Lol imagine if he just took a blank vinyl, spinned it for a whole hour, and just placed the undertale soundtrack over it Dont take this too seriously its just a joke dont yell at me please
@@MaxiMonkU2B You mean the cracklings? Those might as well be from the blank vinyl record, with the soundtrack overlayed. What's actually very clever about vinyl is the grooves are such a dead give away of what you can hear in the vynil just looking at the plate. Completely silent plate would have nothing but a continuous solid spiral going from the edge into the center of the plate, with no variations in the groove thickness, depth and wibbles whatsorever. But here you can clearly see where the songs are (well, it's a little bit harder since it seems like the plate is somewhat transparent). If nothing else, the refraction of the plate moves as it is spinning (it would remain stationary if the spiral was silent). That means the grooves thickness, depth and wibbles vary. This is true vinyl recording of the real thing. However, those vinyl editions are nowhere near the entire original digital download full album (not a single of them). This vinyl record has only 41 songs on it (probably just compilation of the best ones), the original full digital download album has 101 songs, so vinyl plates cover not even half of the songs. I wish that a truly full album existed in a vinyl edition (with all of the 101 songs available in the digital download). I guess that it would take up as much as 5 plates. Not gonna lie, there were multiplate albums that had more plates actually.
It sounds exactly like in the game, but it's on vinyl, and surprisingly good quality for such an old technology. I need to get a copy! Wait, I can't play it
@@regulus3413 Well, yes and no. Analog can sound superior and bad. Superior is usually a highend and most likely expensive stuff. Analog in studio quality can sound even better than studio quality of digital equipment. Although, the differences are very much minimal. Lowend products do not have such qualities. You may think it sounds good, but in reality it's awful. Have you ever tried to play the same album of an original metal cassette tape and its copy transfered onto an oxide tape? The quality difference is so vast there. As of the vinyl, lowend turntables often can't produce higher frequencies, some even freature tip that require higher pressure to play the plate (which in turn damages the plate more than proper tips). I'd love to have a copy of this thing on vinyl, but I don't think I'd play it on my old Tesla NZC 030 turntable, known for damaging vinyl plates. I'd rather purchase a new turntable (or at least better quality) and Tesla NZC 030 would be only kept for display, what my grandparents and parents used to play music with.
@@regulus3413 It's not actually better in quality. Digital formats are able to replicate the original sound much more precisely. The reason analog formats can sound "better" is because of the minor imperfections they introduce to the original sound. The slight crackle of vinyl records, the harmonic distortion caused by tube driven technology which makes audio sound warmer etc. I think the reason we find analog so pleasant is because music is so very fine tuned and perfected these days and we want to hear imperfections in music because that way it feels more human, as humans we are imperfect. So no, analog isn't better in quality, but it can be more pleasant.

it sounded soooo good when the orchestra played it for the 5th anniversary concert. your best nightmare is one of my least favorite tracks but the orchestra made it sound soo fucking good. loved it.
you know, im still astonished that a vinyl can even accurately portray that kind of NES feel. i know its just waves, but you don't expect to just start hearing NES style music coming out of a record player.
@@uselessshroob Well it's kind of dying right now, at least it's not nearly as big when it came out. People only hear about the game because of sans memes and *cugh * tiktok. I'm afraid it'll be forgotten in just a couple of years. The next generation will never know what are they missing out.
@@demogaming8895 no need to worry. Truly good games are never forgotten. Every game has a hay day though, and you can only play a game once or twice before moving on, and that is okay. I love many titles that I know aren't forgotten. This is one of them. It isn't even the type of gameplay I normally enjoy. But that campy characters are fun, and the music is a big part of what will stick in peoples' memories forever. I love Zelda OOT and MM a lot, those games are long gone, but had a revival on the 3DS and will never stop being loved. Only boring games get truly forgotten. If there is love put into the game like Undertale, it is bound to resonate with people, even if it turns out imperfect, which sometimes passion projects do. The next generation will know of this game one way or another, and if it is through outdated memes, so be it, but one day everyone will see or play the game and understand why it has appeal.
VistaXP2600 not just his battle and megalovania his entire character is charming and mysterious at the same time people would still love sans even if he didn’t have a rock ass song and boss battle to back him up also let’s be honest every main character in that game is loved a lot yes everyone seems to be all over sans but if you look past sans you’ll see there’s a lot of people who love every single character in that game......I also don’t think that undertale is dying out or will die out like ever remember there is also deltarune chapter 2 on the horizon so if everyone remembers that then people will most definitely know the game that made Toby known around the world in the first place
Ok but on Spotify and Apple Music when Heartache transitions to Sans it literally sounds like Sans is the second half of Heartache. Like there’s no pause between the two songs, Heartache just fades into Sans.
Yes, I played the US version on a boombox record player, it played a little slower and I used that build in amp to record the audio. For this video I used a proper Sony DD turntable connected to an Akai amp from 1979 i believe. That's why it sounds different :p It's on a whole different quality scale Oh and the muffled high ends might be because I was still figuring out what the best settings were to record on.
So much nostalgia.. I left because people would tell me “it’s a boring game” “it’s so old” “grow up” I’ve been on the fandom since 2017... and just left it this January . Yeah, I know I could had ignored them, but I’m a sensitive person... so yeah. My Undertale fan page on Instagram is dying now, because I have not posted for months. Every time I visit it, I always imagine the OST “Snowy” playing in the background. It’s sounds empty, so it’s perfect. But this game has changed me a lot and it will always remain in a special place in my heart. I love all the characters and I am so thankful that Toby Fox and Temmie Chang created this game. I’m already shedding some tears listening to “Last Goodbye” ... Sorry for any grammar mistakes , English is not my first language .
My bruh, you should do what you like to do. I'm 34 and I just got this game. Finished my first neutral last week. Took me forever cause I'm always tired from work but can't wait to do True Pacifist next.
Glad you uploaded this. That other guy doesn't know that some records are supposed to be played at different speeds. All of his uploads are slowed down.
Toby made this in FL Studio so putting it on Vinyl doesn't really check out any better when it can be rendered directly lossless formats digitally. The aesthetic remains though.
Aside from the subtle difference in speed, I notice an altered frequency balance - beefed up lows/mid-lows most notably - and also compression, is this coming directly from the vinyl? Or are you playing it through some fancy amp system? I'm curious! Btw the added warmth works _really_ great with this OST, love it :D
dammit... im two years late to this video. if i knew this was a thing and it just came out i would buy it because i recently just finished Undertale all endings and it was something i really regret not getting into earlier. ):
It's basically a strobe light, it lights up the stripes on the edge of the platter so you can see if the speed is accurate. On camera it actually flickers more than in reality.
It's kinda sad how many ppl just came here to listen to Megalovania There are a lot of good tracks in the Undertale Ost, like, rlly a lot And these songs usually have motifs, references to other songs, Megalovania doesn't bcus it's a remix of another song that isn't even from Undertale lol Soyeah
making a digital soundtrack with digital effects for a computer and then transferring it onto vinyl? that's some pretty chaotic neutral energy going on there
eve YES you're totally right, I love vinyl, but uploading a vinyl to RU-vid doesn't really work cuz there's no way to make it sound exactly the same, that's all I'm saying
Compared to the pressing they released before this, they fixed the intro of snowy and to me it just sounds like more care went into the Japanese one (less pops and background noise).
how do vinyls work? how is this one side 1 hr long? i know very little but i was told at some point you can't really have longer than 30 min on one side. ("t)
Vinyl is already plural. This is a 2xLP release, yielding four sides. Anything longer than 23 minutes a side progressively degrades audio quality. You can achieve longer playing times with clever mastering, 30 minutes a side is REALLY pushing it however.
It's probably only me but anyone feels like the bottom of the player seems curved up near the center when not in fullscreen? specially when the progress bar is visible
this seems weird. Like, the big thing about records is to hear music fully analog. But, you're taking a digital soundtrack, making it analog, then uploading it as a digital video.... seems like a lot of unnecessary steps.
@@DanKop2 for 4 channel you need a decoder to seperate the channels, there's quite a few different ways they did it but I think the SQ decoding was most common. The SQ ones can be played back on normal stereo equipment, but then you wont have the 4 channel sepereration.
