Today with the explosion of low cost, Consumer Electronics, some of which had the most incredible progress in the field of digital music. In this article, the general history of the tape and Digital Audio Recording.
The record before the record date audio as December 4, 1877. Thomas Edison was the first to record and reproduce the human voice. The technology that brought the phonograph was developed asdiscoveries that made the development of the telegraph and telephone. Its discovery came while he was experiencing as a diaphragm coupled to a moving coil would produce a weak signal modulated voice. During this period, was also his ongoing experiments with a telegraph repeater is a simple device that uses a needle to do falls within the paper with dots and dashes used in Morse code.
These two ideas have been appointed. Attacked pintelegraph repeater to the diaphragm in the mouthpiece of a telephone. During his first trial in July 1877, has tried successfully mechanically drawing a paper under the needle, while you are connected to the diaphragm, when he shouted into the mouthpiece. Unfortunately, this combination failed to produce the desired results. But from the sound a bit 'family was the seed of faith Edison is required to continue to pursue its vision.
During the following year, Edison andhis staff have worked diligently to refine his invention. His first important discovery was the place of the foil. It 'been a positive development and the paper was the first recording medium of life. A band of tin foil was mounted a cylinder. The cylinder rotated by hand with a hand crank during recording and playback. Its first note the words were recorded, "Mary Had A Little Lamb is fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary, the lamb was
surego. "
Early Techniques – 1890-1930
In an era of acoustic recordings (prior to the launch of the microphones,
electrical recording and amplification), the first studio recording was very
Room basic structures are mostly soundproof as isolated
artists from outside noise. During this period it was not uncommon
recordings in all public spaces have been created as a dance hall premises,
using portable acoustic recordingequipment.
In this period, the movie master of a direct-to-disc cutting
Performers process – were typically grouped around a large acoustic horn (an
extended version of the familiar phonograph horn) and acoustic energy
grades and / or instruments was channeled through the horn
membrane on a mechanical cutting lathe located in the next room, which
Keep the signal as a modulated groove directly onto the surface of
mastercylinder or disk.
After the invention and the commercial introduction of the microphone, the
electronic amplifier, microphone and speakers, registration
industry gradually converted to electric recording and this technology is
almost totally replaced mechanical acoustic recording methods after 1933.
The next turn to magnetic tape was developed by German inventors Josef started. Graduated in 1929 from Institute of Technology in Berlin, Germany, whereHe spoke of the revolutionary book research entitled "Magnetic Recording", during 1934-35 from developed and built the world's first tape recorder used for transmission.
More than 50 applications to magnetic tape has made further progress, particularly for the use of the study. The person whose research led to the first multi-track recording was the legendary Les Paul, the man who is also known for the popular guitarist Les Paul.
Paul's multitrack experiments frommid-1940s, progressed rapidly and in 1953 he commissioned Ampex to build the world's first eight-track reel-to-reel tape recorder, at his own expense. As a result of his diligent efforts, Ampex Corporation has released the first commercial multitrack recorders in 1955, and named the process "Sel-Sync (Selective Synchronous Recording). Elvis Presley was one of the first that many artists have benefited from this incredible i progress in the field of professional photography.
Our next major step isinvention of the cassette. In the Netherlands, Philips company invented and released the first klanklasetformaat compact in 1962. Have high quality polyester ribbon 1/8-inch manufactured by BASF and used. Recording and playback is at a rate of 1.7 / 8 inches per second, unbelievable for the time. Consumer demand for blank tape used for recording personal music was unexpected by Philips. They have a great and profitable company.
With the development of computer micro-chipthrough the sixties, particularly in the NASA space program, recording many visionaries knew that the ultimate future of audio recording was not, but the digital tape. The first major advances occurred in 1967 when the first tape recorder digital invented. A 12-bit 30 kHz stereo device using a task (similar to DBX Noise Reduction) to extend the dynamic range. In 1970, Thomas Stockham the first digital recordings using standard computer equipment, includingand the development of a digital audio recorder to its draft, the first of its kind to be offered for sale. In 1976 he became the first 16-bit digital recording from the Santa Fe Opera on a hand Sound Stream digital recorder.
Leads us to this day, the MP3 is probably the most important inventions that we enjoy. MP3 files are downloaded from the Internet-burned CDs and general importance for your iPod or iTunes. E 'was invented byA team of engineers from Philips in 1991. Compact disc soon followed and the rest is history.
I was introduced to digital recording technology, when I recorded and published my
first CD, WINDOWS, had in 1993. I was so lucky to have a good friend who was a consultant for Yamaha digital and a personal digital studio filled with the latest equipment, many of which were the prototypes that could help develop the Yamaha. (top secret stuff backSo)
Since the industry is absolutely exploding. It 'hard to believe that this technology is common in many homes and the level of professional studio was just recently in its infancy. The most progress was not only in technology and the availability to the public. When I have a digital recording studio built in 1994, I was very limited what they could afford because of high costs.
I remember the days when a top of the section lineSynthesizer mountain can cost as much as
5,000.00. When the computer, mixer, keyboard and other necessary measures
accessories, the price for a basic study to grow as 20,000.00
30,000.00, minimum. Now, the cost to the owner of a digital recording studio is the lowest 199.00. What happens if I say that I can sell your studio, you can use in your home, your car, on a picnic bench in a business trip or vacation! Isurely one would be interested! On my site, I sell Digital Recording Studio, complete set for under 600.00. This is an incredible value for the consumer.
