Ponce de León and the Idea of Spanish Florida (1513-1521)
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
Juan Ponce de León is more famous today for the myths that surround him rather than the man that he was. Living in a brutal time, hot on the heels of the Reconquista and the voyages of Christopher Columbus, de León will leave a mark on the island of Puerto Rico and plant the seed for Spanish Florida. A life of high risk, high reward, violent behavior that will not make de León a modern man, but...

    The Cayuga tribe was one of the Five Nations of the League of Iroquois who lived mainly in New York State. As such, there is, in NY, a Village of Cayuga, a Cayuga County, and a Cayuga Lake, which is one of the Finger Lakes. So, as others have offered here, there are quite a few Cayuga Streets throughout this region. One interesting tidbit is that during the 30's and 40's law enforcement would often tap into telephone lines and use wire recorders to secretly record people, and the term "wiretap" was born.

    These videos are great and I appreciate what must have been hours of research, composition, and recording, but the number of splices and dubs in this one is kinda below your standard. Like, if you have to stitch more than a couple quick cuts, you should probably re-record the sentence. The tone becomes distracting otherwise, and you want your read to honor the time you've invested already. Great series! Clear that a lot of sources have been woven together to make a good story. Maybe remaster this one.

    The thin tape from the late 70s and early 80s, they had different types of machines. 4 track and 2 track and 1 track and I would bet they had a 8 track I bought studio recordings from the early 80s and I had a 2 track machine and the tapes were 4 tracks I tried to find a 4 track machine but they were used in studios. My dad worked at GE Schenectady too, in the mailroom 12345 They would get all the Santa Claus letters from the Northeast They would ask for guys to take a letter and write back to the kids And some of the letters were really sad and guys would buy gifts for the kids that were poor 3rd and Cayuga, Lewiston NY, or Oswego NY or possibly Philadelphia, Fulton NY and Ithaca NY also had these streets

Now multiple (Dozens!) of copies exist on peoples phones, SD cards, CDs etc...

      Two months ago I found a 1960s reel to reel tape recorder from my grandparents along with their 1/4 tapes. These were all radio recordings with music they probably liked and fortunately all the tapes were in great shape, except one that literally crumbled but was able to record it while it was destroying. These are gold, hours and hours of music from the 60s, a glimpse on what they liked to hear on the italian radio. Now I've digitalized all of them and made lots of copies. I'm so happy to have preserved these recordings, I think they would be happy. I should upload of them on the Internet Archive. And yes I totally agree with you! If you find old media preserve it, or if you don't know how ask someone. It's so important if we want to save this content for the future generations :)

    I have audio recordings of my famil that go back to 1942. Prescrious memories. The one recording of 1942 was on a record recorder that was a cardboardrecord whith some kind of coating like plastic that the groove was cut into it. The only recording of my grandmother we have. Then, moy brother made disc recording in the early 1950s amd moved on to tapes in 1955. I continued with reel to reel recording from 1958 until 1960 when my recorder deied. But, i kept the tapes and have transfered some to CD for the family to have. They aren't interested as i was to hear people that are no longer with us.

    It sounds like you went a little heavy on the noise reduction. It muffled the audio and there were a lot of digital artifacts going on. I always transfer off stuff dry with no processing or NR. Then, if I use any of it in post, I don't just apply a filter. I capture a baseline of the noise from a silent or quiet passage in the recording and remove just that noise from the entire recording. Either processed with software like Adobe Audition or inversely by polarity. Anyway, that's a pretty cool find. Old "found audio" is always a fun score.

    Recording fascinated me from an early age when I was given a wind-up Victrola and some 1920s-30s records by my parents. Then I discovered that our across-the-street neighbors had a wire recorder in their living room (part of an entertainment console). I pestered them to show me how it worked. The answer: not well. Surely not as well as this Air-O-King machine does. In 1957, Sears Roebuck in our town started carrying tape recorders and I was hooked for life. I still own one and it works. Congratulations on this machine. It works quite well in spire of the jerk who decided to erase part of the family recording with his less than interesting comments.
