The Recording Of Sound Recorded By Edouard Leon Scott De Martinville

Sound is something quite special, impactful, and adds layers of elements and complexity to a film. As with the progression of the movie making medium, sound has grown and changed drastically over the decades. However, sound cues in the form of effects, dialogue, and everything in between, shapes our perceptions of a scene and movie.

Most successful musicians know a hidden art carried out by the work of a good sound engineer; it is essential for a magnificent album. For the rest of us novice listeners and fans, we believe what we hear through our speakers or played over the radio are the true skilled professional musicians, soaring at their craft. Most contemporary music, from pop to R&B and acid jazz to the sophisticated realm of orchestral film scores, has been modernized by several inventions encased within the studio. The art of audio engineering has taken on new forms, from the nuts and bolts, "plug it in, and see if it works" era into the digital world, because of these wonderfully tragic solutions to a

and any other information which is used by the sound CPU when it produces sounds.

The development of the phonograph is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight. The first rudimentary machine was for recording and playing back sounds. The way it all started out was using paper strips to make a record of telegraph messages. By attaching a needle to the back of the diaphragm and mounting it above rollers for the paper strips, then putting sound to the into the mouthpiece causes the diaphragm to move. After, this causes the needle to inscribe squiggled indentations into the strips. Last, the indentations would move the attached diaphragm, which should reproduce the original sound.

The history of music players dates back to November 21, 1877 when Thomas Alva Edison invented a device for recording sounds and then playing it back called the Gramophone. It was patented on February 19, 1878. The Gramophone looked like a cylinder that was smaller at one end and bigger at the other. Even today, at the annual Grammy Awards the awards that are given out are miniature versions of Edison’s invention.

Digital and Analog recording which both were foreign to me, I now have a better understanding of them both now. To help me understand them I use this saying “digital data" which means that a digital recording deals with data and "analog acoustic" and analog deals with recording acoustic recording into an electric sound. The more data on a digital recording the more data you have about the actual sound that was recorded. The digital recordings you can change whatever you want about them because they are dealing with data. Then the acoustic recording seems as if you are transferring the acoustic sound to an electric sound. The understanding that I have of an analog recording is it is the exact replica of what was previously recorded. There is not much you can do to change it.

Over the past weeks I have been adding sounds to a moving image clip. Research of the science behind sound and of professional sound recordist would be key, anything from microphone techniques to personal safety would need to be taken into account on the recording side, whereas an understanding of the software and tools within it would be needed for the sequencing.

In Walter Van Tilburg Clark’s “The Portable Phonograph,” the author makes setting play a major role in understanding the action of the characters within the story. Clark, a writer and an English Professor, lived from 1909 to 1971. During that time, he lived through both World Wars at a relatively young age, which may have influenced this story. Clark has excellent use of setting to make the atmosphere needed and set the proper mood, so this story is credible. To accomplish this, Clark orients the reader to a unique place and time by use of the physical setting and human possessions, and uses symbolism to create a mood that gives the reader insight to how the characters must feel in

Looking at the available information [2] Polyphonic should have seen that the market trend for sales from big box stores over previous decade had been in a sharp decline (Figure 1) and considered targeting a different market segment from the beginning. Polyphonic’s either didn’t see the trend or thought that it wouldn’t affect the release of the new technology. Because of the late discovery the

It is within this framework that I consider important to study the way in which sound is

Thomas Edison was the first to record sound while he was experimenting with his new telegraphing device ("Earliest Recordings Ever Made."). He did this by accidently running an indented tin foil under the telegraph's stylus ("Earliest Recordings Ever Made."). By the end of the year, he had successfully

This does not detract the sources useful information as to the advancements of recording studio technology. Bryce Merrill illustrates the interactions between memory and home studio recordings through presenting ethnographic data in his paper, Music to Remember Me By . Merrill creates an interesting argument, supporting the use of home recording studios and their impact upon musicians in regard to wellbeing. The key elements within this article centre on the use of memory in the studio, new technologies, and the practice of home recording. The emphasis on personal experience and a lack of adequate external evidence, however, is apparent within this article which does compromise the validity of the notions presented. Although, it does serve as a great personal case study as Merrill explains his personal perspective of technological changes. More so, Merrill also manifests the personal impact and the necessity to adapt to technological changes, alluded to within Gibson 's article, which is also mentioned by Pinch and Bijsterveld . Therefore, these sources provide an overall solid basis for further research into the effect of technology upon both home and professional recording studios. The advancements made in digital music technology has allowed the accessibility of information on recording knowledge, that was once privy to those within a professional status. Studio engineers have always depended
