SOUND INVENTIONS

Stomp

Stomp is a type of musical theme, with a fast rhythm,


whose beat is accentuated by tapping the floor with the
foot. It was very popular in traditional jazz and in the
Swing era.

The use in this type of compositions of a prototypical


eight-bar progression made this progression also known
as "stomp progression."

Phonograph

The phonograph was the most common device for


reproducing recorded sounds from the 1870s to the 1880s.
The phonograph was invented by Thomas Alva Edison,
Eldridge R. Johnson and Emile Berliner.

Tape recorder

Wire tape recorder, it was the first tape recorder

All magnetic recording/reproduction equipment is called a


tape recorder or tape recorder , although this
nomenclature has been appropriated by the open coil tape
recorder.
There are three types of tape recorders:
 Open coil tape recorder.
 Cassette recorder (cassette or deck).
 Cartridge tape deck (cartridge).

Portable audio player

A portable audio player is a mobile device that allows


the user to listen to previously recorded sounds. These
players usually use batteries as a power source.
Additionally, they can use different types of storage
media, both analog and digital. The sound is emitted
through speakers or headphones.

Compact disc
The compact disc (popularly known as CD for the acronym in English of Compact
Disc) is an optical disc used to store data in digital format, consisting of any type of
information (audio, images, video, documents and other data).
Standard CDs have a diameter of 12 centimeters, a thickness of 1.2 millimeters
and can store up to 80 minutes of audio or 700 MB of data.

Radio (communication medium)

Radio (understood as radio or broadcasting , terms not


strictly synonymous) 1 is a means of communication that
is based on the sending of audio signals through radio
waves, although the term is also used for other forms of
sending remote audio such as Internet radio.

walkman

The legendary Sony walkman.


The walkman was a portable stereo audio player launched by
the Japanese company Sony in 1979. The first model was the
TPS-L2. Of this model and its subsequent revisions, Sony sold
millions of units, although when it appeared, in 1979, few could
afford (buy) one due to its high price.

Microphone

A microphone works as an electroacoustic transducer or


sensor and converts sound (sound waves) into an electrical
signal to increase its intensity, transmit it and record it.
Microphones have multiple applications in different fields
such as telephony 1 , science, health 2 , sound transmission
in concerts and public events, sound transmission in mass
media such as audiovisual productions (film and television),
radio, live production and professional audio recording,
sound engineering development, voice recognition and VoIP.

Phone

The telephone is a telecommunications device designed to


transmit acoustic signals over a distance by means of electrical
signals. Alexander Graham Bell was long considered the
inventor of the telephone, along with Elisha Gray. However, Bell
was not the inventor of this device, but only the first to patent it. This occurred in
1876. On June 11, 2002, the United States Congress approved resolution 269,
which recognized that the inventor of the telephone had been Antonio Meucci, who
called it teletrophone , and not Bell.

Speaker

A loudspeaker (also known as a loudspeaker in South


America, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras) 1 is an
electroacoustic transducer used for sound reproduction. One or
more speakers can form a baffle. The transduction follows a
double procedure: electrical-mechanical-acoustic. In the first
stage it converts electrical waves into mechanical energy, and in
the second it converts mechanical energy into acoustic
frequency waves.

Sound card

A sound card or sound card is an expansion card


for computers that allows audio output controlled by
a computer program called a driver .

The typical use of sound cards consists of making,


through a program that acts as a mixer, the
multimedia applications of the audio component
sound and be managed.

THE TURNTABLE
In 1925, the record player appeared for the first
time, its operation was based on that of the
gramophone, but with small differences and
improvements. To begin with, it used a small
electric motor that moved the disc, replacing the
crank. In addition, the sound reproduction was
electrical and not electroacoustic as was usual,
which made it possible to select the volume of
the playback and improve both the quality and
wear of the disc. disk.
The phonautograph

It was the first device capable of recording sound


literally speaking, since the sound is recorded in the
form of a line on a support that consisted of a cylinder
with smoke from a lamp, although later it was impossible
to reproduce it, however this device served to see that
recording of sound was possible, it was also used for
experiments in the field of hearing.

Telegraph

But this invention went almost unnoticed, since the


majority of the public was adapted to records.
However, studies on magnetic records based on the
telegraph continued to advance, leading in 1930 to
the appearance of the wire tape recorder, which we
will explain. next week in the last installment on the sound record.

MP3

However, in 1986 something new began to be created


that would completely change the way we consume
music: MP3. Which was used for the first time in 1995 by
Branderburg through a computer. MP3 is here to stay,
offering the possibility of storing large amounts of sounds
in a small space. However, this compression affected the
audio quality.
