  Connected Life 40 - History of Recorded Audio

  feeds.feedburner.com The first practical sound recording and reproduction device was Thomas Edison's mechanical phonograph cylinder, invented in 1877. Later that year, Emile Berliner's gramophone used a lateral, side-to-side recording method that allowed copying of the 'master' disc. The first electronic signal amplifier was invented by Lee De Forest in 1906 and Edwin Armstrong patented a regenerative circuit in 1912, making radio reception practical. By 1925, they'd become recording industry standards and the electronic recording era had arrived. Reel-to-reel tapes and the long-playing record brought us into the magnetic era, which lasted from (1948-80). Philip's had introduced a portable audio cassette player in 1963, and by the early 1980s, Sony's popular 'Walkman' finally ended the reign of vinyl records. Philips and Sony actually joined forces and introduced the Compact Disc in 1982. Later, the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allowed electronic musical instruments to become even more integrated with sound recordings. From 1989 until today, the continual development and refinement of the MP3 format has enabled the easy transfer and manipulation of high quality digital music files. In 2001, Apple introduced an 'iPod' MP3 player that held nearly 5000 songs – and the rest as they say is history…

  AES Tutorial: Binaural Audio Technology—History, Current Practice, Emerging Trends by Bob Schulein

  This tutorial covers the underlying principles germane to binaural perception, simulation, recording, and reproduction. It includes demonstrations as well as recorded audio/visual examples. During the winter and spring of 1931-32, Bell Telephone Laboratories, in cooperation with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, undertook a series of tests of musical reproduction using the most advanced apparatus obtainable at that time. The objectives were to determine how closely an acoustic facsimile of an orchestra could be approached using both stereo loudspeakers and binaural reproduction. Detailed documents from the Bell Telephone archives serve as a basis for describing the results and problems revealed while creating the binaural demonstrations. Since these historic events, interest in binaural recording and reproduction has grown in areas such as sound field recording, acoustic research, sound field simulation, audio for electronic games, music listening, and artificial reality. Each of theses technologies has its own technical concerns involving transducers, environmental simulation, human perception, position sensing, and signal processing. Presented by Robert Schulein.
