I discover a "new" antique record cutter lathe... So, I had never seen EMI as a record cutter manufacturer! What an antique thing with the mechanical rewinding system! that's a beautiful and great video! Also, I had never seen Abey Road Studios and I have always thought that it was a very compact studio... and this video has shown another vision!...

This is a fascinating video and very much appreciated. I have the 78 issued but NEVER saw this video. Thank you for this very special posting. Geo. M. Meiser, IX

Tenía mucho mérito grabar todo de una pieza, de una vez y en una sola toma. Nada de mezclas ni de tratamientos, directos todos los sonidos a la cera y punto. Increíble, hoy día. Los discos 78RPM de las últimas décadas ya no se grababan así, sino con micrófonos y el trabajo de estudio era prácticamente igual que con los primeros microsurcos. Por eso se conservan grabaciones de aquellos tiempos que inicialmente salieron en goma laca con todas sus limitaciones, y se han reeditado después en vinilo y hasta en CD, de magnífica calidad. Todo lo anterior al año 1950 fue en origen para 78RPM.

It would be interesting to apply more modern principles to acoustic recording, like having the resonance of the cutting device be above the human hearing range, and to use a stiff diaphragm that itself would not flex, but instead would be coupled at the edge by a soft device with a very low resonance. This would allow for excellent bass and treble response. Further correction could be had by better horn design.

I understand that Sean Davies had suggested the use of an exponentially contoured recording horn for a better impedance match between diaphragm & singer but this was deemed to be outside the parameters of this exercise.Lord Rayleigh had done work in this area in the 1880s [mathematical computations]but the recording industry did not employ the results of his work until Hanna & Slepian's research efforts brought about the re-entrant horn acoustic gramophones of the late 1920s [Victor/His Masters Voice].Diaphragms of different thicknesses & edge compliance ajustments were fairly standard during the acoustic recording era I believe.

@mmilovan I think, the real master to do the after pressing was an acetate disk but in the video recording they show one wax cutting disk also. The record in the box with this vhs vido is a standard 78rpm vinyl record.

The waxes cut during these sessions were stored for longer than was desirable for processing into metals.14 inch mastering lacquers were cut on this acoustic lathe & the recorded quality on playback was remarkably good.I learnt this from Sean himself.

@yopascualin Muy bueno. Te mando un abrazo.

Is it, in fact, making of acetate disc recordings, or I'm missing something here? It is clearly shown acetate/nitrate/lacquer disc, as recording media, not wax discs. These are shown earlier in the clip.

@edwardnowill4408 Ай бұрын

both media were used.

@tubellarbells Hey, que tal, como estas? Lo que ves en el video es el contenido de la cinta vhs que viene en un pack, junto con un disco de vinilo a 78rpm (copia del que se graba en el video) y un cd con el mismo contenido del disco. Como puedes ver es un pequeño documental recreando una sesión de grabación de aquella epoca. Me pareció curioso. Un saludo.

Muy buen aporte !..pero no sé si es un documental y/o recreación o ambas ?. Rescataron los equipos originales no ? No habia oido hablar de esto. Muy interesante para mis clases de sonido. Y algún dia tengo que aprender más sobre discos acusticos y electricos. Todo esto me fascina. Siempre soé con trabajr cortando matrices, de veras ! Saludos.
