Edison Phonogram Recording 1892

[DerekBayRoberts1]

When exactly was cars invented? this supposed to 1892, right? I see a car. When did the "Horse & carriage" thing stop?

[MRLOL785]

@DerekBayRoberts1 The uploader just put random silent movie clips to make it interesting.

[hitmankgm]

@DerekBayRoberts1 from what i know, the first car was made in 1896, and 'horse and carriage' probably stopped about the 1930s

[EmmetEarwax]

This is not the sound track of an old movie. This film footage was added because the filmer opted not to just show a phonograph running the cylinder, but to show what went on in those days at the labs.

[laura20022004]

I feel like im going back in time watching this

[evxdaddy]

I was 9yrs old when this shit came out. First time hearing it in 118yrs. WoW thanks for the upload player.

[boyhey1]

very good work, awesome job edison...

[Batamon1997]

He had a car then?

[Batamon1997]

I didn't know Thomas Edison owned a car that early? Whay company is it from?

[infrogmation]

@Batamon1997 I believe Edison had a Detroit Electric automobile.

[ViewTubeO]

That is OLD !! Thanks for Upload !!

You'd think with today's technologies that the white noise could be easily removed, leaving the voice much more audible.

[vincentjdrummer]

@DamonWakefield

With that much white noise and that little voice it would probably sound so unnatural that it wouldn't really be beneficial. Most noise reductors filter specific frequencies of white noise, but with this much noise that would also take away a lot of frequencies from the voice, which would leave it pretty much butchered

[DamonWakefield]

@vincentjdrummer True. I had forgotten about that.

[ksteiger]

Film from different time frame. Duh. His facotroy was about 5 miles from where I grew up.

[MegaSpearchucker]

this had to be in the early 1900s.. he was born in the 1840s for goodness sakes.. theyre trying to make him look 70yrs old in 1888? please.. get real

[trunks007100]

Can you hear me now? Good.

[hughmorris2008]

pretty fancy 1927 Fords going by in 1897

[tim4962]

Sounds like to me I hear him say, Go to 711 and get me a cup of cappuccino. But it can't be that can it. Time Machine?

[tim4962]

It sounds like my TV. The signal I am unable to receive, thanks to the government.

[jsimone1320]

i dont think there was cars in that year and if there was they didnt look like that

[mikeman9412]

do they have edisons voice on recording?

[19smokey19]

i think the guy at 2.10 is saying to his boss, i need a piss..lol.

[VideyoJunkei]

SPEAK UP!!!!

[starletdempsy]

I think if time didn't get to it, I feel that it could have been "heard" much better. Age kills.

[Orious69]

guys listen im one of the progenitors of the use of Edisons technology, i work with sound and sound technology and (modern obviously) anyways i think i can filter some of the noise to hear his voice more clearly.

[bhconnectionjigsaw]

if you did tellme please !

[spectralmusic]

Is this also the first digital recording of the first analogue recording? The original is poor quality enough without modern digital distortions.

[FORCETHETRUTH]

He is sayin I want my money bro!!

[CarlosJulio20]

The recording sounds so bad because Edison saved it as a .DOS instead of MP3.

[thejew2212]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...compute­r humor

[bhconnectionjigsaw]

looooooooooooooooool

[olebaj]

@CarlosJulio20 HAHAHAHAHA

[evxdaddy]

@CarlosJulio20 Good one! LoL

[Alexthekiller10]

@CarlosJulio20 110 years ago, 16 bps, it was very good. ^^

[IQQIQQI]

i am one of those people who enjoy 78 scratches, this is a real treat !

[thelegendpuppet]

its an EVP its a Ghost !

[Cubinoid]

Amzing how a recording so old can sound so modern...it's just like a very aliased mp3...

;)

[MetalHeart8787]

thats Because it IS an MP3

Edison used to Download songs all the time

[dua72]

I think he said at first was "Mary Had A Little Lamb". I also read it in an Amazing Facts book.

[FriendlyClay]

Lolzig! Very short sighted of him in my opinion.

[voicetube]

I see that there are two negative marks re: my "digital studio" comment - it was meant to be amusing and apoligize to anyone it may have offeneded.

I am actually a big fan of Mr. Edison and only hold him and his work in the highest regard.

[ChrisThe87]

Fear not. Any comment marked as spam is read by more people than the other uncontroversial comments. People wonder what was posted that could cause such offence. I added a thumbs-up in any case.

[tomservo3]

this is 2 years before the dickson experimental sound film? are you sure?

[PaulStryper24]

Can You Restore It?

[eartopsy]

There are some of us that appreciate that "white noise" - adds to the ambience. It's awful when someone tries to clean that noise off pushing buttons on their home computer. They end up with an oversampled mess that sounds ridiculous - Long live analog artifacts! ;) Earlnut (below), I think the movie was just something for us to watch while we listened. I don't think "mrocklin" ever claimed it was from the wax cylinder. Check the copyright on your brain sir.

[lovesGenet]

WOw

[bjgamers]

hehe..... its surely from 1910

[trippendale742]

fuck off

[VinylShellacLover]

If you go to the national parks' website on Edison, you can hear several very clear recordings from about 1888, one of them the oldest known surviving copy of his voice as he shows off his new medium.

There's also the oldest known recording of music from the same year, a very large choir performing something by Handel. Surreal.

[PhantomDog]

Brilliant but loopy. He actually thought the body was worked by millions of tiny men like a giant machine.

[earlnut]

1892? Looks like about a 1920 Ford there he's driving off in. Might want to check the copyright on that one...

[VideoJunkei]

There is a lot of digital noise heard, if you can upload the highest quality sound you can.

[TopVideo77]

You could remove all the hiss and hum from that recording by processing your computer recording with audio editing software. Then you could use the software to amplify the clean track and it should sound pretty good. I only have rudimentary experience with audio editing software but its pretty easy to locate someone on the web to do that. You should have pretty good success, the recording really isn't that bad.

[pw3djoe]

god damn

[candyloveandy]

i dont think it from 1892

Thomas Edison was born in 1847

but he looked like in more than 60-year-old in this movie,he was an old man,not a 45 man

[bphutchins]

obviously the movie had to have been made much later, this isn't a soundtrack to it, that's just there for something to watch

[finnon28]

I feel the need to question what the point in joining a wax cylinder track from 1892 with footage shot and edited much later is?

[Saraculture13]

Woah, I can hardly hear him! This is remarkable.

[clauditaluna]

great****************

[THEGLASSOFMILK]

woahhhh this must belike super rare.. its awesome...keep it up... the video, i mean, don't take it down

[olebaj]

This is not 1892 for sure but between 1900-1910
