Phonograph cylinder

After reading the chapter and the PowerPoint presentation, I would say that there was one man who was an extraordinary talent. He have created for us the electricity, light bulbs, and etc., and his name is Thomas Alva Edison and he saw a future and Edison left a remarkable impact on the American society and worldwide, he changed a lot of inventing this technology we have been for years now. Also, he was the first Americans to invent something which wasn’t done before. There are many things which…

The process of ‘beat juggling’ uses the breaks between two records that are exactly the same. DJ Q-Bert, who never stopped learning new styles from his mentors, as well as on his own, mainly founded this process. The two records themselves are exactly the same. To put it another way, if DJ Q-Bert were using Record Sample A on one side, the left, of the turntable, he would also place Record Sample A on the other side, the right, of the turntable. In a moment, the DJs uses the fader, which is…

For recording assignments of Sound Recording Techniques 1, we as a group endeavoured to record a cover of ‘Treasure’ by Bruno Mars. The song itself was written and produced by Bruno Mars, Ari Levine and Philip Lawrence who labelled themselves as ‘The Smeezingtons’. The original song is usually associated with the genres of Disco, Pop, Funk and Soul. The Smeezingtons claim that the song was inspired by ‘Baby I’m Yours’ by Breakbot, who is a french producer and DJ who claimed that Treasure was a…

Thomas Alva Edison was the most prolific inventor in American history. As a 19th century pioneer, he introduced America to innovation or invention, research, development and commercialization. His largest contributions to cinema include the phonograph, light bulb, kinetoscope, the first motion picture and the first film production studio. The inventor was born to Sam and Nancy on February 11th, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. As a child, Edison was a poor student and teachers saw little potential in him.…

from the phonograph with moving pictures in hopes of boosting the sales of the phonograph. After conducting some experiments, Edison was able to introduce the kinetoscope, a device for viewing moving pictures. In 1877, Edward Muybridge successfully photographed a horse in fast motion using a series of 24 cameras. However, these were all a series of still photos that were viewed in a sequence and Edison wanted something better to represent motion. Edison used the principle of a metal cylinder and…

According to Science Buddies Staffs, “Take a Musical Step Back in Time: Make Your Own Phonograph From Everyday Items,” in the year 1877, Thomas Edison successfully built the phonograph. The phonograph, back then consisted of turning a cylinder wrapped with paraffin paper or tinfoil, a needle, and horn. The use of a phonograph was to first connect the stylus(needle) to the paper or tinfoil, then yell into the horn while spinning the diaphragm, this results in indentions in the paper, after that…

1877, Edison invented the phonograph. Previously, inventors have patented devices that allows you to record sound but Edison’s phonograph allowed you to do more than just record sounds, you could play them back. Using a tinfoil-coated cylinders with two needles attached to it, one to record sound and one to play back sounds, Edison recorded “Mary had a little lamb”. When he spoke into the mouthpiece, the sound vibrations of his voice would be indented onto the cylinder by the recording needle…

sound called the phonograph. While he was working on improvements to the telegraph and the telephone he figured out a way to record sound on tinfoil coated cylinders. He created a machine with two needles, one for recording and one for playback. When Thomas Alva Edison spoke into the mouthpiece, the sound vibrations of his voice would be indented onto the cylinder by the recording needle. “Mary had a little lamb” were the first words that Thomas Alva Edison recorded on the phonograph. It took…

Well, let me start off by saying that both Tesla and Edison had many inventions that changed the world in a way. They both to me in my opinion were the utmost ingenious people to put forth ideas that no one else would of thought before. If it weren't for them both we won't be holding some of the stuff that we have today, like our phones and instead of electricity something else like candle power. I would love to be an apprentice on their side for either Edison or Tesla because it would have been…
