📷 How does analog tape work? 📷
‌
💿 The analog tape consists of a thin plastic base material, and bonded to this base is a coating of ferric oxide powder. The oxide is normally mixed with a binder to attach it to the plastic, and it also includes some sort of dry lubricant to avoid wearing out the recorder.
‌
💿 The basic idea of a tape recorder involves an electromagnet that applies a magnetic flux to the oxide on the tape. The oxide permanently "remembers" the flux it sees, it makes music recording.

❗️Interesting facts about analog music.❗️
‌
🫣 Reel-to-reel tape recorders were found as early as 1928 in N**i Germany with the invention of the Blattnerphone and Magnetophon. But the regime did not share these technologies with other countries.
‌
🫣 The recordings were so superior that Hi**er used the devices to devise faux “live” broadcasts to Germans while he remained safe in a secret location.
‌
🫣 Bing Crosby was the first artist to popularize Reel-To-Reel recordings.
‌
🫣 The beatles used Reel-To-Reel recordings to create their greatest hits.
‌
🫣 In 1983 cassette tapes overtook vinyl in sales.

Evolution of music devices📻

📼 The evolution of music devices starts with Phonograph. The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. Instead of attending a live concert, it was now possible to listen to music at home. The phonograph was posted on the market in 1896.

📼 Then was invented the first transistor radio in 1954. Unlike the phonograph, the transistor radio was smaller and had batteries instead of a power cord. The first transistor radio also allowed users to transport music.

📼 The CD player was first released in 1982. Although it was bigger and less portable than the cassette player, the CD's were easier to transport. The biggest change from the first music players was that the CD player itself provided a more stationary option. It was also an upgrade from the cassette tape player because it produced better quality sound and increased durability. It was possible to pause and play music, and adjust the volume.

📼 The first MP3 player was released in 1998. The MP3 player was a completely different than any other music player before. It was smaller than the CD player and more portable. Headphones can be plugged in, making it more private and quieter.

📼 Nowadays- phones, computers, and other devices for recording and listening to music! 😉

❓How to record analog music❓
‌
It is pretty simple! You just need to have the courage to start! 💿
‌
After check for the basics:
‌
✨ A multitrack tape machine
✨ A mixer that has enough channels for your multitrack plus extra channels for effects and Aux busses.
✨ Microphones: depending on what you are recording you may need one or many.
✨ Cables to connect all of the above.
✨ Outboard effects hardware for compression, EQ and reverb (unless you have these built into your mixer)
‌
And now, let the magic happen! ☀️

Which music recorder to choose? 🎼

In order to be able to choose the most suitable reel to reel recorder for you, you need to take into account 3 main factors:

❗️Price❗️
Prices range from $100 to as high as $20,000. The prices of the cheapest and simplest recorders vary between 200-400 USD. But a professional recorder these days costs about $2,500-$4,000.

❗️How much space are you ready to donate❗️
A reel to reel recorder is not a small MP3 audio player, it takes its place and stands out in the room, so you need to think about how and where you will place it.

❗️And how often are you going to use it❗️
The most important detail to pay attention to is the condition of the playback and recording heads. If you turn on the recorder from time to time and the playback/recording heads are not already worn out - then it will last you a lifetime! :)

Is it possible to convert analog music to digital? ⏳
‌
Yes, it's possible! 💽

The process of digitizing a cassette tape or vinyl is fairly easy in itself. But most tapes and records have worn out over time. To optimize their quality, you might need professional help.
‌
❗️Converting analog audio to a digital format typically requires the use of an analog-to-digital converter, or ADC❗️
‌
This converter samples the wave of the analog data and prepares it for conversion to a digital format. Two main variables must be considered during the sampling.
‌
💿 The first variable is the sampling rate. This refers to the number of samples taken per second. The higher the sampling rate, the more closely the digital file will resemble the original analog audio.
‌
💿 The second variable is sampling precision, which controls how many different gradations will be possible when taking the sample.
