You should watch Chris Monty's Digital Audio Primer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9jemV1T7I and part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQ9IXSUzuM

His skill at explaining engineering concepts for a general audience is truly amazing.

Thanks for link!

To me, honestly, the invention of vinyl records is like one of the most incredible, lifechanging things, up their with the telephone and camera and all that

That you could bring a whole orchestra into your parlor and have them play any time off record is insane
