Very nice indeed. Sounds so authentic. I like to observe certain things in videos, and what I liked watching was that the stylus on the cylinder machine was so rock steady and there was no bouncing around from the cylinder being out of round that it also helped in giving with solid reproduction with no wow and flutter

Gennet records in 1923, did not use cylinders for recording. Worthwhile experiment, and I'd like to hear more. Descriptions of the original recording sessions mention that Oliver and Armstrong were placed far, far away from the horn, with Dodds far to close.

Very interesting. Thank-you. One trick which acoustic recording engineers used for better quality was to make sure that the studio was good and warm, to soften the wax on the recording machines. Temperature makes an huge difference to sound fidelity and distortion. Another trick was for performers to move closer to, and further away from, the recording horn, depending upon which frequencies were being produced at the time. Careful positioning of the different instruments around the horn was also important. Some instruments were replaced with specially adapted recording instruments, such as the Stroh violin. Bass notes were usually performed by brass instruments instead of stringed ones. It was difficult for most people to notice the substitutions on the final recording. And the recording horn would be 5 feet or more in length! A bit different to modern microphones.

A really worth well experiment. What this proves to me is that jazz timing remains as illusive as ever. Your classically trained players were great players but had no hope of capturing the massive syncopated swing that the Oliver band demonstrated.

Is this the recording or the playback of the cylinder that we hear? How can you transfer a modern digital recording to a mechanical cylinder?
@MrXnews29 ай бұрын
A few ways - for an "acoustic" sound, you can play the music over a loudspeaker into the recording horn [depending on how much of a live sound you want versus loud, you can play the speaker loudly/several feet from the horn, or play it at medium volume against the horn]. For an "electric" sound, the speaker driver directly operates the recording stylus, instead of the acoustic horn & diaphragm limiting the overall fidelity.
@MrXnews29 ай бұрын
This looks a little like the Canaphonic pickup, basically a microphone tube connecting to the horn socket of the reproducer. I wonder if it's a dynamic microphone, which means it could be used as a speaker to make cylinder recordings [just attach it to the recorder instead]. That would basically be the "acoustic" sound since there's an air gap and the Edison diaphragm is still involved. If it were "electric" truly, the cylinder grooves directly move the stylus of a pickup [playback] or are recorded directly by an electronic driver.

Yes and No. Many of the recreations lack the spirit and soul of the original players. Yes the new musicians are playing "original" arrangements but they don't have the verve and excitement of the originals. And Gennett, with the technology of the time, really couldn't capture a live performance, in front of a live audience in a big outdoor lakeside pavilion, fraternity dance or post football game celebration. Then was then, and Now is now.

This is great. I’m wondering if you should’ve recorded it first acoustically and then if you wanted transfer to a electrical recording. Of course when these songs were recorded it was all acoustic since electrical recordings didn’t start until around 1927.Even then, only one microphone was used.

It’s really sad that rather than trying to accept that you’ve chosen to say it was a waste of time. Imagine if I’d read that at that age. I’d have given up, and then that’s one less person trying to keep the music alive. Also, did you even know who King Oliver was when you were 16? Could you play even just ONE of these instruments? Could you make an acoustic recording? If you can answer yes to these then maybe we can chat otherwise, go ahead and step aside so you don’t waste MY time
