- so, like, how do record players, cassette tapes, CD's all hold "sound" ?????
idk tbh. just kinda guessed. (i spent a week researching for this video)
also i have Instagram: / basically_him
i might start putting stuff on there idk
It still blows my mind that people figured out how to capture stereo audio on vinyls
i believe some vinyls move the needle not just side to side but up and down also
Wait until you find out how people figured out how to make chocolate
Wait until you find out how we discovered cow milk
Wait till u find out how you found out about everything
wait til you find out how people figured out how to build a computer

I still don't understand how simple vibration picks up and defines all the various instruments instead of a vague muddy nonsense sound at the same frequency, it's still like magic to me, I just don't understand how it truly works, digital music recording I can understand.
This vibration isn't just a simple sine wave - it's usually an incredibly complex and specific combination of different frequencies that your brain interprets as instruments.
In the case of music, we never really cared about the exact shape of the wave, but it sounds intentional and beautiful because we have carefully crafted it based on what sounds feel nice to the human ear. If it was random vibration it would be just muddy noise.
You're brain does the decoding of instruments.
Basically the only thing that exists is the vibrations and the sound you hear is just your interpretation of these waves
Your brain do most of the work
An arbitrary sound wave is a combination of so-called "fundamental frequencies" (a sum/superposition of pure sine waves at various frequencies and amplitudes). The specific combination of fundamental frequencies gives a sound its flavour profile, or "timbre" to use the musical jargon. For example, compare a 440Hz sine wave and a 440Hz square wave. Both are the same pitch (concert A above middle C), but "feel different", because the sine wave has one fundamental frequency (440Hz), whereas the square wave has infinitely many, each at a different amplitude (search "Fourier transform of square wave" if you want to know more).
A uni friend of mine did his Bachelor's and PhD research on the problem of identifying instruments and pitches from sound waves. If you want to give it a read, search for "Real-Time Polyphonic Pitch Detection on Acoustic Musical Signals" by Goodman and Batten in the IEEE.
Dude I just found your channel this morning and already watched through every one of your videos. These are amazing and im super happy to see your channel blowing up. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
sameee love this guy
I thought I was the only one
same. lmao@@clarski7356
True
BROOO his channel is LEGENDARY
I like this video but I have one tiny correction. For the CD section, it's not that a pit =1 and a land =0, but rather the change from a pit to a land or land to pit constitutes a 1 and a period of no change is a 0, but in your example the pit = 1 land = 0 is easier to understand.
Yes, and that was not the only simplification. Which is fine in a 5 min video. (I would like a bit more transparency on where and what the simplifications were, but that would be a lot more work and would provide almost no value, while making the video less attractive and memey...)

These inventions may seem complex, but they are actually simpler than we imagine. I admire the people who had the vision and the skill to make them a reality. They deserve every appreciation possible for their work.
still analog audio capture like this still blows my fucking mind. Somehow I have an easier time accepting how digital storage works more than analog. Like thats fucking crazy we can just inscribe sound waves into a big ole disc
Look i was also mad like you looking at things the way they worked .I watched 100s of videos just to understand the technology but the curiousity in me never ends .
Holy shit, I took technology for granted while growing up in the 90s. I really have a strong appreciation for how technologically advanced we really are, like even the cassette player is genius, I never had any idea they used magnets.
The first "pencil-to-paper" sound recording was done in 1860 by Édouard-Léon Scott De Martinville. (Couldn't play it back, of course, but he thought people could learn to "read speech" by looking at the scribbles on the paper.) In 1878 Frank Lambert recorded and played back some speech using a needle on a spinning lead cylinder. Edison did it with a wax cylinder. Emile Berliner did this on disc records starting in 1889. Magnetic recording tape was developed by the Germans in the 1930s. Americans reverse-engineered it after the war. And it was shrunk down to the size of a cassette in 1963, introduced by Philips in the Netherlands.
That's why all the stereo manuals said to avoid placing tapes near magnets and things like TV monitors that would generate strong magnetic fields. I worked in a TV master control and dubbing house; we had a huge bulk eraser that you'd turn on and it would erase the entire video master tape in a matter of seconds. The thing was so strong it would suck the tape onto it. Hard drives work the same way -- tiny magnetic fields on a spinning platter. USB flash drives and solid state drives are different though, electronic but not magnetic.
I love this channel because it talks to me like I’m 4, but doesn’t talk down to me so I actually learn in simple terms how shit actually works
The idea of the channel, the logo, and the editing to each video is just simple and yet so effective.
Every video I watch makes me more grateful and reminds me of how granted we take so many mind blowing inventions of our time
Please keep creating more content! Cheers!
Hey there! Jesus Christ loves you. He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊
Bro is destined to blow up with these high quality, informative and entertaining videos🙌
This is both the most informative video I've seen on this sorta stuff whilst simultaneously having not taught me anything at all.
now the real question is... how the frick do wireless mics work?
Waves that send the message of how to vibrate, I guess.
Analog to digital converter in the mic, sends data to a reciever, converts it from digital to analog again which records the sound
you are gonna explode in viewership one day, just PLEASE never change from this style. i promise
You have a really unique talent for simplifying complicated concepts & all so in such a short length! Will be praying to see you blow up, my guy. Keep it up
While this video is good, I still have trouble understanding how this works and why. It's like magic to me and my brain refuses to believe it or grasp what's happening, it's all so crazy and complex. I fear I'll never fully understand
The way you explain things on this channel is just so easy to understand and helped answer all my questions about these things I could never fully wrap my head around. Like seriously, much of my professors aren't this straightforward, bravo, I'm just really glad I found this channel 😊
This channel could teach you more in one video than what school may teach in a year.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my pause game. Congrats on reaching over 40,000 subscribers!!!🎉

I just wanted to say that your channel has been incredibly informative. both this and you bluetooth video explained the high-level concepts behind their technologies in such short ammounts of time, while still making 100% sense and being hella funny too. Incredible work, your channel deserves all the attention it's been getting recently and then some.
you're amazing, everything in this world is not really explained in a way that if the world ended you can recreate, there's always a few layers of abstraction, I always want to learn stuff from scratch and this video gave me just that, thank you SO much.
It’s crazy, I’ve actually wondered about this a lot. This is such a great guide to the history of sound recording tech, thanks for making this!
You have some amazing content, and I'm glad you are starting to blow up. Your channel is an amazing breath of fresh air from all the other junk on TH-cam. Please keep making videos!! ❤
This is almost exactly the type of content that I want to do. I do not have the time to edit that great or communicate my knowledge that softly yet, which is why I haven’t
I’m genially glad discovering your channel, quick and funny explanations, an instant subscriber and new supporter
really appreciate how you break down these big complex processes with such ease keep these videos coming!
Thank you man! I love learning how stuff works and while some of the still baffles me, you explained it really well! Such complex ideas and theories put into practice and most of us never even think about it! Keep creating and doing you man ❤
Your videos are so entertaining, funny, and informative. They really are amazing, so thank you, keep up the good work, and remember me when you’re famous lol :)
I always wondered for years how this worked. I'm happy there's a video that explains this in an entertaining and informative way.
Honestly didn't know that sound waves on editing software and the grooves on vinyl records were directly related like that.
Also, shoutouts for the Mega Man Classic reference at 2:34 with Magnet Man being a "futuristic magnet". Awesome stuff.
Bro I just love how you explain all this stuff, I found the channel today and I really think it’s gold, the references the tip you ask at the end, it’s so good all, thanks.
I will give my physics lectures this way since now.
Mate this is something I’ve wondered for years and never got round to actually searching. How you explained it in such simple terms is unreal, what an amazing video.
I swear this guy is soo under rated but I will give it a year and mark my words he's gonna blow up, this content is too good not to.
Lol u didn't know? he had like 1.4k subs a week ago
@@maxcychong1185 i kno lmao
The hardest thing to understand about music is how recording and playing it even works in the first place, but you nailed it in the simplest explanation I’ve ever heard. Nice. 🔥
The storytelling is so nice I could listen to a 15-20 min video from you EASILY, really great stuff. (I'll be here when it happens...please?)
Keep it up man!!
this video is perfect. the brief, quick nature and the easy to understand explanation. its so informative and brief.
i love super long, multiple hour videos. and multiple videos on the same thing.
but the presentation this was so effective and awesome. awesome work
This channel is gonna be huge. Excellent work brother 👍🏼 is this your first channel or have you made videos before? You seem like you’ve got some experience under your belt
These videos are so entertaining and you make everything so easy to understand. This channel will hit 1 million subscribers by the end of next year.
I agree.
I’ve collected records for like 5 years now and have always been curious but never actually researched it. Thank you. If all of your videos are this informative, I think I’m about to do a marathon.
This is easily the best explanation I’ve seen for how this stuff works. You simplified it in a way that’s so easy to explain and understand
You've got a real talent for making learning feel like just chilling with a friend
You can explain complex subjects in simple concepts, thank you I subscribed. Educators like this are very valuable! 👏 👍
bro... i love your content. you learn a lot. kinda unnecessary information.. but information none the less. very inspirational. Dont ever stop this madness.
You've brought 2006 TH-cam to 2004 TH-cam. Respect knuccs.
4:01 i still listen to Michael Jackson. I've been a fan for years. By the way I love your channel. I just subscribed.
You can also embed 2 channels into vinyl; the horizontal direction is one channel and the vertical direction is the second channel
I just found out about this channel and I freaking love it. The way he does the tip thing at the end is the cherry on top
Awesome stuff man. You are a one of a kind in terms of complex science stuff simplified. It is way easier to present something complexly than present something simply. You are a man of action and result. Again great stuff. Great content. Please do me a favor and never quit and pursuing what you love doing.
Great video, but the explanation at 4:24 would sadly only allow for a sine wave.
Your example uses a bit-depth of 1 Bit for every recorded sample meaning every polarity that is between -1 and +1 would have to be simplified to 0 and 1.
Love the vids but I really think taking 2 or 3 minutes more to mention essential information like that the sound is being recorded at a regular interval(sample rate) or that every sample is more than one dip or blank space would be a small trade off.
I was here before you got 100k subs
This has been something I've been wanting to know or ages. Thank you for putting this channel together!
I actually recently googled something like "how is photography not magic " and that led me down a rabbit hole of similar thoughts/questions. Your videos are the exact kinds of answers I was searching for. Fascinating stuff.
explain it in gen-z terms
💀
No
Awesome video man! Love the way you oversimply these things so dorks like myself can understand them... great job
Just found the channel and promptly binged every video. Your videos are great, keep it up🔥
Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
I really appreciate ur channel. For a change its good to learn how our daily things works 👍🏻.Also ur humour is great keep it up man.
Never thought I would be this interested in sound.. this is amazing sticking with this man forever
ive always known like "yeah there are grooves in the thing" but never how those grooves turn into ear candy
thank you so much for PROPERLY EXPLAINING everything, you deserve my 1 singular subscription
Thank you so much for this documentary! I have moved abroad since 2018 from Albania to Greece and I have been living here until now. I met my wife and we got married almost 3 yrs ago but I haven't had many friends here and my old friends don't live in Greece. The pandemic happened 2020 and since then my mental health has been getting worse and now after all of these years I'm realising that I have been lonely. I'm not the person who interacta much on socials or reaching out to my friend by calls or messages; I simply want to meet people in person and since I don't speak greek that great yet I have been struggling to make real connections and friends here in Athens. Realising now and after seeing this documentary that I have been lonely makes me want to go out and connect with people make friends and live a happy life. Thank you so much for the insight on this topic and also for the guidance in the end. God bless you! I'll keep this video on my watch list to get back on it until I won't feel lonely anymore and to remind me that we can be happy by socialising
These are so awesome! I was always so confused on record players and how they recorded the grooves in the first place. The magic word for me was ~diaphragm~ thank you for bringing a simple explanation and many hours of editing to make my monkey brain happy 🤠
Dude just to let you know I binged watched your videos and I think you are extraordinary in your field and your videos are so refreshing and your unique style of making the videos are really making it stand out I eagerly wait for your uploads......

Literally an “Explain Like I’m Five” video. I’m downloading this, it’s that important to me. Thank you man!
I love the ending with heavy arms, weak knees and mom's spagetti. These are standing for '00s. I really like this channel and just subscribed
something i’ve always wanted to look into further, and magically pops up. Thanks!!
I watched one vid and thought "well this was interesting. Probably a fluke." After two vids, I've subscribed. I really dig your stuff. Keep going!
the explanation is easier to understand than my teacher in class
Congrats on 100k brother, much deserved 🙏
Thank you!
this is what i come across when bored on school holidays, and i am not disappointed. i always wonder how things work, and now, i know how my music is even a thing to my ears. so. thank you so much, you have cured the cats curiosity.
I had a senior thesis on music recording that I wish was anywhere near this concise and fun. Well done!
I love these videos so much. Keep up the good work dude
I just found your channel and am now binge watching, Excellent videos!
I ALWAYS WANTED CHANNEL LIKE THAT THANK YOU BRO PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KEEP WORKING ON THIS
Love youre videos. So simple and still so comprehensive!
You’ll be at a million subs at least before the year is over! Keep up the great content!!
I love the way you explain things! Amazing video!
not me binging every video on this guys channel (btw awesome editing as a editor im personally impressed)
I listened attentively and I understand in theory (a little bit) how it works per the explanation but I still feel the my grasp of how all of this works hovering above my head. I just have to accept it as is, its too abstract for me to fully conceptualize, perhaps if I could practically do and see a CD/cassette/vinyl being made I'd grasp it fully but now it's all just magic that I appreciate so much because music is everything. Like the vinyl records make more sense, the CD and the binary code just...aht-aht.
I could sit and listen to this be explained in great detail for hours and my mind will just never be able to fully comprehend it. Audio and video recording are magic to me and always will be. I'll never understand how computers or electricity work outside of simple battery-wire-lightbulb connections from elementary level science class.
Good video, 5 minutes and straight to the point without seeing your face in the video. That’s why I subscribed!
