The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

It's better than the four boys whose A's just got them Flunkie Status this summer - and lab-assistant at any number of summer school-related recording and television activities that moist guys would PAY to get let into the studio and WATCH nevermind WORK. These guys'll pretty much be working for the...

A man after my own heart (just kidding). Every year for the students in my junior college History of Recording Arts and Sciences class I cut out-of-period music onto an Edison cylinder and scramble it in among a bunch of other cylinders to see if the first-semester boys can tell which is the period-...

A lot of this information you couldn't get if you DID Google it. i do it on purpose so the boys in my class who give me their phones at the beginning of the test and have second phones they smuggle in - can't cheat during the time period. OK so I'll give you half-credit for ingenuity because while n...

Come on. Do better than my junior college History of Recording Arts and Sciences boys who have their midterms in place of their lab on Friday. This question is extra credit - along with questions about all kinds of other things we never covered in class. They can choose any 100 questions out of the ...

Or `No one else ----will ever love you'' and skip backwards on ``no one else'---no one else----no one else... (GUNSHOT) and then skip OVER `will ever love you' and go on to `the way I doooo.' Dunno which would have the better effect. We might film all three versions and see what works best on the sc...

And he's not going to be bothered by seeing the disc spinning at half speed? Not if we use one of those specially-made Allied Artists 16-RPM records that got made all the way into the 80's for restaurants and malls who didn't want to go to tape or CD yet. I think you can count the collectors of tho...

I was just curious because in almost every instance I have ever seen a record skipping on a movie or TV show - the revolutions never match on a closeup. If the phrase does not fit in this way, you would have to have the platter spin at a faster or slower speed to make it match the length of the phra...

Guy I know is an amateur filmmaker. The scene he's shooting involves a depressed man who walks into his apartment and the Mama Cass record he started when he left earlier is still playing - and sticking in the groove. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSu_irpykNo No-one else Will ever love you plays ov...

That is all. Now take the record and filmslide out please. In honor of the impatient German guy who seriously overpaid on eBay for a unrestored and in fairly raggedy shape Silvertone/GI 78-RPM disc recorder/playback unit - I offer $50 in PayPal to the first person who can come up with the source fo...

Look on eBay under Frisco-Classic-Stereo.

There is a mix someplace of Paul Mauriat's original 1967 recording of Love Is Blue where the levels of the brass hits around 1 minute in (and repeated throughout the song) are A) elevated compared to the stereo remix on Bloomin' Hits or the original stereo mix on Philips GH of `68 LP - and B) split ...

Because there were never made any two-inch pinhole-size holed recording blanks - or any does or stampers for that matter - upon which to master all these small doll records. Therefore - anything that was too small to be cut onto a 6 inch blank - was cut by the six-eight-or-twelve around a circumfere...

Actually this is the same as the Mattel Alphabet Phone: http://images.worthpoint.com/files/pb/1115/3943/160.jpg and the Mattel Talking Football http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Mattel/Mattel-MondayNightFootball.jpg and they had one for a space rocket and one for a Boing (sic) aircraft... The discs did ...

next time anybody tries a Southern California mini-meetup, they should get ahold of Len Horowitz.

The only two places I ever heard of high speed cutting was for magazines and talking books for the blind which were cut at 33 for 8 playback or 33/66 for 16 playback. The other place I heard of it is when my uncle used to work at Mattel and they'd cut doll records at 133 for 33 playback. Of course t...

Len Horowitz has used an SP-10 in his bedroom since before he went out and got his own studio in Culver City nearly 40 years ago. And the one in the bedroom still works and is still driven by the same Technics turntable.

Although in order to save the LP I HAVE been able to record CD-4 real-time including the carrier wave onto half-inch helical-scan instrumentation tape (Ampex 777) on an old Viking from NASA I inherited - if I disabled the onboard audio-frequency modulation and basically told it that the AFM was comi...

Well that didn't work. Maybe this.

My digital FM demod seems to work very well at 96Khz with the testing I've done. I don't think all of the direct digital radio projects out there would work if what you are saying is the case. I've attached the paper I based my demod on. Fig2 in the paper shows the block diagram I used for my imple...
