Analog Recording




The modern examples of the analog audio recording are:

It was also the first way that television pictures were able to be stored without the need for photographing the reproduced image on a Monitor , developing the film and scanning it on playback.

The analog recording method stored sounds as a continual wave in the media, rather than the discrete numbers used in Digital Recording . The wave was stored as a physical texture on a phonograph record, or a fluxuation in a magnetic field strength in a magnetic tape recording.

One of the drawback of many analog recordings was the poor Fidelity . It is difficult to filter out noise introduced into the recording media. Repeatedly playing a gramaphone record, for example, would introduce wear that made the original recording more difficult to hear over the noise level. Good-quality equipment and careful removal of dust would reduce, but not eliminate, this problem.
