Welcome to the American Sound Archives.
These unissued recordings were produced by the Edison Company between the years of 1914-1929. The repertoire includes Vaudeville Sketches, Popular Vocal Songs of the era, Opera/Classical, Jazz, Dance Bands of the 1920's, speeches by popular orators and political figures, and the voice of Mr. Edison himself!
Approximately 90% of these ten-inch records were made prior to the introduction of electrical recording methods. Edison records were nearly 1/4 inch thick, with the recording surface being bonded to an inner wooden "core" which made them more durable than the other phonograph records issued at that time. These discs were also cut in a special way utilizing a highly polished diamond stylus, so that only an Edison Phonograph could successfully reproduce the recording the way it was intended to sound. These records, now commonly referred to as "Edison Diamond Discs" are prized by collectors for their remarkable clarity and tone ...

LiveAxis:
Live events of all kinds are taking place across the globe, and very few of them are captured for posterity. To date, financial and logistical constraints have been the primary reasons for this unfortunate reality. Now it is possible to cost-effectively capture audio and video from any location in the world, from one centralized Network Operations Studio, and produce the content for distribution to consumers via traditional and new media outlets. Music, sports, education and medicine are just a few of the many markets to which this new breed of technology can be applied.
Click here for a more detailed overview of LiveAXIS technology.
The Livewire Media company has created a proprietary platform, called LiveAXIS, which enables remote recording, production and conferencing of multi-media content from any location in the world, at a fraction of the cost of traditional live recording methods. With LiveAXIS, large quantities of broadcast-quality multi-media content can be recorded, produced, archived and distributed more easily and efficiently than ever before. LiveAXIS can be applied to a variety of business sectors. The technology is currently operational in the music industry and in the area of distance learning.
How It Works:
LiveAXIS can turn any location into a recording studio that does not require any on-site recording engineers. The control room for such a "virtual" studio may be located hundreds or thousands of miles away, as all content is gathered over private data networks. LiveAXIS enables engineers on one side of the world to remotely record and broadcast an event taking place on the other in real time, with pristine sound quality and multiple camera angles that would customarily only be possible with on-site technical personnel and mobile recording equipment.
The Hardware:
The hardware component of this remote multi-media capture technology consists of a "black box," which can be installed in venues or event spaces of any kind. This "black box" feeds audio and video tracks to engineers at a Network Operations Studio ("NOS") via a private high-speed data network.
LiveAXIS has no impact on sound reinforcement in a venue or event space, and is likewise unaffected by the "house sound". All microphone feeds are discreetly pulled directly from the stage area through LiveAXIS, and engineers have full control, on a channel-by-channel basis, of an audio mix that is created in real time, miles away at the NOS. Individual microphone feeds are also recorded separately, as multi-tracks, allowing for full post-production, just as in a traditional recording studio. The result is pristine, CD-quality sound, readily available for live and syndicated broadcast and/or production and distribution ...
