Creating a Record
Phonograph- Thomas Edison was the first person to conceive the idea of recording and reproducing sound between May and July 1877, this was a byproduct to "playback" recorded telegraph and automated speech sounds for transmission by telephone. He announced his invention of the Phonograph on 21'st November 1877, and he demonstrated it on the 29'th November. This was a good and very popular way of recording sound, introduced in the 1870's. It was popular well into the 20'th Century, and especially throughout the 30's, 40's and 50's.
They were still popular through the early and mid 80's, even when the Compact Disc (CD) was introduced in 1982. However by the late 80's into the early 90's, the CD was beginning to take off and the Internet was having it's foundations, the phonograph or record player was slowly decreasing in popularity, however there are still some people that have them and buy them in today's society.
Home Phonograph- More or less the same as a Phonograph, except that it is kept at home.
Gramophone- The Gramophone had it's origins in 1857, created by a Frenchman Edouard Leon Scott. Scott's invention came before Edison's, the only difference being that Scott's couldn't play back human recordings where Edison's could. However Scott's was able to play back after a while.
You can hear some recordings here. This is the first ever known recordings of human voice dating back to 1860. http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/scott.php
Shellac Record Player- The Shellac Record Player had it's foundations in about the 1920's. The Shellac records are very easily damaged and must be handled very carefully. Breakages were very easily managed in the "Shellac Era". The pieces will remain loose but can stay connected together by the label, however there is a loud "pop" whenever this happens.
Modern Record Player- The Record Player has changed significantly over the years, a modern day record player, can play records and Cd's, a 2000's Dj has one of these. It is very high tech and a good piece of technology.
Open Reel Tape Recorder- The open Reel Tape Recorder was launched in the 1930's, however the name for it didn't arise until the early 1960's. Throughout the 40's, 50's and 60's, it was quite popular, and were used for storing data on mainframe computers and video tape machines .
Multitrack Recorder- Multitrack recording is used to record several different pieces of Music. This is popularly used when Bands record Music. For instance, the Guitar part, then the Drumming, then the singing etc.
Audio Cassette- The Audio Cassette was introduced in late 1992, but it was discontinued in October 1996 after the creators Philips and Matsushita admitted that it had sold quite poorly and it was losing to the Minidisc.
Digital Audio Tape- The Digital Audio Tape (DAT) was developed by Sony and introduced in 1987. When looking at it, it is similar in appearance to a Compact Audio Cassette. It uses 4mm magnetic tape enclosed in a protective shell but it is about half the size. A Compact Audio Cassette can be recorded on both sides where the DAT cannot.
Compact Disc- The Compact Disc was introduced in October 1982, however it wasn't until 1988 that the CD really became popular. By this time (1988), the Records and Vinyl's were losing popularity, and by 1991 the CD was at such popularity that Vinyl's basically went into existence although they were still available.
MP3- The predecessor of the Digital audio player (MP3) was the portable CD player. The world's first mass produced hardware was released in 1997. A second portable MP3 digital audio player known as the Rio PMP300 was released in Mid September 1998. In October 2001, Apple introduced the first generation IPod, and in July 2002 the second generation update to the IPod was released.
