This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Magnetic Recording of Acoustic Data on Audiofrequency Tape Also recently available is a low - noise, low-print tape, which has the same nominal characteristics as low-noise tape, except for five db less print-through. This is an excellent tape for speech, where there may be silent portions where print-through is particularly obvious. This would also be our tape of choice where long-term storage is contemplated. With a two-channel tape recorder in good adjustment, a signal-to noise ratio of 60 db, with an input signal level of +6 vu, should be available with low-noise tapes. On a single-channel full - width record ing, the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio should be 65 db. It should however, be pointed out that these figures are for the ratio between a particular level of a single frequency recorded on the tape, and the noise in a quiet, unrecorded portion of the tape. Actually, accompanying each signal recorded on the tape there is another noise that is difficult to evaluate, called the modulation noise This noise is a fixed per centage of the signal level, usually approaching one percent of the sig nal amplitude about 40 db below the signal level). This noise is well above the level of the residual noise on a tape that has been passed through the recording process with no signal applied.

Book excerpt: The report discusses the application of magnetic tape recording to storage and analysis of data obtained in the course of acoustic measurements.In general, the most suitable machines are those designed primarily for recording studios.Advantages in signal-to-noise ratios and extended linear range can be realized by careful choice of recording medium, adjustment of the equipment to optimum performance, and proper care in monitoring the recording process.General instructions for realizing these advantages are given.Particular emphasis is given to the procedures for making well-calibrated recordings in the field, for analysis of noise problems.(Author).

Book excerpt: Electrical Engineering/History of Technology Magnetic Recording The First 100 Years The first magnetic recording device was demonstrated and patented by the Danish inventor Valdemar Poulsen in 1898. Poulsen made a magnetic recording of his voice on a length of piano wire. Magnetic Recording traces the development of the watershed products and the technical breakthroughs in magnetic recording that took place during the century from Poulsen’s experiment to today’s ubiquitous audio, video, and data recording technologies, including tape recorders, video cassette recorders, and computer hard drives. An international author team brings a unique perspective, drawn from professional experience, to the history of magnetic recording applications. Their key insights shed light on how magnetic recording triumphed over all competing technologies and revolutionized the music, radio, television, and computer industries. They also show how these developments offer opportunities for future applications. Magnetic Recording features 116 illustrations, including 92 photographs of historic magnetic recording machines and their inventors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades performers, instrumentalists, composers, technicians and sound engineers continue to manipulate sound material. They are trying with more or less success to create, to innovate, improve, enhance, restore or modify the musical message. The sound of distorted guitar of Jimi Hendrix, Pierre Henry’s concrete music, Pink Flyod’s rock psychedelic, Kraftwerk ‘s electronic music, Daft Punk and rap T-Pain, have let emerge many effects: reverb, compression, distortion, auto-tune, filter, chorus, phasing, etc. The aim of this book is to introduce and explain these effects and sound treatments by addressing their theoretical and practical aspects.

Download or read book Appetite for Self Destruction written by Steve Knopper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Appetite for Self-Destruction recounts the epic story of the precipitous rise and fall of the recording industry over the past three decades, when the incredible success of the CD turned the music business into one of the most glamorous, high-profile industries in the world -- and the advent of file sharing brought it to its knees. In a comprehensive, fast-paced account full of larger-than-life personalities, Rolling Stone contributing editor Steve Knopper shows that, after the incredible wealth and excess of the '80s and '90s, Sony, Warner, and the other big players brought about their own downfall through years of denial and bad decisions in the face of dramatic advances in technology. Big Music has been asleep at the wheel ever since Napster revolutionized the way music was distributed in the 1990s. Now, because powerful people like Doug Morris and Tommy Mottola failed to recognize the incredible potential of file-sharing technology, the labels are in danger of becoming completely obsolete. Knopper, who has been writing about the industry for more than ten years, has unparalleled access to those intimately involved in the music world's highs and lows. Based on interviews with more than two hundred music industry sources -- from Warner Music chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. to renegade Napster creator Shawn Fanning -- Knopper is the first to offer such a detailed and sweeping contemporary history of the industry's wild ride through the past three decades. From the birth of the compact disc, through the explosion of CD sales in the '80s and '90s, the emergence of Napster, and the secret talks that led to iTunes, to the current collapse of the industry as CD sales plummet, Knopper takes us inside the boardrooms, recording studios, private estates, garage computer labs, company jets, corporate infighting, and secret deals of the big names and behind-the-scenes players who made it all happen. With unforgettable portraits of the music world's mighty and formerly mighty; detailed accounts of both brilliant and stupid ideas brought to fruition or left on the cutting-room floor; the dish on backroom schemes, negotiations, and brawls; and several previously unreported stories, Appetite for Self-Destruction is a riveting, informative, and highly entertaining read. It offers a broad perspective on the current state of Big Music, how it got into these dire straits, and where it's going from here -- and a cautionary tale for the digital age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to make life a little easier by providing all the theoretical background necessary to understand sound reproduction, backed up with practical examples. Specialist terms - both musical and physical - are defined as they occur and plain English is used throughout. Analog and digital audio are considered as alternatives, and the advantages of both are stressed. Audio is only as good as the transducers employed, and consequently microphone and loudspeaker technology also feature heavily - making this the most comprehensive, up-to-date text currently available on all aspects of sound reproduction.
