Sync sound (synchronized sound recording) refers to sound recorded at the time of the filming of movies, and has been widely used in movies since the birth of sound movies.
Even in the silent film era, films were shown with sounds, often with musical accompaniment by a pianist keeping time with the screen action. The first synchronization was a turning recording device marked with a white spot. As the white spot rotated, the cameraman hand cranked the camera to keep it in sync with the recording. The method was then repeated for playback, but with the projectionist hand cranking the film projector.
"Single-system" sound recorded sound optically to part of the original camera film, or magnetically to a stripe of magnetic coating along the film edge.
"Double-system" sound used independent cameras and sound recorders. The first sync sound standard used recorders and cameras both powered by AC (alternating current) motors - essentially clock motors.
Later the 50Hz or 60Hz sine wave, called a "Pilotone," was recorded on a second parallel track of an audio recorder.
This is the first scene of an act with my own hands stuck in my back
Around here, the puppet is the puppeteer
And I was down for the proverbial count
So what do you want from me? (So what do you want from me?)
Another song about apathy?
Heartbreak is a friend these days, but I couldn't care less
That's what I get paid to say
I am lost a lot
But you can't believe me and my stomach knots
You can't see that
Whoa oh, I can't find my way
Whoa oh, I can't find it
Should I say something sensational now?
This life comes with some doubts
Da da da...
And now my life has become a circus
In the center ring, I'm the crying clown
It's a little too exciting on the trapeze
When you swing with your eyes glued to the ground
And make feel like a boomerang
You push it out, it comes back again
Heartbreak is a trend these days
I couldn't care less
Never been that trendy anyway
I am lost a lot
But you can't believe me and my stomach knots
You can't see that
Whoa oh, I can't find my way
Whoa oh, I can't find it
Should I say something sensational now?
This life comes with some doubts
We'll go along thinking everything is wrong
Watch our lives from afar
But looking back is not so bad
Realize what you've been missing
Da da da...
Whoa oh, I can't find my way
Whoa oh, I can't find my way
Whoa oh, I can't find my way
