the principle of recording and reproducing sound between May and July in 1877 as a byproduct of his efforts to 'play back' recorded telegraph messages. He even automated speech sounds from transmitting by telephone.
On November 21, 1877 he announced his invention of the first phonograph which was a device for recording and replaying sound and demonstrated the device for the first time on November 29.

Multitrack Recorder:
Multitracking is also known as multitracking or tracking for short term. This started with a guitarist, Les Paul in the late 1940s who experimented with over dubbing.

Originally, it is a method of sound recording that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources to create a cohesive whole.

This is the second time researching on three different campaigns. now I will be analysing the three different campaigns which is in below.
It is an Eco-campaign. the main message of the poster is to keep clean and maintain a healthy lifestyle in every surrounding.
The poster is aimed at general public. Yes, the poster is effective in getting its message across because the image of a knife shows there are times people are bullied due to unhealthy lifestyle where there is too much of discharging the dirtiness in the world and main thing is recycling the unwanted things like plastics, glass etc.
It is an anti-smoking campaign. The main message of the poster of this campaign is to stop smoking and if people insist you to smoke just say 'no' to smoking. The poster is aimed at general public (young people, teenagers and deep smokers). Yes, the poster is quite effective in getting its message across because the image shows three different types of cigarettes being 'kicking out of the door'. The picture really sends a huge message as it describes us not get involve in smoking matters and just avoid it.
The poster is about the Anti-global campaign. The main message of the poster is that the marine animals are being misused and due to global warming world wide, the sea water are fatally dumped and dirty. So, to be aware of less fishing and less hydrating, the sea should be out of pollution and destruction. This poster is aimed at general public. Yes, the poster is effective in getting its message across because the image of the goldfish wearing a gas masks shows that their loss in habitat and inability to deal with the warming climate the campaign poster reflects a powerful imagery.

The main message of the poster is that the marine animals are being misused and due to global warming world wide, the sea water are fatally dumped and dirty. So, to be aware of less fishing and less hydrating, the sea should be out of pollution and destruction. This poster is aimed at general public. Yes, the poster is effective in getting its message across because the image of the goldfish wearing a gas masks shows that their loss in habitat and inability to deal with the warming climate the campaign poster reflects a powerful imagery. The main focus on this poster is the marine animals are not getting oxygen in the sea due to too much of global warming in the world.

NCFE-Music Technology
After completing the work of evaluation on radio play script we were given a new task to finish. The new task is about the music technology where we have to find two different range of jobs are done in the Music Technology Industry. I looked up in an internet where different kinds of jobs were involved.The range of jobs in the Music Technology Industry I chose are Record Producer and Music Promoters.
RECORD PRODUCER:-
Record producer is one of the most important person in the music industry.
A record producer is a music industry professional who works with artists to produce records much like film producers, record producers plays a role in shapi1ng the artistic direction of the projects they work on, and even also controls the quality and generating a project which may be successful. Producers are a very important part of the team which gets an album from the minds of the musicians to the shelves of retail stores.
Record producer's roles are:-
-plays a key role in recording sessions, controlling the schedule and working with the sound engineer to get the desired sound,
-Gathering and directing the ideas of the project,
-Getting into the songwriting process and learning about songwriting and sequencing,
-Being able to work with musicians and artist and get the best out of them,
-Working with a recording engineer and other studio owners,
-Using sound effects, samples and other techniques to make song sound different and unique,
-Mixing and editing the song, and finally
-Mastering the song.
Being a record producer can vary, depending on the type of music being recorded and the preference of the musicians' style of music. Record producers from a hip hop labels are often quite famous than the musicians they work with, and can make or break the success. In contrast the record producers working with classical musicians often have less involved artistically which only may focused on getting a good, clean recording. Basically, in this present generation many record producers are involved in being as a songwriter, a musician and recording engineering.
Salary Information:
The normal salary of a record producer may range from over $30,000 up to more than $50,000 on a yearly basis.
Qualifications:
Most record producers have certificates in any of the following: songwriting, composition, music production, sound engineering, musical history and theory, etc. People who plan to be record producers may have to spend most of their time focusing on their piano skills as the said instrument is usually the main composition tool of songwriters and producers. Nowadays, record producers should have skills on digital technology as producing music today has become quite dependent on computer software.
Having this job could be easier for the people who have dreams to be a record producer but there are times in struggling with singers and bands who insists to give ideas for their Cd album. Record producers should understand what they need in their songs and styles for the concept for the music.
