Saphir: Optical Playback of Damaged and Delaminated Analogue Audio Disc Records JEAN-HUGUES CHENOT, LOUIS LABORELLI, JEAN-ÉTIENNE NOIRÉ, Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, France 14 The goal of optical playback of analogue audio discs records has been pursued since at least 1929. Several different approaches have been demonstrated to work. But in most cases the playback quality is worse than using mechanical playback. The Saphir process uses a specifically designed colour illuminator that exploits the reflective properties of the disc material to highlight subtle changes in orientation of the groove walls, even at highest frequencies (20kHz). -

Lasers and the Fate of Phonographic Recordings by MATTHEW SPRINKLE

New compact disc technology uses lasers for quality and precision playback of sound recordings. To what extent can lasers be effectively used on phonographic media? Laboratory work and attempts at mass marketing provide interesting insights for sound archivists. About the author: Matthew D. Sprinkle earned a B.A. in Music (1986), and an M.A. in Music Theory and Composition (1992), from the University of Wyoming. He has worked as a guitarist, keyboardist, composer, soloist, singer, and recording engineer in styles as diverse as classical, rock, atonal, and the blues. He won the 1986 Wyoming Music Teachers Association composition contest, college division, with his "Vistas 1 & 2" for classical guitar. The Owen Wister Review (literary/ arts magazine) has twice published his poetry.

Laser Turntable from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Laser turntable From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A laser turntable (or optical turntable) is a phonograph that plays LPs (and other gramophone records) using laser beams as the pickup – the way a compact disc player plays CDs – instead of using a stylus as in conventional turntables. Contents ELP Laser turntable (LT-2XA) and RME Fireface 800 1 History 1.1 Finial 1.2 ELP 2 IRENE system 3 References 4 External links History William K. Heine presented a paper entitled A Laser Scanning Phonograph Record Player (http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm? elib=3098) to the 57th Audio Engineering Society (AES) convention in May 1977. The paper details a method developed by Heine that employs a single 2.2 mW Helium–neon laser for both tracking a record groove and reproducing the stereo audio of a phonograph in real time. In development since 1972, the working prototype was named the "LASERPHONE" and the methods it used for playback was awarded U.S. Patent 3,992,593 (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?

Digital Audio in the Library Abstract An incomplete draft of a book intended to serve as a guide and reference for librarians who are responsible for implementing digital audio services in their libraries. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1, "Digital Audio Technology," covers the fundamentals of recorded sound and digital audio, including a description of digital audio formats, how digital audio is delivered to the listener, and how digital audio is created. Part 2, "Digital Audio in the Library," covers digitizing local collections, providing streaming audio reserves, and using digital audio to preserve analog recordings.

Secondary Storage
Memory More commonly known as RAM, memory is a location where information is stored that is currently being being utilized by the operating system, software program, hardware device, and/or the user. There are two types of memory, volatile memory and non-volatile memory. Volatile memory is memory that loses its contents when the computer or hardware device loses power. Computer RAM is a good example of a volatile memory. Non-volatile memory, sometimes abbreviated as NVRAM, is memory that keeps its contents even if the power is lost. CMOS is a good example of a non-volatile memory. Below is an example picture of computer memory. It is very common for users to confuse what memory is exactly. For example, a computer hard drive is sometimes thought of as memory. A hard drive is a type of storage but not memory. As mentioned above, memory is more commonly known as RAM. CMOS Picture of CMOS lithium battery on motherboardAlso known as a Real Time Clock (RTC), Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) or CMOS RAM, CMOS is short for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS is an on-board semiconductor chip powered by a CMOS battery inside computers that stores information such as the system time and system settings for your computer. A CMOS is similar to the Apple Macintosh computer's PRAM. To the right is an image of a CMOS battery on a computers motherboard and the most common CMOS battery you're likely to encounter with your computer. To the right is some examples of other types of batteries that may be used in a computers to power the CMOS memory. -

Преглед НЦД 19 (2011), 45–52 Aleks Nushev DIGITALIZATION AND AUDIO MASTERING (RESTORATION) IN INSTITUTE OF ARTSTUDIES – SOFIA Abstract. I present a part of our work at the audio archive. Focused on some mastering conceptions and video references, I will try to give you approach how we do “the process”. In this papper I will explain: I.Presentation of existing vinyl’s in our archive II.A few words about BAARTI project which is the main financial “backbone”. III.Our hardware (Laser Turntable, hardware ELP declicker with 88 kHz high-grade AD converter, Vacuum Cleaner for LP’s, TC Electronics professional ASIO compatible audio interface etc.) IV.The main (last) part is dedicated to the concrete processing applications like Crackle, Hiss and Pops removal, multiband compression, RMS level optimization, pitch correction and similar. The workflow is Samplitude Master Edition supported by Waves Restoration - Mastering plug ins and UAD card with master bundle. The conclusion polemize about the question “Do we need to do all this processing?” or better leave it untouched. Also a few words about audio digital database, data storage, back up and perspective’s.

Retro Media: Memory (And Memories) Lost -- University at Buffalo Libraries
Retro Media: Memory (and Memories) Lost Introduction Audio Media Visual Images/Photography Audio-Visual Computer Data Questions for the Future Preservation and Migration Webliography (Bibliography) Exhibit Acknowledgements Take a Video Tour of the Exhibit Introduction The past 120 years saw some of the most rapid changes in how we record, collect, and use audio, visual, and now digital information. The pace creates in its wake, a long list of obsolete technologies, some of which, still exist, but for which equipment and storage technologies are not always available. This exhibit reflects this light-speed, developing technology world with a selection of media formats. Audio Media Music as a Family Activity I come from a musical family that had both a large 78 rpm and 33 rpm collection. Before headphones were common place and well before portable, individual music players, listening to records was a family activity. We sit down in front on the big console record player (about 6-7 feet long) and listen with an occasional comment. I learned a lot about music just be listening together and discussing what we had just heard.—A.
