Q(uestion). What is the difference between the various types of
record in computing, a paper record, and the kind of record that
would be sold in the shop?
The pop record is a flat vinyl disk containing spiral grooves
which a mechanical arm ("needle") follows to convert the
movements from analogue to audible (via an amplifier of some
sort).
Does not the same hold true of a rock record or a jazz record?
Do you remember Bull Moose Jackson's ribald:
Then she starts to craving for my big ten-inch...
Record of the band that play the blues!
The disk can also be made of shellac, which, although noisier, has
its advantages.

It could also be made of platinum which was used when pressing
records, but both types are very rare these days!
disks do not deteriorate over time (but because of wear) and
usually contain a more direct and transparent presentation of the
sound that was heard in the studio, because tapes were often heavily
abused during mastering and mixing.
I never knew whether those platinum disks, awarded to musicians,
were really playable on the turn-table. If they are, it is new
source for the remasterers of old records: bettern than both
deteriorated tape and worn-out vinyl...
The movie "Two sisters from Boston" has a good enactment of the
natural recording process, but somebody has removed it from Youtube.

Quite correct, although it was possible (and done!) to abuse the
recording process long before it got to disk!

The first thing John Jackson did was to ask some friends who owned*daisy-wheel* attached'.
their own computers about what sort of computer to get. The first
person he talked to summarized it by saying:
'You need at least 2Gb of RAM with *twin USB-drives* and
*laser-printer* with associated software'. A second friend said:
'What you need is a *64-bit* machine with *VDU*, *hard-drive* and

language in a sentence, to show the meaning of each.
There, too. But with direct-to-disk recording with no
post-processing and fewer variables and adjustments, the whole
process was simpler and more transparent. The noble art of
microphone and musician placement served intead of polymicrophone techniques with close-miking, and downmixing from 64 channels :-)
It could also be made of platinum which was used when pressing

One of the best recordings I ever heard (and I don't remember any
of the details now)
was a symphony orchestra recorded with a single microphone
hanging centrally from the ceiling. It shouldn't have had any
stereo effect but it certainly did!
Then it is better to use them for pressing a fresh record, and
remaster from that. Some hi-tech non-destuctive techniques exists,
such as a laser-scanning turntabel or some more expensive 3d
scannanning. But the results are no good.
No stereo there, but you don't need stereo to have a feeling of
space. Reverbertaion is much more important and may very well
register on a monophonic recording. The only remotely natural
stereo techniques are those employing two microphones and based on
phase difference (A-B, SASS) rather than loundness difference (X-Y).
Deplorably, very little of modern music is produced in tolerable
stereo.

Why bother with stereo in order to hear 2 or 3 guitars and a drum
kit? :-)

Can't they add those effects later?
I believe that's the same technique that was accomplished from
the original mono recordings by the Beatles.
Has he a SoundCloud account? (pardon my impudence).
If not higher
Or should I have written: "If not a higher one," where `one' stands
for `order'?
My platinum owning friend uses speakers for most of his recording work
(he has his own studio in the basement and does a lot of small group
What is basement and in which basementen, Dallas?
