Multi Track History

So, that’s how Spector gave many hits along with creating an original sound and recording style.

To record this album an EMI console, a 16-track tape machine, a Fairchild limiters, and an EMT plate reverb were used. There were also up to five or six tape machines doing various delays, reverb delays, ect. at one time. Alan remembers “on the mix having to

The development of the phonograph is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight. The first rudimentary machine was for recording and playing back sounds. The way it all started out was using paper strips to make a record of telegraph messages. By attaching a needle to the back of the diaphragm and mounting it above rollers for the paper strips, then putting sound to the into the mouthpiece causes the diaphragm to move. After, this causes the needle to inscribe squiggled indentations into the strips. Last, the indentations would move the attached diaphragm, which should reproduce the original sound.

During the time that when Biggie Smalls was a hustler he thought that was common life for him since he was the youngest black man trying to make a living in the ghetto of his career choice involved certain risks. Later on, he made a trip to North Carolinas for a routine drug he exchanges ended being the soon-to be MC a nine-month stay bars. Once Biggie was released, he decides to borrow a friend tape recorder to lay down some hip-hop track in the basement. When the tapes became passed around and later it was played on local radio station in New York City.

“They were into you, so they made you a tape” is the simple description of, and rationale for, a mixtape according to Cassette From My Ex, a website devoted to these audio artifacts. Mixtapes (distinct from dance mixes) were carefully edited compilations of obscure and familiar songs arranged to express the maker’s interests and tell an aural story, often designed for a particular and/or intimate listener. Göran Hugo Olsson’s mixtape documentary is a chronological, musically structured collage tracing the arc of the Black Power movement from its inception during the civil rights era through its dissolution as drugs began to erode black communities in the Seventies, created with rarely seen footage culled from the archives of Swedish Television.

Beginning at 0:09 in “My Name is”, Eminem uses sample appeared at 2:31 in “I Got the…” as a major rhythm for the whole song. Sampling is one of the most common elements in the hip-hop music. Sampling is the act of using recordings of other music in making new music. In the hip-hop music history, sampling is always a controversial topic legally and musically since sampling relates to the issue of the copyright of the music. Does sampling violate the other musicians’ copyright? Does sampling threaten the innovation of the music? Those questions are the most sensitive debates about sampling. Sampling begins in mid-1970s, when DJs mixed between particular parts of records, especially the breakdowns, to inspire dancers in the party. The technique, such as spinning and scratching the record while it played, can be considered as an early form of sampling in hip-hop music. In the mid-1980s, the primary use of “sampling” as a basis of the beat is a main shift in production. “La Di Da Di” produced by Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh is probably the most sampled song in hip-hop. Sampling has three “layers”, which are the sound, the reference and the intertextuality. The artist may use sampling to refer the older piece’s context or refer to other people’s use of the same sample. There are some famous cases regarding sampling in the hip-hop history. For example, “Pretty Women” produced by 2 Live Crew was sued for using Roy Orbison’s song. As a result, 2 Live Crew won on the basis

As a result of The Beatles being the number one band in the world, they had access to the industries latest recording tools. Perhaps one of the most important recording tools used by the band in recording was automatic double tracking or ADT. This device allowed the band to flawlessly double any given sound. ADT was used mostly on vocals to enhance the sound of the singer. The Beatles also used an innovative tool known as the Dolby noise reduction system (Dolby NRS). This device reduced the build up of noise during the over dubbing process. Dolby NRS is still widely used in the field of music recording. In an effort to find a new sound, The Beatles cracked open an amplifier and put a fan inside. Just as talking into a fan distorts a voice, the band found that it has the same effect on an instrument. Many of the sounds were added onto the tracks randomly which makes the album virtually impossible to rerecord or perform live.

Kool DJ Herc opened the door to the world for many up and comers such as Grandmaster Flash. DJ Grandmaster Flash and his group the Furious Five were hip-hop, greatest innovators, transcending the genres’ party music origins to explore the full scope of its lyrical and sonic horizons. Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler, began spinning records as a team growing up in the Bronx. By age 19, while attending technical school courses in electronics during the day, he was also d-jaying on a local disco circuit. Over time he developed a series of groundbreaking techniques including “cutting” (moving between tracks exactly on beat), “back spinning” (manually turning records to repeat brief snippets of sound), and “phasing” (manipulating turntable speeds). In short Grandmaster Flash created the basic vocabulary, which DJ’s continue to follow even today (Brewster and Broughton, 2000).

Jefferson Multi Media Inc. is a production company that provides services to recording artists. The company has two main divisions: the audio division and the video division. The audio division is charged with executing all necessary procedures to finalize the recording process. For example, the company records the artists, adds special effects, develops concepts and designs, and finally promotes artist relations to ensure that artists are satisfied with the services provided by the company. To finalize the audio production process, the company’s audio division produces the final work in a form of audio cassettes, computerized disks, and digital sound tracks, which are transferred

He knew that if you could represent the binary 0 and 1 with dark and light, then a device could be produced that is able to read sounds or any other information without wearing it out and if he could make the binary compact enough he could store a bunch on a small piece of film. Bettelle let him pursue his project and in 1970, after years of work, he succeeded in inventing the first digital-to-optical recording and playback system, the CD. A CD is a simple round piece of plastic about 4/100ths of an inch thick, and 12 centimeters in diameter used for electronic recording, storing, and playback.

In 1983, Run- DMC released “Sucker M.C”, which was a song about the group getting discovered, and how bad it was to be considered a “Sucker M.C”, meaning a bad rapper. “Sucker M.C” was important to hip-hop, for the fact that it separated the then new rappers, from the old. Up until this point, artist were using turntables, and used a technique called scratching to make their beats they would rap to. Run-
