In what ways do you think this analogy applies? In what ways does Roger Waters see multitracking as having potential pitfalls? Ask the class: Who do you think owned Ampex machines? Where do you think you might have found an Ampex in ? Now show your students Image 2 , an advertisement for the Tascam Teac Read the advertisement out loud as a class and then ask: Who is the Teac being marketed to? Which of these two machines looks easier to move? How might the size and weight of a machine effect who uses it and where?
How do you think being able to bring a machine into the home or office might affect the way a musician makes music? How are the studios you see in each clip different? Where is the Eurythmics studio located? How do you think the Teac figured into the size of their set up? Would they have been able to use the Ampex ? Encourage students to recognize how much smaller the Eurythmics studio is and how the size and reduced costs of the space allowed them to experiment. Though they could have used an Ampex , its size would have made getting it up to the attic quite difficult.
How many people does Lennox suggest were involved in the Eurhythmics sessions? Students might recall that they suggested they worked slowly and without concern for the opinions of anyone but themselves. Do you think there was a cost difference in the two studios? Encourage students to contrast the prices of the multitrack recorders and then imagine that they represent the overall costs in general. Ask the class: In what ways does a microphone function like the human ear?
For the longest time, it has been the go-to MTR software of mixing professionals and newbie home recording artists. Other recording software that are making a buzz in the mixing and editing industry would be GarageBand, MixPads and Avid Pro.

Home Recording History of Multitrack Recording.
Table of Contents. What does EP stand for in music? Please enter your comment! Until all methods of recording and playback of magnetic audio tapes were performed with open tape reels. All that changed with the innovation from the Dutch electronics giant Philips that became absolute standard for a carrier of musical data - cassette tape. Other improvement of this multitrack recording medium came with the introduction of much improved sound range and signal to noise ratio that was made by Dolby Laboratories in s, and the worldwide craze that came with the release of Sony's portable pocket cassette player - Walkman in In today modern times, audio engineers most commonly use 24 tracks for recording a song.
It was hardly anything to write home about. After a tip-off from a British army officer, his team raided a castle in Bad Nauheim, the hub of Radio Frankfurt during the war. The Nazis had not even bothered to classify it, which is what made it so hard to find in the first place.
The American troops would soon be heading back home. Mullin attained two unmodified Magnetophons and took all the requisite permissions to bring them back as war souvenirs.
He dismantled them and shipped them to San Francisco. Upon returning home, he worked on refinements for three months, refitting them with American electronics. Louis, Minnesota, USA. Jack T. He ranks among the greatest artists of the 20 th century and has a widespread influence in music and pop culture. In the s, Crosby was not just a star, he was a national institution.
His minute radio broadcasts were all the rage everywhere. He was earning top billing on full-length films and had commercial sponsors and massive contracts. This Crosby fella was a man of immense charisma, drive, and monetary clout. More importantly, he was a keen and insatiable entrepreneur. He had investments in real estate, mines, oil wells, cattle ranches, racehorses, music publishing, baseball teams, and television. He made a fabulous fortune from the Minute Maid Orange Juice Corporation, in which he was a principal stockholder.
As you may imagine, he was a busy man. While no one doubts that Crosby wanted to revolutionize the recording industry, rumor has it that he wanted to pre-record his shows so that he could golf more often. The performances and regimentation of the then-broadcasting industry were grueling. He was hankering for a way to change the recording methods and lacquer discs. Then Murdo Mackenzie told him about Jack T.
Mullin at the most opportune time. In the s, magnetic tape had arrived and multitrack technology, however nascent, was available for those arduous enough to employ it. The groundwork for the first multitrack recorder was laid by Lester Willian Polsfuss, better known as Les Paul. In the late s, he wanted to find a way to play multiple guitar parts by himself to figure out harmonies and embellishments. He took an old deck tape, modified the heads, then threw in an extra head plus a defeat switch.
In doing so, he created a DIY sound-on-sound recording device that could nullify the erase function of tape recorders.
However, there were some flaws in the design. Each additional pass on the tape introduced more noise and distortion. Plus, there was the looming risk of ruining the entire recording with one awkward pass. Les Paul was consumed by the prospect of aligning the tape heads to self-sync. After a failed pitch to Westrex, he set a meeting with the top brass at Ampex. Ampex promised to turn his pipe dream into a prototype.
