Blending Sound and Image In 1877 the first sound recording was made. It is archive material now - the faltering voice of Thomas Edison reciting of all things, 'Mary had a Little Lamb'. Edison both made and reproduced it on his most famous invention - the gramophone. Sound technology has come along way since Edison's primitive tinfoil cylinder. From fragile shellac 78's to 3" Compact discs, from Rudimentary mono-aural recording to sound studios equipped with 48-track analogue recording and mixing. To digital technology. Digital sound is the sound of the future. Like every other technological advance, it represents not only a technical breakthrough but an imaginative leap forward. For it takes imagination to conceive of sound reproduction, that clear, that pure. And that versatile. In the digital domain sound can be manipulated as never before to produce a quality and range of effects that would have seemed impossible even a few years ago. And it takes imagination to use the technology effectively. This is the cornerstone of the Metrophonics approach. What makes Metrophonics unique is our understanding of visual medium and the creative skills we bring to the task of merging sound with picture. Creative skills, moreover, that are applied to every area of Metrophonic's operations whether it be using sound to enhance visual content, recording material to be used in any area of the media we service - film, television, multimedia, corporate video and radio, or creating and recording commissioned music and effects. At Metrophonics we blend sound and image to produce a quality of sound that precisely meets the needs of our clients. |
