it might not be particularly pleasant but at least it doesn't sound like the sterile overproduced pablum that is today's modern metal now of course that's just some eq and distortion thrown onto an existing track if you want to hear how metal would sound recorded on a phonograph i definitely recommend checking out rob scallon's video where he tracked his old band through one seriously amazing stuff all right everybody just going to break in here for a second and give a shout out to the sponsors of today's video lewitt audio now i absolutely love luit microphones they are amazing value for the money and i use them all over my studio the drum mic package lives on my drums and i especially love the dtp NUMBER_TOKEN tom mics they're about NUMBER_TOKEN bucks come with their own clips and are a great choice as the sound rivals the competition for about a quarter of the price but recently i found a new favorite in the lct NUMBER_TOKEN air matched pair they're small diaphragm condensers with a couple of great features there's a high pass filter a NUMBER_TOKEN db pad and an awesome air setting that gives your sources some of that much needed presence and brilliance and the best part you can get a stereo matched pair of these for only NUMBER_TOKEN bucks so if you're looking to record some stereo sources like drum overheads or acoustic guitar and get great results and not drain your bank account then take a serious look at the luit lct NUMBER_TOKEN air matched pair follow the link in the description below now back to the show now as i mentioned the volume coming out of these units was pretty low because of this musicians that were recording on them favored louder instruments particularly brass instruments like the trumpet the trombone and the tuba for the lower registers musicians would also have to be positioned strategically around the horn to create a good balance of all the sounds and then play as loud as they possibly could now this is miles apart from how we do things today the technological limitations of the time force people to adapt and push them outside their comfort zone oh if only some of today's broadbands would try that however the phonogram was not without competition around the time it came into the public eye alexander graham bell's volatile laboratories started developing the graphophone in an attempt to improve on edison's design alexander graham bell was also the guy who patented the first microphone in NUMBER_TOKEN. unlike the phonograph the graphophone's needle moved from side to side in a zigzag pattern across a wax coated cardboard cylinder this was done because edison's original tin foil recording was very impractical and hard to work with even when used properly the reproduction of sound was way too distorted and couldn't be played back more than a few times without it being completely ruined in fact it wasn't until the late NUMBER_TOKENs when edison finished work on new york's electric light and power system that as phonograms started using hollow wax cylinders now brace yourself for this one because it is freaking hilarious this next clip was accidentally recorded in NUMBER_TOKEN during the development of the graphophone one of the techs at volta labs was testing it out and during the process there was a technical failure fortunately for us we
