Wow. I never realized there were so many steps involved. My father had a decent collection of red acetate records when I was a kid. My mom threw them out when they divorced. It would be interesting to see how CD's are made today.
Correct, however, this video is actually from the 1940's before magnetic tape was in common use, so in this era, they recorded direct to vinyl. There's a similar reel to this from the 1950's by RCA Victor which demonstrates a stereo recording being made to tape then the vinyl master being made from the tape. You can find it fairly easily on RUclips.
@@pulsecodemodulatedyeah that’s what I thought. But at the end you see the original first Elvis album on one scene. Dating this at least in the mid 50’s
More or less the same process today. Kind of ridiculous that we even talk of "today" when digital is vastly superior but there is a rich seam of hipsters to be tapped.

This is a direct-to-disc process from the early 1940's. Vinyl was mastered from magnetic tape recordings by the 50's and 60's.
When I recorded my first solo album. I used that old process. I did all the process all alone from recording all the instruments up to the pressing.

simply awesome!
This was wonderful to watch, and so interesting! Thanks for sharing!!! :^)
This is the 1940s not 50s! Not vinyl WAX!
Love this
Although the use of wax instead of shellac happened around the 1940s did they have magnetic reel tape and stereophonic sound back then?
Lacquer, not vinyl
Those are shellac records (78's), not vinyl. Or?
Isn the performance recorded on tape first ?
Your thinking of Christmas presents. Tape is used to wrap the gifts.
I was thinking the same
When did they start recording on master tape first ?

I wonder if at 18:15 it's Karajan, the Austrian conductor
It is Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony.
This isn't vinyl. It's SHELLAC 78's.
1942 this video is from
1942 not 50s 60s
