Take Albert Einstein, he figured out the theory of relativity in his head!
As opposed to Issac Newton, who figured out his laws of motion in his knee?
Question about how analog audio recording works
Hello!
My wife and I are high and having a discussion about how sound is recorded on records. I have an, I think, more than average understand of how sound and recording/playback works so I was trying to explain how grooves on the record represent sound waves.
What we don't understand is how polyphony is physically represented. So I can see how a single sine can easily be represented on a record. But when you're talking several sounds at once, some on the same pitch some now, dozens of timbres happening all at once, how do we differentiate those sounds on a physical medium like vinyl, or how do we represent it digitally? Is it literally nothing more than 1s and 0s? That'd be sick
Anyway, I hope this makes sense. Thanks!
