From the time the phonograph was invented in 1877 until it was slowly phased out and replaced by other music media nearly 100 years later, the technology used to play recorded sounds changed only slightly. And today, records and record players are even enjoying a comeback. In this article, ...
Modern record players play two sizes of disc. LP (long-playing records) are about 30cm (12in) in diameter and roughly the same thickness as a CD. They spin around at a speed of 33rpm (revolutions per minute), and it takes about 20–30 minutes for the stylus to move from the outsid...
Always record in the best possible audio quality you can, but have realistic expectations, particularly with 78rpm records which are never going to be perfect. And remember, unlike CD ‘ripping’ you’ll need to use software to create individual tracks and name them. You can also clean up ...
Some recording/editing software will allow you to change the speed of the recorded audio (the "Change Speed" effect in Audacity) so you can, say, record a 33-rpm record at 45 or even 78 rpm and then convert it back to the right speed, thus saving recording time. Depending on your eq...
First… determine where you’re going to be taking your album cover photos. A formal studio with a light tent and special lighting is nice, but not really necessary. In fact, I rarely use my studio when photographing records; it’s just too much trouble to pull out the light tent, the...
Betaflight GPS Rescue mode is similar to “Return to Home” on a DJI drone. This feature is designed to fly your FPV drone back to its launch point and land it automatically in a failsafe or when your video feed gets sketchy. In this tutorial, I’m going to walk you through setting ...
Housed across the main building in St Pancras and the Library’s Boston Spa site are more than 350,000 CDs and 250,000LPs (密文唱片) ,as well as around a quarter of a million 78 RPM discs and countless cassette tapes. Andy Linehan, the Library’s Curator (馆长) of Popular Music ...
It cranks out 660 horsepower at 7,800 RPM, and goes from zero to 100 mph (161 kph) in 6.6 seconds. The top speed is estimated at 217 mph, a speed few owners will ever reach. With a compression ratio of 11.2:1, the Enzo needs some high-octane fuel to run properly -- just ...
Wider motors have larger inertia when spinning because the mass of the motor is further from the rotational axis, requiring more energy to change RPM. Consequently, wider and shorter motors are usually less responsive than narrower and taller motors, even if they have the same stator volume and...
