Must See TV Tonight!

[aliengroover]

There's a program on The History Channel tonight called "Save Our Sounds". The program documents an effort to save and archive old and important sound recordings that run the risk of being lost to future generations. A list of great musicians will be on the show. Gotta watch it tonight at 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Peace

Saw some of this show tonight. Very interesting to see Steinberg stuff used by the Smithsonian. Actually learned a lot about restoration techniques. Distilled water is a restoration freak's best friend. Did you catch the guy who restores old wax cylinders? They say he's one of only a handfull of guys who knows how to re-assemble the things, but he won't share any of his secrets with anyone! Talk about job security! It was also interesting to see that in archiving, no eq'ing or tweaking of any kind goes into the proccess to make the master. They want it to sound exactly like it did back in the day.

I heard about this on NPR on Monday. It brings up an interesting question: what's the best way to store audio in the long run? Nobody really knows at this point. The Smithsonian is taking multiple approaches by recording everything to CD's, reel to reel tape, and to WAV files. - I don't know how they plan to archive the WAV files, but if it's on CD-ROM's, that essentially narrows the effective media down to two. - Someone needs to invent a true archival audio format. And then, of course, we'll have to spend a few hundred years TESTING it. ;)

I love that show Mail Call. That is an aweseom show,you gotta watch it. I particulary like it because our family business is selling military reproduction uniforms from WW2.

That was a great show- thanks for mentioning it, aliengroover. They could have made it a 2-hour show . :) More music examples and a few more "I wonder what this is?" discoveries. Add more drama they can throw in more tech & history. I was seriously surprised that there were no Hitler recordings- he seems to make it into every hour on the History Channel.
