Schu Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/24/digital_audio_history_part_one/ Special Report Digital audio began life with high ideals and worthy engineering feats, with its extended dynamic range came the promise of noise-free recording. This is a story of how it first charmed and then choked the industry it was designed to enhance. It's a long and complicated story, full of challenges and unforeseen consequences. In the first part, I'll explain how some of the strange choices were made by the earliest digital audio engineers. It's 1987, and London Zoo is playing host to a conference called the Digital Information Exchange (DIE) run by HHB – a professional audio hire and sales company. Theoretical papers are being delivered and real products are being demonstrated from the leading lights of the era, the likes of AMS and Fairlight.

Mallette Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Had that very deck. In fact, made the piano recording many have liked here with it. Most reliable and best digital recorder I ever used. Wish I'd kept it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
