Hi-Q (production Music)
{{Multiple issues, {{Refimprove, date=November 2018 {{No footnotes, date=November 2018 Hi-Q was a brand and library of production music produced and distributed by Capitol Records between the early 1940s and late 1970s. It was used in several movies and other productions. Perhaps the most notable work to feature Hi-Q music was the 1968 film ''Night of the Living Dead''. The film's producer Karl Hardman used tracks from the library (some of which had been composed specially for the film), and then enhanced them by adding electronic effects, such as echo and reverb; this was unusual, as, in general, production music libraries only permit synchronization rights. Later, a soundtrack for this film was released by Varèse Sarabande, marking one of the few instances in which production music tracks have been released to the public. Productions using cues from the Hi-Q library include '' Dennis the Menace'', ''My Three Sons'', ''The Donna Reed Show'', ''The Huckleberry Hound Show'', ''Th ...

Production Music
Production music (also known as stock music or library music) is recorded music that can be licensed to customers for use in film, television, radio and other media. Often, the music is produced and owned by production music libraries. Background Unlike popular and classical music publishers, who typically own less than 50 percent of the copyright in a composition, production music libraries own all of the copyrights of their music. Thus, it can be licensed without the composer's permission, as is necessary in licensing music from normal publishers. This is because virtually all music created for music libraries is done on a work-for-hire basis. Production music is a convenient solution for media producers—they are able to license any piece of music in the library at a reasonable rate, whereas a specially commissioned work could be prohibitively expensive. Similarly, licensing a well-known piece of popular music could cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollar ...

Phonographic Record
A phonograph, in its later forms also called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name in the UK since 1910) or since the 1940s called a record player, or more recently a turntable, is a device for the mechanical and analogue recording and reproduction of sound. The sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the recorded sound. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air through a flaring horn, or directly to the listener's ears through stethoscope-type earphones. The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made seve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
