A Consideration of Some Special Methods for Re-Recording
Re-recording seems to be a necessary part of present-day production technic, because of which many of the limitations that otherwise face the original recording process may be altered. The increasing demands for higher quality make it desirable to examine the available methods for the original recording so that the eventual re-recording process may yield the best results. — This paper reports the results of an examination of the various methods of employing wax and film recording for this purpose. Such problems as the required frequency characteristics, harmonic distortion, available volume range, ground-noise suppression, speed constancy, and other similar considerations have been reviewed theoretically and experimentally. While the data itself will not be presented in detail, the results of the investigation and the conclusions that have led the RCA Manufacturing Company to regard the so-called push-pull film recording method superior for re-recording work, will be outlined.
