Where tape only recorded continuous analog sounds, digital recordings work by taking a large number of small samples of a sound very quickly.īut even once the digital recording was invented it was a luxury reserved only for high-end professional recording studios for a long time.Įventually, it would be possible to buy a computer for your home which would be capable of use in a recording setup. But as with tape recording before it, digital completely changed the musical world and the way music production was done. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that digital recording even became a thing. This method made recordings of much higher quality and also meant they could be much longer in length. The very first recordings in the early 20th century were created by a large horn-shaped object capturing sound and literally drawing out sound waves onto paper or wax.īy the middle of the century, magnetic tape recording became the technology of choice.
Over the past 100 years, audio recording has advanced significantly.
