Research Council Basic Sound Committee: Discussion of Magnetic Recording

The following notes on discussions held at two meetings of the Research Council Basic Sound Committee concern the use of magnetic recording in motion picture studios. These meetings were held for a general discussion between the designers and manufacturers of magnetic recording and reproducing equipment and studio sound personnel for two reasons: (1) to allow the manufacturer to have an idea of the possible uses of their equipment and to obtain very general specifications on equipment to fulfill these uses, and (2) to allow studio personnel to obtain an idea of the present and possible future capabilities of magnetic systems. — It should be realized that definite conclusions have not yet been reached and the recommendations contained herein are very tentative. — The Research Council Basic Sound Committee has set up a Subcommittee on Magnetic Recording. This subcommittee is available to answer questions concerning studio practices and recording and reproducing equipment and will co-operate actively with those interested in the design, development, and manufacture of magnetic recording and reproducing equipment. Inquiries to this subcommittee may be addressed to the Research Council, 1217 Taft Building, Hollywood 28, Calif.
