  • Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16
    Canadian Beatles Albums Identification Guide Updated: 22 De 16 Type 1 Rainbow Label Capitol Capitol Records of Canada contracted Beatlemania long before their larger and better-known counterpart to the south. Canadian Capitol's superior decision-making brought Beatles records to Canada in early 1963. After experimenting with the release of a few singles, Capitol was eager to release the Beatles' second British album in Canada. Sources differ as to the release date of the LP, but surely by December 2, 1963, Canada's version of With the Beatles became the first North American Beatles album. Capitol-USA and Capitol-Canada were negotiating the consolidation of their releases, but the US release of The Beatles' Second Album had a title and contained songs that were inappropriate for Canadian release. After a third unique Canadian album, album and single releases were unified. From Something New on, releases in the two countries were nearly identical, although Capitol-Canada continued to issue albums in mono only. At the time when Beatlemania With the Beatles came out, most Canadian pop albums were released in the "6000 Series." The label style in 1963 was a rainbow label, similar to the label used in the United States but with print around the rim of the label that read, "Mfd. in Canada by Capitol Records of Canada, Ltd. Registered User. Copyrighted." Those albums which were originally issued on this label style are: Title Catalog Number Beatlemania With the Beatles T-6051 (mono) Twist and Shout T-6054 (mono) Long Tall Sally T-6063 (mono) Something New T-2108 (mono) Beatles' Story TBO-2222 (mono) Beatles '65 T-2228 (mono) Beatles '65 ST-2228 (stereo) Beatles VI (mono) T-2358 Beatles VI (stereo) ST-2358 NOTE: In 1965, shortly before the release of Beatles VI, Capitol-Canada began to release albums in both mono and stereo.

  • Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments
    Brief History of Electronic and Computer Musical Instruments Roman Kogan April 15th, 2008 1 Theremin: the birth of electronic music It is impossible to speak of electronic music and not speak of Theremin (remember that high-pitch melody sound sound in Good Vibrations ?) Theremin was the instrument that has started it all. Invented remarkably early - around 1917 - in Russia by Leon Termen (or Theremin, spelling varies) it was the first practical (and portable) electronic music instrument, and also the one that brought the electronic sound to the masses (see [27]). It was preceded by Thelarmonium, a multi-ton monstrocity that never really get a lot of attention (although technically very innovative, see [25]), and some other instruments that fell into obscurity. On the other hand, Leon Theremin got popular well beyond the Soviet Union (where even Lenin got to play his instrument once!). He became a star in the US and taught a generation of Theremin players, Clara Rockmore being the most famous one. In fact, RCA even manufactured Theremins under Leon's design in 1929 ( [27])!. So what was this instrument ? It was a box with two antennas that produced continuous, high-pitch sounds. The performer would approach the instrument and wave hands around the antennas to play it. The distance to the right (vertical) antenna would change the pitch, while the distance to the left (horizontal) antenna would change the volume of the sound (see [2], [3] for more technical details). The Theremin is difficult to play, since, like on violin, the notes and the volume are not quantized (the change in pitch is continuous).

    Owner’s Manual For the following languages, a PDF version of the Owner’s Manual can be found on the CD-ROM. Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, Português, Nederlands What is MIDI? MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information between electronic musical instruments and computers. For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning “the ‘C’ key on the MIDI keyboard was pressed” passes through the A-49 and is received by the computer’s software sound module, and then the software sound module plays the note “C.” MIDI signal Information meaning “the ‘C’ key was pressed” “C” is played Software sound module “C” key is pressed In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example “the ‘C’ key was pressed with a certain amount of force,” “the instrument was changed to a violin sound,” “the volume was raised/lowered,” “the pitch was raised/lowered,” etc. In other words, MIDI is the “language of musical instruments.” MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a software sound module, is required to produce sound. All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI. MEMO DAW software is a term that refers to music production software. Note Do not connect the A-49 to the computer until the driver has been installed (p. 13). Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:”USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 4). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.

However, the popularity of a brand, as well as the cost of its gear does not always equate to quality hardware. The microphone preamplifier is a perfect example of this disparity between price tags and brand names and performance of the equipment. The goal of this paper is to make one second guess the intrinsic idea that things that cost more and have a solid brand reputation actually sound better.

  • PRE-73 Jr Manual
    PRE-73 Jr Vintage Style Pre Amplifier INTRODUCTION Congratulations on choosing the Golden Age Project PRE-73 Jr microphone preamplifier! The PRE-73 Jr is a one-channel vintage style microphone- and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The in- and output is transformer bal- anced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio compo- nents were built before integrated circuits became available. Integrated circuits are small and cheap and widely used in most modern designs. It is clear though that audio components built with modern technology doesn´t always provide the best perceived sound quality or the type of character that the modern user desires. On the contrary, the subjective sound quality delivered by vintage equipment is often prefered over the one delivered by modern units, a situation that is even more obvious now when music is recorded with clean- sounding digital audio equipment. This is the reason why so many vintage audio components are cloned and produced again and also why the vintage originals are often very expensive on the second hand market. The circuit used in the PRE-73 Jr is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corre- sponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone.
