
On the sides of the groove.
Incredible such exquisite sound can be out on disc and heard later
My vinyl record enthusiasm started 😀🥰😆
what i wanna know is the process of recording to the grooves

Are you talking about vinyls as a hole or the red one? There was a red vinyl of Blurryface right?
Pikachu On RUclips Lol, I meant vinyls in general
Polyesterine records have no paper label, the text is pressed in the record and readable, because there is a layer of paint on the surface.
Would something like this be possible on PVC records?
I like how they just talk about the dog not helping
