New development of digital music composer

With a software named Processing with a suitable 3D printer, users will be able to convert digital music files into recordings on their favorite CDs.

If you are a passionate person who enjoys real sound from coal discs and has a very favorite song but cannot find this recording on coal disc then 3D printing technology helps convert files Digital music into disc prints will be an option for you to create your own favorite recording on a passionate music disc material.

Amanda Ghassaei, a 'digital music composer' , has developed a new technology that can convert many digital music file formats into 3D prints that can be played on coal players.

This technology is based on the principle of "carving" 3D images on the surface of the black vinyl vinyl workpiece, the material of classic charcoal plates. When playing the music version with Processing software, the computer will be connected to a 3D printer, the printer's print needle will run on the disk surface, with a rate of 33.3 rpm or 45 rpm. attached creates three-dimensional grooves, creating grooves printed on the surface of the plate.

These print grooves will correspond to the audio signals that the recorders can capture and play back into the song being 'recorded'.

The 3D printer used in Amanda Ghassaei's research is the Objet Connex 500, with a resolution of 600 dpi.

On this 3D printing technology tutorial page (Instructables page), Amanda Ghassaei described in detail the printing process as well as the path to the necessary files so that users can create their own copy of the record ( provided that a 3D printer is supported).

One drawback of 3D printing technology for coal discs that Amanda Ghassaei experimented with was not high sound quality. For example, New Order's 'Blue Monday' sample record only has a sample frequency of only 11 kHz and a 5-6 bit 'resolution', while the quality on regular CDs is 44.1 kHz / 16- bit.

Amanda Ghassaei's experimental recordings are currently only a minute long, however, the system is capable of recording for six minutes on a 12-inch coal disc.
