Analog recordingis a category of techniques used for the recording ofanalog signals.This enables later playback of the recordedanalog audio.
Analog audio recording began with mechanical systems such as thephonautographandphonograph.[1]Later, electronic techniques such aswire[2]andtape recording[3]were developed.
Analog recording methods store analog signals directly in or on the media. The signal may be stored as a physical texture on aphonograph record,or a fluctuation in thefield strengthof amagnetic recording.Analog transmission methods use analog signals to distribute audio content.[4]These are in contrast todigital audiowhere an analog signal issampledandquantizedto produce adigital signalwhich is represented, stored and transmitted asdiscrete numbers.[5]
