That woudl've been nice yeah. I was kinda hoping for a more in-depth explanation. It would've probably added a minute to the video so it's not unreasonable either. Still enjoyed the video, though I agree with you.
At a high level, sound is essentially just vibrating air particles that we can sense with our ears. To record sound, we need a way of tracking these vibrations overtime, which produces a waveform like in the video. Analog (not digital) devices like Ed's use a cone to focus these vibrations at the back of the cone onto a needle which begins to vibrate in the same pattern as the sound. The needle is pressed into a moving soft surface where it can then imprint the waveform. To replay what you have recorded. You only need to do the opposite, run a needle over the waveforms and through an amplifier. You'll most commonly recognise this as a record player, where the needle runs over the grooves in the record which contain the waveform. The last thing to note is that the speed at which you play recordings must match the speed of the recording otherwise you'll change the pitch of the record. These days this is all done digitally, but we still are just recording a waveform and replaying the vibrations through speakers. Hope that helps
For someone who can't hear the lyrics, here's what Au clair de la lune is pronounced in english letters: Au clair de la lune (Oh Klair Duh La Liewh Nah) Mon ami Pierrot (Mo Na Mee Pyeh Rhrhoe) Prête moi (Preh Tuh Mwa)
I'm sorry Great Big Story, but this is a bit stretched... It was not de Martinville's intention to record or capture sound. He was more of studying sound waves, and his phonautograph is more comparable to a seismometer. He understood he was capturing sound waves but not the sound itself, and he had no intention of playing them back. To say he was the first to record sound is a little stretched, because it would be over 150 years after his invention that computer technology would be able to convert it back into legible sound.
It doesn't matter whether it was back-playable. Sound recording refers to any mode of collecting and storing audial (any type of mechanical wave, which means it is also applicable to seismic waves as mentioned by you) information.
He invented a lot of things himself. But he also started, owned and operated a laboratory where other people he paid worked on inventing stuff. When someone who worked for him invented something, all the credit would go to the company and Edison personally.
@@RandomVidsforthought I'm fluent in French and couldn't recognize a word of the song. I know the song pretty well. Not sure who can recognize tnat voice. And if it can't be recognized then I'm not sure why we insist on it being a human voice
@@RandomVidsforthought yes totally agree, but to say it's recognizable human voice is a stretch. I'm fine with it being the first recorded noise though or sound, not a human voice
What song, sound or instrumental makes you feel amazing? 🤩👇
🌝
Anything RnB, aka the entirety of An Evening with Silk Sonic debut album.
Piano accordion
I love the sound of the bagpipes, not sure why but when I hear them play its so soothing to hear. Same with the accordion.
Guitar, drums, violin, cello love every instrument honestly
Maybe a brief explanation of how the sound is played back after being recorded would be nice.

@@ryanse4 that's not typical for this channel. you need to look it up yourself.
The Joe Scott channel has a recent video with a fuller explanation.
You cant play back the sound without a computer it was only to record sound

That sound playback is something I absolutely would not want to hear in a dark hallway. Especially if got louder as I approached somewhere.
WHOA. I USED TO WATCH THIS CHANNEL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, BUT WHEN IT STOPPED MAKING VIDEOS ON 2020, I GOT SO UPSET. I'M SO GLAD IT'S BACK
Now we can listen to it over and over again
0:00 holy heck this is the same speakers i have
I just watched the video from Joe Scott. I must say this one is great too!❤
So it was Joe! I knew I heard about the same topic somewhere recently, it was a weird deja vu for a while.
Note that Edison was more of a company leader with many people working for him and inventing new stuff.
Yes, but did that occur with the phonograph?
God I am so glad you guys are back
SAME
GBS presented Ed's redemption arc
Thank you for making this video!!
I found the sounds of it to be a bit creepy
🙄🙄🙄
Cleaned up, it sounds better.
That alarm clock noise gave me ptsd
props to the guy who traveled to 1857 Paris just to record this historical moment
Take that Edison!
For someone who can't hear the lyrics, here's what Au clair de la lune is pronounced in english letters:
Au clair de la lune (Oh Klair Duh La Liewh Nah)
Mon ami Pierrot (Mo Na Mee Pyeh Rhrhoe)
Prête moi (Preh Tuh Mwa)
Heck yeah new upload!
GBS Nice 🎤
That’s cool as man
Pretty cool story !!!!!!
So cool
Wow!
Thanks for yapping all over the recording
I bet you're one of those people that can dislike absolutely any video. Wow, I've truly stumbled upon something rare.
The video was good. But they could have kept silent to let us listen to what the whole thing was about. @@geo3106
I have to agree. A brief moment of not talking would have made this clip more interesting.
Anyone else waiting for Ryan George to step out?

It doesn't really matter what he was doing it for. He was the first to record sound, regardless of whether it was intended to be heard
One of the stupidest comments I have ever read lmao.
Where is this in inventor buried and what’s the name of the cemetery
Great big story watched joe scott's video from last week? Lol
I thought Thomas Edison never invented anything
He invented a lot of things himself. But he also started, owned and operated a laboratory where other people he paid worked on inventing stuff. When someone who worked for him invented something, all the credit would go to the company and Edison personally.
Duh.
🎉
Friends that don't accept you for who you are, aren't really your friends. Your true friends will never try to change you.
Story time ?
Thomas Edison is the orignal Steve Jobs. He took people who actually invented shit and marketed it as his own genius.
ive heard of sounds before
A
I LOVE SOUND!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shoulda woulda coulda, I’m still placing Edison at #1. But I am a biased American
you're saying that this is recognisable human voice? it's the noise of a fly!
It's really a human voice

@@elieobeid77 Well considering it's the first audio recording, you can understand why the quality isn't the best.

Truly shitty robot style would be to use it for shopping lists.

Poor Thomas Edison, a genius who made the first claim on 1093 USA patents, died poor, and world history sadly keeps showing up.
