Audio Adjustment

Recording arts has come a long way sense Thomas Edison recorded the first voice singing in 1877 using pieces of tinfoil. With current technologies we can professionally record instruments, voices, and anything capable of producing a sound with ease. In order to record sound we need certain pieces of electrical equipment such as microphones, soundboards, equalizers, and an audio editing program to be used by trained professionals known as Audio Engineers. With technology constantly advancing at an impressive rate, how will I contribute to the future of recording arts? Audio engineers are constantly adapting to more advanced recording technology in order to deliver the most satisfying sound for the artist or producer but in the most cost effective way possible. An excellent example of audio engineers advancing in a cost effective way would be the switch from analog recording to digital. With the major switch from analog to digital, the editing process was cut significantly and the price to produce a new album went from an average of two hundred thousand dollars to twenty thousand. Editing went from physically cutting out sections of tape from a reel and splicing them back together, to using a simple computer program to cut …show more content…

There will no doubt be new advances in microphones, equalizers, and updated versions of Editing programs with all sorts of new bells and whistles but, what about recording the old fashionedway? As a future audio engineer I not only will adapt to the new advances of technology in the field of recording arts but I also plan on learning how to work with analog equipment to have the most experience possible with editing and recording. Learning how to record both analog and digital will give me a step ahead of most audio engineers and have a better understanding between the sound of analog and

The alterations of Thomas Edison impacted highly the way Americans live and work. In 1877, he began to attempt to record and playback sound by using a machine later called the tinfoil phonograph. After exploring the telephone, which transmitted sound, he found that the sound “vibrations are indented nicely” and wrapped it up thinking that he could store and replay the human voice at any time thoroughly. On the first week of December in 1877, Edison hired a machinist by the name of John Kruesi to construct the phonograph. Once constructed, he put the tin foil on and turned the handle.

The 1920's should be remembered as a cynical but carefree time of jazz, gin, and socioeconomic prosperity. Modern cultural norms were drastically affected during this period. Numerous technological innovations evolved, and mass production of technology plagued the United States, ultimately benefiting, and negatively affecting economic, social, and political gestures. Whereas the telephone and radio had already been invented, they became of popular use during the early 20th century, both of which were used to positively alter the entertainment industry. Phonograph technology saw rise during this period, which allowed musicians (such as jazz instrumentalists, whose study is primarily based on improvisation techniques) to produce phonograph recordings

By this time the Menlo Park complex, which Edison established a year prior, was a buzzing place full of people who “labored in Edison’s invention factory”(Schiffer 1).Whilst in the clutches of fall Edison began experimenting and building a device that bounced in his head for several months. Earlier in the year, Thomas was contemplating sound reproduction and how to record waves in real-time. He drew numerous diagrams of the proposed recording device in his journal. The Scientific American reported on Edison’s prototype in late-November and by December the world knew. To the people of that time such things seemed otherworldly and the phonograph “directly changed daily life and popular culture”(Simonton 2).
