Long before we were recording music on computers, ipads etc, music was recorded onto magnetic tape. In 1943 Multi-track tape recording was invented (this is when stereo was introduced). Ross Snyder developed the 8-track tape recorder in 1955. (This was at Ampex). So, thats how we first started recording music.
Here's some more innovations:
- PHONOGRAPH
- MAGNETIC TAPE
-
ELECTRIC GUITAR- The electric part was created in 1931
- SYNTHESIZER- The first synthesizer was invented by Elisha Gray, in 1876. However, the first commercially available synth was by Robert Moog , in 1964
- VOCALS- Microphones really first came about in 1860. The first microphone to transmit a reasonable signal came around 1877.
- HEADPHONES- Nathaniel Baldwin created these around 1910
- MIDI
Yes there are a lot more. Over the years we have seen many changes to music inventions. We are creating music innovations now for the future. In 10, 20 years time how will we be recording music? The same way or completely different? Who knows?
Until next time
