An S-curve analysis of the portable audio players industry yields interesting insights about the technological evolution of the industry as well as the implications for the firms competing in the market of such devices. In order to effectively analyze the industry it is useful to first provide a brief overview of the evolution of the technology of portable audio players. In 1964 the first portable audio device was introduced in the market, the 8 track cartridge stereo. The four most important
When it comes to recording in a modern day environment DAW’s (digital audio workstation) are an essential piece of equipment if professional standard results are desired. Although DAW’s are considered a modern technological advancement the first attempt at a DAW was in 1977 and it came from Dr. Tom Stockham’s Soundstream (See references for full description) digital system. It had very powerful editing capabilities and for its time a very advanced crossfader but was still primitive compared to today’s
Development of Digital Audio The development of digital audio has drastically changed the Audio Engineering Industry. While it is debatable whether the change is for the better, I believe that the increased editing flexibility, cost effectiveness, convenient storage, as well as many other advantages offered, make digital audio the clear winner over purely analog setups. It is not my intention to debate whether analog sounds better than digital or vice versa; rather, it is my intention to discuss
Abstract As technology advances, the research of digital signal processing is undergoing rapid development. At present, it has been used in many fields such as communications industry, voice and acoustics applications, radar and image. The processing of the speech signal is one of the key areas of DSP application. So far, it has formed a number of research directions, such as speech analysis, speech enhancement, speech recognition, voice communication, etc.. With the development of IT technology

Car Audio Introduction Many individuals around the world suffer unknowingly to mediocre sound quality in their day to day commutes. Some know quite well that it is time for an upgrade however. As cars that were manufactured with speakers are still being used 87 years after they were made, the speakers inside those vehicles generally do not last nearly as long. Overtime as speakers begin to fall apart, the sound quality can become quite poor. Vehicle owners might go looking for an upgrade or replacement
information without wearing it out and if he could make the binary compact enough he could store a bunch on a small piece of film. Bettelle let him pursue his project and in 1970, after years of work, he succeeded in inventing the first digital-to-optical recording and playback system, the CD. A CD is a simple round piece of plastic about 4/100ths of an inch thick, and 12 centimeters in diameter used for electronic recording, storing, and playback. Most of a CD consists
Sound Recording in Canada, not regulated by the Government Introduction Sound recording was initially invented in 1857 by Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville. The development of sound recording has gone through multiple stages to become what it is today. From phonographs to magnetic tapes and further developments, sound recording has been used within the music industry for ages. The government does not regulate the process of sound recording, however conflicts regarding copyright infringements are
Sound Recording, Its History And Impact On Media In The 21st Century On this essay I will try to show how Sound Recording impacts media in the 21st century. But in order for me to do that I will need to explore the history of Sound Recording, which started in the 19th Century. Before 1877 sound could be recorded but not played. That year Thomas Alva Edison invented the talking tin foil, also known as the phonograph (voice – writer), which enabled sound to be played back (the
The Possibilities and Problems of Digital Recording and Distribution Abstract: This essay deals with the creative possibilities generated by the influx of inexpensive and easy to use digital recording software, hardware, and digital distribution techniques. One of the main themes of the essay is the problem of upholding creativity and artistic integrity in an unmediated digital environment. What would you say if I told you that I had bought entire paragraphs of this paper
