Report of the Sound Committee
The Sound Committee this year has decided to concentrate upon four projects, the first two of which will be discussed in some detail because the Sound Committee will need the coöperation of every one if it is to accomplish anything on them. The object of the first project is to achieve greater uniformity in the sound records from the various producers. Certainly, it will be agreed that that is necessary and desirable; but at once the question arises as to what is the proper or ideal recording characteristic. The Sound Committee three years ago recommended1 to the Standards Committee that the dividing line between recording and reproduction should be the release print—that all losses incurred up to the release print“…should be compensated for in the recording operation. The frequency characteristic of the reproducing apparatus should be flat except for a correction for whatever slit is used.” This recommendation, however, has not been adopted, as yet, by the Standards Committee, and it is the sense of the present Sound Committee that the recommendation should be reconsidered in the light of the developments and data accumulated during the past three years.
