Invidiosulus Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Actually the 33 1/3 is 72 this year. RCA released the first 33 rpm records in 1931. Due to the depression at the time however people didn't seem to feel like buying into a new format. In 1948 Columbia re-introduced the 33 rpm record format to much greater success. 1948 is also the year that RCA released the 45rpm record format. Extra points if you know who was the first commercial artist to use magnetic tape recordings way back in 1947. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 It wasn't Les Paul was it? I know he invented the multi-track, but I don't know if he goes back that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triode Pete Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Wasn't it Bing Crosby, who was the major investor in Ampex tape machines, who gave us those legendary recordings? I think we stole the tape technology from the Germans after slowly whipping them in WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Yup, Bing Crosby it was. The tape machines he used were based off of the germans magnetophones. I believe a Major John Mullin was the officer who had the magnetophones sent back to the states to be examined. He then demonstrated rebuilt versions based on the german schematics at the institute of radio engineers in 1946 and went on to become the recording engineer for Bing Crosby.

Marvel Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 It's nice to know you are learning something while in school. So how early did they know you could record digitally? The theory was there long before the technology. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 What's digital?? School is alright. Not really that hard though. I must be smart like my old man Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
