Fridge Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 How do records work. I mean seriously how the fuck can you record a song and then transpose it onto to vinyl Link to comment
Fridge Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just now, Sooper-hanz said: “A typical record player has a type of needle called a stylus that is placed gently on the vinyl record resting in the beginning of one of the grooves. As the vinyl disc steadily rotates the stylus moves through the wavy three dimensional grooves. The stylus is a tiny crystal of sapphire or diamond mounted at the very end of a lightweight metal bar like a needle. As the crystal vibrates in the groove, its microscopic bounces are transmitted down the bar. The stylus fits onto the end of an electromagnetic device called a cartridge, containing a piezoelectric crystal. The metal bar presses against the crystal and each time it moves, it wobbles the crystal slightly, generating an electrical signal. These signals are fed out to the amplifier to make the sounds you hear through your speakers or headphones. Not all record-player cartridges use piezoelectricity to convert sound vibrations to electrical signals. Some have tiny electrical coils and a magnet inside them. When the stylus moves, it pushes the magnet up and down past the coil, generating electrical signals that are fed to the amplifier to create sound through your speakers. “ Cheers min, that clears that right up, might go and record some songs today Link to comment

In other words, it's accepted as being fact, therefore bona fide knowledge. However, I am a fan of scepticism, the art of forever challenging what is commonly accepted as fact and knowledge, therefore your question is spot on and entirely valid.. Link to comment

Something like that. Bluto would be the man to decipher that. Link to comment

I reckon the grizzly would go fucking radge if a gorilla caught him on the chin. If the grizzler got a hold of him he’d pull his arms clean off. Gorilla be a more skilled pugilist tho. Tough call.
