The Evolution Of Music Storage

Рет қаралды 140,816

5 жыл бұрын

The field of audio evolved over the last 170 years starting with the human voice first being imprinted on paper covered in soot, on a device known as the phonautograph. It would evolve into the wax cylinder phonograph and eventually the disc-based one, we know today.
Mechanical sound storage would be replaced by electrical-based sound reproduction, via microphones and loudspeakers. The sound could now be transmitted over lines and via radio.
The medium of vinyl records would soon be accompanied by the advent of magnetic tape storage. Magnetic tape storage allowed for sound editing and convent storage. As well as being able to be transferred into other mediums such as optical audio.
Electrical sound storage also brought the concept of signal processing with it. The frequency components of sound could be analyzed and modified to enhance quality, fulfill storage needs, and for artistic effect.
Several common audio signal procession techniques discussed are audio filters, dynamic range compressors and noise reduction.

In the optical microphone, the vibrating diaphragm and the sensor can be separated by great distances. Here are two examples: After WWII, the United States opened a new embassy in Moscow, and the USSR presented our Ambassador with a gift: a hand carved and painted copy of the Great Seal of the United States, to hang on the wall behind the Ambassador’s desk. Hidden in a cavity on the rear of the seal was a metal reed which would reflect microwaves (stretching the definition of “optical” a bit). Across the street behind the Ambassador’s back, the Soviets aimed a focused beam of microwaves at the reed, and detected the changes in frequency (the Doppler shift) of the echo, changing them into an audio readout of the conversations in the Ambassador’s office. Despite suspicions, many thorough bug sweeps failed to detect the spy seal for many years. Incidentally, this device was designed by Leo Theremin, the Russian immigrant who invented the Theremin musical instrument decades earlier in the US, and was forced by Stalin to help him spy on the US after he returned home. Today, a form of spycraft known to all spies is to aim a laser at a window and process the reflections into audio. A similar concept could be used as a remote seismometer to detect moonquakes by aiming at the retro reflectors placed on the moon by Apollo astronauts. Or to detect tsunamis from satellites by reflecting laser beams off the ocean surface.

Most of this stuff is already known to me, but I def learn some stuff with each video I watch. Keep it up man, seriously great stuff!

I never got how an animal can percieve anything lower than maybe 10hz as sound. Playing with electrical oscillators connected to speakers, I've found that once sound gets below this point, I can still "hear" it, but I only hear it as a series of clicks, where each click corresponds to one cycle. Ie 10hz makes the sound of 10 clicks per second. Rather than a continuous tone. Although, I always used square waves, which are full of higher frequency harmonics, so maybe that's what I'm hearing, and the clicking is just these harmonics being modulated at the fundamental frequency. I'd like to try this with a pure sine wave, but I haven't gotten around to buying or making a device that can produce sine wave tones. Short of a mobile phone app, but I have doubts about the quality of such apps. Plus, I'm pretty sure the relatively low quality speakers I use when fiddling with electronics don't have a very good response at 10hz, cuz why would a speaker need to be designed to function at frequencies lower than we can hear?

I saw an Pioneer SA7700 in the vid. Fabulous amp. I have a SA7800, had since 1979 I believe. Such a nice amp .. lost a channel a few times but have always had it repaired. The surround sound amps now (and for past 20 years or so) are just awful. Over complicated, button heavy, spintronic volume knobbed (non pot) ... as in totally useless to me. Nice vids NM .. well done.

@timothystockman7533 9 ай бұрын

Magnetic recording with enough quality to be used for broadcast audio was perfected by the Germans and was not brought to the US until the end of WWII. The late 1940s is when magnetic sound recording really took off when the German technology was further perfected and manufactured by companies such as Ampex. Crown and Magnecord were also early manufacturers of audio tape machines.

While this is very comprehensive and well done, I feel like this video should have a different title. Info about music storage stops after explaining magnetic tape and becomes an explanation of audio signals processing. I didn’t end up learning what I came to this video for.

Quite the in-depth documentary into the history of audio representation. Years ago, I attempted an "audio restoration" of the 1888 recording of Handel's "Israel In Egypt" made at London's Crystal Palace. I believe since I only spent a week on it, I improved it maybe 60%-ish. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Israel_In_Egypt_1888_06_29_Restored.ogg

Some details are not quite right without context. Yes, 140 dB is the absolute maximum dynamic range of human hearing but at 140 dBSPL your eardrums are close to bursting and you are well above the threshold of pain. Also your hearing needs time to adjust and you never get the full range at once. More in the ballpark of 70 to 80 dB at one specific level. Wich so happens is the effective range of CDs. Yes, I know, redbook standard is roughly 96dB of dynamic range on paper but assumes uniform distribution of the PCM samples, which music or speech or basically anything human made never has.
