Since we are talking a little about acoustic recording, how many of you have worked with acoustic recorders, moulded cylinders, and or recorded acoustic discs. I for one have recorded over 1000 acoustic wax cylinders, and formulized the composition, moulded and recorded on them. I am not talking transfer work, but moulding the cylinders, and actually recording on them. Much of the studio work of the acoustic era has been lost, due to the secretive nature of recording engineers of the day. Even today,we try to keep our finer points of acoustic recording techniques a secret. Such important points as studio temperature, and the relation of how sound waves travel into the horns at different temperatures, calucaltion of timbere and tone, knowing the K values of different materials for diaphragms to use for different instruments, and calucalting how hard or sof the wax is for the different seasons, when to mould the masters, when not to, and just the manipulation of the wax moulding technique.
