International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / The strip-chart recorder has evolved from a simple pen-writing instrument to an instrumentation platform. Today's Telemetry Recording Workstations not only provide a permanent hard copy of telemetry data, but also offer high resolution videographic displays with real-time point-of-writing representation, the ability to efficiently store data digitally, and customizable user interfaces. Host control and digital data transfer can be achieved using Ethernet networks, making the instrument an integral part of a telemetry system. The Telemetry Recording Workstation is a fundamental instrument for any telemetry application or installation, due to its abilities to display, print and store real-time data.

Thesis (MPhil (Music))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the role of natural or realistic audio recordings in popular music in the context of the different nature of popular music where the goal is not necessarily the recreation of the original acoustic space. Traditional microphone techniques are investigated from the perspective of the identifiable characteristics of popular music to establish the role of microphone techniques to obtain a desired outcome. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die rol van natuurlike of realistiese klankopnames in populêre musiek in die lig daarvan dat die aard van populêre opnames verskil van reproduksie wat poog om die opnameruimte akoesties te herskep. Tradisionele mikrofoontegnieke word bestudeer vanuit die hoek van die identifiseerbare eienskappe van populêre musiek om te bepaal watter rol mikrofoontegniek kan speel om ’n verlangde uitkoms te bewerkstellig.

Thesis (MMUS)--Stellenbosch University, 2015 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the role and implementation of the checklist in audio production studios. The goal of this study is to limit frequent human error by compiling and testing a checklist to be used in these studios. Procedures and checklists implemented in the life-critical elds of medicine and aviation have been studied and used as a framework, in order to shape this checklist to be relevant to a wide variety of audio production studios. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die rol en toepassings van die kontrolelys in klankateljees. Die doel van hierdie studie is om te ondersoek of die gebruik van kontrolelyste aangewend kan word om menslike foute te beperk, deur middel van die samestelling en toetsing van `n kontrolelys vir gebruik in hierdie ateljees. Werkswyses en kontrolelyste wat tans in die lewenskritiese sektore van lugvaart en die mediese wetenskappe benut word, is bestudeer en as raamwerk benut om te verseker dat hierdie kontrolelys toepaslik sal wees vir `n wye verskeidenheid klankproduksie-ateljees.

This thesis studies the development of the British recording studio from the mid-1960s to the early-1990s. Although there are now a growing number of academic studies of popular music they have, so far, largely failed to study the evolving process by which artists were able to reproduce their music for mass distribution. Consequently, this dissertation investigates the image portrayed of the studio and its utilisation and representation by a combination of human, technological and locational factors. The first part of the thesis constructs an overview of the recording studio industry, as based on contemporary trade journals, in order to produce a traditional historical narrative, so far absent from music’s historiography, which provides the framework in which to place more detailed research. The prominence given by the industry to the ‘progress of technology’ is then compared to the public perception of the recording studio, as shown by the extent and content of its inclusion in the popular culture media of the period, both print and film based. How far the process of producing recorded music managed to permeate through the presentation of a music industry that was becoming increasingly reliant on the image and personality of the artists themselves is then analysed. The second part of the thesis is based on Latour’s concept of actor-networks and deconstructs the recording studio into three main components; technology, architecture and the human element within it. Using one particular studio (Strawberry Recording Studios in Stockport) as being representative of the increasing proportion of small independents in the industry, the further deconstruction of these three components into their constitutional networks, provides the key theme of the dissertation. Consequently, studio technology can be viewed not simply in terms of functional machinery in the studio setting (of Latourian ‘black boxes’) but more as a confusing and intrusive element that was developed, shaped and created by the requirements of those in the studio. And, whilst contemporary society has always elevated the status of the performer in the music industry, the human element in the studio can also be shown to comprise the industrial and social interaction between a wide range of support staff, whose roles and importance altered over time, and the artists themselves. Finally, studio buildings were not just backdrops to the work taking place in them but were seen to extend their boundaries and influence beyond their immediate location through their architecture, interior design and geography. In other words, the recording studio might be seen as the combination of a number of fluctuating networks rather than just as a passive element in the production of recorded music. As a result of the content of the subject being studied, this thesis utilises a number of sources that, in Samuel’s terminology, moves the study away from a ‘fetishization’ of the traditional historical archive towards those of ‘unofficial learning’. Given the immediacy of the period being studied, the personal accounts of those involved in the studio, mainly through the use of oral history, form a major part of the research material.

ITC/USA 2011 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Seventh Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2011 / Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper presents a case study of an FTI system with complex requirements in terms of the data acquisition, recording, and post-analysis. Gigabit Ethernet was the technology of choice to facilitate such a system. Recording in a Gigabit Ethernet environment raises a fresh challenge to perform fast data reduction and data mining for post-flight analysis. This paper describes the Quick Access Recorder used in this system and how it addresses this challenge.
