  1. SOUND RECORDINGBY: Martin mirallesfacs 2930

  2. SOUND • (Sound) waves are made due to vibrating air molecules • These waves enter our ears and our brain translates to us what we hear • Sound can be caused by anything

  3. SOUND RECORDING • The re-creating of sound waves as a physical or digitized form • The processes are modelled after the human ear • The recorded sound vibrates our ears similar to how the original sound did

  4. Analog recordings • Early ways of recording • Changes in air pressure are recorded on a physical medium

  5. cylinder phonograph • One of the earliest sound recording devices • Ability to store music and playback • Invented by thomasedison (1877) • Sound were contained on cylinders, the dominant medium until about 1910 • Helped grow the commercial recording industry • A microphone diaphragm detects changes in sound waves and records them as a scratched lines on the cylinder

  6. Recording Discs • Represented sounds as shaped grooves on the disc, as the needle scratched over it • Discs were easier to make and were louder • Eventually made more sales than cylinders by 1910 • the improved vinyl microgroove records were introduced by 1940’s - less brittle and better performance • How the discs were made: http://www.recording-history.org/HTML/making_records.php

  7. Magnetic tape • Sound recorded as magnetized areas on the tape, proportional to the sound signals • Allowed for sound to be erased and recorded on the same tape • Tape was edited by actually cutting the tape and rejoining it • Allowed the radio industry to pre-record parts of their program, which were all previously live

  8. Digital Recordings • stores audio as digital information (Stream of numbers) • The numbers represent the changes in air pressure • A response to deteriorating physical memory • Allowed for easier sound editing, via computers

  9. Compact discs • Originally for sound storage - now able to store all kinds of data • Small size, inexpensive material, and was rewritable • A laser would read the disc, and would reflect back as electronic data • Led to discs being able to represent visual data: Dvd’s and blu-ray discs

  10. microphones • Its Diaphragm creates an electronic representation of the vibrations caused by sound waves • Present in many aspects of digital recording • Comes in many forms • Video: http://science.discovery.com/videos/deconstructed-how-do-microphones-work.html
