	Sound recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Instead of recording by varying the depth of the groove (vertically), as with the phonograph, the vibration of the recording stylus was across the width of the track (horizontally).
		Magnetic recording was demonstrated in principle as early as 1898 by Valdemar Poulsen in his telegraphone.
		An electrical signal, which is analogous to the sound that is to be recorded, is fed to the recording head, inducing a pattern of magnetization similar to the signal.

	Analog recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Analog recording is the first way humans were able to store sounds for later playback.
		The analog recording method stored sounds as a continual wave in the media, rather than the discrete numbers used in digital recording.
		One of the drawback of many analog recordings was the poor fidelity.

	Analog Recording
		This is because the amplitude of the electrical signal produced is proportional to the side to side velocity of the stylus.
		The distance between spots in a single track is the wavelength of the signal, which depends on the frequency of the signal and the speed of the tape.
		Incidentally, since the record equalization increases the high frequency content of the signal, this clipping will happen to the highs first: that is why a cassette seems to lose its top end response when it is recorded "hot".

	What's the difference between digital and analog recording? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Analog recording is the process of storing the constant audio signal (some refer to it as "infinite" sampling, when comparing it to digital).
		As the tape races over the record head at 30 inches per second, it's magnetic particles are being manipulated by the signal coming through the head.
		This generally means that studios that use high-quality analog recording equipment tend to charge more than studios that use digital recording equipment.

	ultimate_recording_method
		The noise made by analog recording is somewhat masked by the recorder boosting the high-frequency energy of the signal before recording and then lowing the high frequency energy by the same amount on playback.
		Even with this built-in scheme to reduce recorded noise, analog recording is noisy, producing at least 256 times as much noise as the console and the other electronics that the signal must flow through.
		Analog recording is a prime example of this and this quality makes the analog recording more pleasing to the ear for many professionals.

	Digital Domain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Many people have argued that digital audio recording is more accurate than analog, saying the accuracy of digital is why we're noticing hardness and edginess in our recordings, and have regressed to tube and vintage microphones.
		But don't be fooled by the numbers; there's still some "magic" in the coloration of analog tape that we have not yet been able to reproduce in an all-digital recording, especially for popular music forms that often crave the sound of tape saturation.
		Analog tape has its own problems, but when operated within its linear range, unlike digital recording, it has never been accused of making sound "colder." However, digital recording has finally gotten good enough so that in acoustic music formats like classical and folk, some engineers are preferring digital recording's transparency over analog's warmth.

	Analog Tape
		The wavelength of a 15khz tone recorded at 15 ips is one thousandth of an inch, so a separation of half that amount can be expected to cause some loss of signal.
		All analog tape is recorded with a high frequency AC bias added to the signal to reduce distortion.
		If this is not the same for playback as it was for recording, the gap (which is the part of the head that actually detects magnetism) would straddle two bars, reducing the amount of signal.

		In 1906, the Poulson Telegraphone managed to record an intelligible voice on a magnetic medium, but it was not until the 1930s when this problem was solved by German engineers.
		It records a square wave on the tape, driving the tape into saturation at all times, and extracts the signal from the waveform edges.
		These domains are exposed to a magnetic field from the record head and oscillate in polarity as the AC signal voltage changes.

	Halfbakery: Better Analog Music Recording
		Analog recordings as we know them today are subject to degradation owing largely to environmental interaction with the recording and transmission media.
		Of course, recording audio as 24-bit "floating-point" samples [7-bit exponent, 1+16-bit mantissa, 1-bit sign with denormalization support] at a 14.3818MHz would be a bit expensive in both equipment and storage media, but the technology exists to do it.
		The facts that most digital recording implementations use 16-bit samples at 44Khz, and that sufficiently-expensive analog systems can be made better than those, do not imply that the best analog system that could be produced is better than the best digital system that could be produced.

		Analog Recorder has special clean-up filters that reduce the hissing and popping sounds caused by old media and recording devices.
		Analog Recorder is designed to transfer music from analog devices, such as a record, cassette, eight-track, or reel-to-reel player, to your digital music library.
		If you are recording from a record player, a preamplifier is required to increase the record player signal to the proper line-out specification for the line-in input on your computer sound card.

	Digital recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In digital recording, the analog signal of a sound is converted into a stream of discrete numbers, representing the changes in air pressure through time; thus making an abstract template for the original sound.
		The analog signal is transmitted from the input device to an analog to digital converter (ADC).
		The sequence of numbers is transmitted from storage into a digital to analog converter (DAC), which converts the numbers back to sound.

		Simply, it is plugging in any analog sound source (radio, TV, phono, tape player, mini-disc, etc) to the sound card in your computer, converting the analog to digital sound in the sound card with an A/D converter, and using CD recording software to save the digital audio as a wav file on your hard disk.
		If recording from records, the phono output must pass thru an amplifier since the phono cartridge has a real low level output.
		Think of analog recording as another tool to use with this wonderful device we affectionately call a CD burner.

	Analog vs. Digital Tape Recording
		Very simply, the information recorded is not the sound as you would hear it from a source, but a computer-language, numeric representation of the sound's intensity and pitch.
		It is these individuals who are rejecting the digital recording medium and its in-home partner, the compact disc player, as an inferior sound source, regression in reproducing music, another example of a world of accepted mediocrity or of large corporations' marketing progress for progress's sake to finance ongoing digital research.
		This method of digital pressing from an analog master is championed by a great many labels around the world, small though they may be, whose primary objective is nothing less than the finest possible quality of music capturing and reproduction for their valued clients.

	Response Curves of Analog Recorders
		Analog machines all sounded different to me, and I wanted to know why.
		The procedure was to do a repro circuit alignment using a reference tape with a series of tones recorded on it at standard levels, adjusting the repro circuits on the machine to play back all the frequencies at equal levels as much as possible.
		Then adjust bias and whatever else can be adjusted on the record circuit side of things (usually there are fewer adjustment options for the record circuitry), then fine-tune the repro alignment one more time.

		Typical low and average budget recording studios of 1980-1990th consisted of different musical instruments, microphones, analog preamplifiers and power amplifiers, speakers, monitors, a mixing console, multichannel type recorder and sound processing device.
		In the analog recording studios they need a whole chain of analog and digital devices (DSP) to make a professional guitar sound: a tube preamplifier, transistor (or tube) distortion, sustain, compressor, equalizer, guitar effects processor, tube power amplifier, speakers, microphones, a mixing console, type recorder.
		For example, a guitar sound recorded on the first channel of a virtual type recorder is processed by a digital chorus (Pro Tools), passed to DAC, then processed by analog distortion (SansAmp, WayHuge, TS-9), turned back to digital format by ADC and, finally, recorded by the digital type recorder again.
