MUSIC INNOVATIONS!

Long before we were recording music on computers, ipads etc, music was recorded onto magnetic tape. In 1943 Multi-track tape recording was invented (this is when stereo was introduced). Ross Snyder developed the 8-track tape recorder in 1955. (This was at Ampex). So, thats how we first started recording music.

Here's some more innovations:

  • PHONOGRAPH
  • MAGNETIC TAPE
  • ELECTRIC GUITAR- The electric part was created in 1931
  • SYNTHESIZER- The first synthesizer was invented by Elisha Gray, in 1876. However, the first commercially available synth was by Robert Moog , in 1964
  • VOCALS- Microphones really first came about in 1860. The first microphone to transmit a reasonable signal came around 1877.
  • HEADPHONES- Nathaniel Baldwin created these around 1910
  • MIDI

Yes there are a lot more. Over the years we have seen many changes to music inventions. We are creating music innovations now for the future. In 10, 20 years time how will we be recording music? The same way or completely different? Who knows?

 

Until next time

THE SPHERE? MORE MERCHANDISE! BREAKING RECORDS?

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my blog. A new live entertainment venue opened last month called: THE SPHERE in Las Vegas. The first performer in residency is the band U2. THE SPHERE are planning between 4- 6 residencies a year. You may have seen the LED display around the outside (which looks very spectacular). Lets talk about the state-of-the -art sound-system known as 'Sphere Immersive Sound' (powered by 'Holoplot').  This is the worlds most advanced concert-grade audio system. The venue is 160,000 square foot with around 17,500 seats.  The sphere features: 167,000 amplified loudspeaker drivers 1600 Hotpot loudspeaker modules (around the sphere) 3D Beam Forming Sound etc ('Sphere Immersive Sound' I think was first used for the 'Beacon Theatre' on a smaller scale) This could be the future for live concert venues.
