    in the early days of recording to the complexity of the process, a lot of new artists auditioning were giving one shot to get their song right, if they failed they got shown the door. It makes you really appreciate the anxiety they must have felt with that in mind in addition to being surrounded by complex and finicky machines as well as producers and executives.

    This song, Daisy Bell, Edison Record 1058 was sung for my company in 1894, by Edward M Favor, of E.E. Rice's 1492 Company. Mr. Favor started his recording career with my company in 1889, and was the first professional recording artist, He still made records into the 1910's. Mr. Favor had a powerful voice, and great annunciation, he would cup his hands by his ears, and talk into the horn, and place his head at the right spot, to make a great recording, he would over emphasize hissing consonants so they would be audible in playback.

    What really resonated with me about this video is the amount of respect and pride the cylinder recording engineer has about his craft. Dressing in a suit to not only display the equipment but set everything up and operate it and demonstrate its capabilities speaks volumes about the respect for the early days of sound engineering and the legend himself Mr. Edison who used this. I took a class about the early days of sound recording and learned about the early cylinder recording days, so to read the engineer's comments below with more detail about it was really fascinating as well.

    As stated before, Tesla did not even come to America until 1883, Edison had installed Pearl Street, the First electric light power plant, and lighted New York City on September, 4th 1882. Tesla's AC power station was finished on April 16th, 1895, 13 years after Edison. Other people tried to make light bulbs, but they only would work for a few minutes and burn out. Arc lighting was an earlier form of lighting but only good for outside, it would blind you in a building. Tesla's work was stolen by the U.S. Government, who stole all his papers when he died. Including remote controlled boats, free energy receivers that gleaned energy from the earth, and laser technology. Other technology included steam turbines no bigger than a hat that would produce 100HP. He made a vibrating device that you attached to a beam in a building and it would destroy it, in not too long of a time. Tesla held 300 patents and Thomas Edison 1,093. I hold both inventors in high regard. I studied both since I was about 6.

  • @koshersalaami
    @koshersalaami4 жыл бұрын

    Got any cardioid horns? For laymen out there, I’ll explain what sound really is in a bit more detail. Almost everything you hear is really fast fluctuations of air pressure. That’s what moves your eardrum in and out. If the pressure changes - one change means going through both high and low pressure - happen between about twenty and twenty thousand times per second and the changes are great enough, you can hear it if you haven’t experienced any loss yet. With losses, you normally lose the ability to hear the fastest changes. The pattern of the changes determines the timbre, or what the sound sounds like. What any recording technology does is record a pattern as similar as possible to the pattern of the changes in air pressure. In this case the pressure changes move a device that carves wax. Playback means finding a way to translate those stored patterns back into air pressure changes. That’s what a modern loudspeaker or headphone does. What makes this early medium difficult is five factors: 1. The background noise drowns out too much sound. Actually, the same thing used to happen with tape hiss, though to a lesser extent. 2. If the sound is too soft, the carving device won’t be moved detectably by the air pressure changes, so it won’t record soft sounds. 3. If the sound is too loud, the pressure change may try to move the carving device farther than it can physically move, so it won’t record loud sounds. In any equipment, again especially including magnetic tape, if you’re loud enough to exceed the capacity of the medium to record, you get distortion. If you want to research this further, this form of distortion is called “clipping.” 4. The carving device can’t move fast enough to produce really high pitches, and those pitches (in this case also called frequencies) make the sound sound more natural and speech/singing more intelligible. This is also a problem in playback. 5. The carving device can’t move far enough to record low pitches which involve big pressure swings, just fewer of them per second. This is also a problem with playback because in order to produce bass you need to move a lot of air, which means the playback system needs more size than you see with wax.

    Depending on what you mean by raw, vinyl is the closest to a natural raw sound wave, the only format I know of that very accurately reproduces it, on a level most audio equipment can't reveal. But I know what you mean, they're both raw in a similar sense. electronics.howstuffworks.com/question487.htm Also vinyl captures an extremely wide range of frequencies, people don't realize that frequencies you don't hear, will still affect the ones you do hear, so their presence or lack of it might be noticed by some. IRL you're possibly picking up subtle ways in which sound you're hearing, is being affected by sounds you're not hearing. Blu-ray audio is close though and also covers a wide frequency range, 24-bit with 96khz sampling rate is up to around 48khz, or 196khz sampling rate up to 98khz. But vinyl is into the hundreds of thousands, doesn't really matter since no equipment can actually cover all that, not even electrostatic. Even if not though, people also don't realize if headphones for example can do a range of 10hz-20khz, it means it can just barely do 20khz, where ones that can do 38khz will do 20khz much better. You'll likely hear more detail and clarity in the midrange too, it's a good measure of overall performance.

    The monologue at the end somehow turns Rob Scallon into James Cagney. _"So we're gonna try this metal band, see ? And if your old lady don't like it she can just go and siddown, see? "_

    I have a huge appreciation for vintage technology that works good enough and proceeds something that didn't work good enough. 90% of the effort that goes into innovation these days is solely for mass production, 9% into cost cutting for the company, and 1% into actually making a product better. Actually most companies go out of their way to avoid making things better because that can throw a wrench into their mass production and cost cutting schemes.
