Submission + - Les Paul Releasing Restored Historic Footage
good soldier svejk writes: Les Paul, inventor of overdubbing, delay effects, phasing, multitrack recording and the solid-body electric guitar, is releasing a DVD of restored episodes of the groundbreaking Les Paul & Mary Ford at Home TV show.
"The shows were all made in our home here, which was also our studio. What makes them different is that there was only Mary and me, just two people," he says. "And we did all of the music, the complete show, with one quarter-inch Ampex tape machine that I had adjusted to do sound-on-sound recording. This was prior to the multi-track, which I also invented. So for this show I did the engineering, directing, writing, the whole thing."
The restoration was done on a Mac Pro running Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro. The 92 year old Paul apparently endorses Apple, which is hosting a sample video. The restoration is quite impressive, as of course is the music.
