The Best Reel To Reel Audio Recordings, Available Now

The Evolution of Audio Recordings

The best reel to reel audio recordings brought stereo to the public’s attention in the late 1950’s. The road to reel to reel importance began in the end 1940’s as tape replaced the groove-in-a-master technology. By the late 50’s magnetic reel to reel audio recordings were the creation process. Mixing sound tracks was the norm. Balancing audio inputs, over dubbing and remastering would become more widely available and broadly used. Duplicating those tracks on tape was the highest fidelity standard. Initially models included both “offet” and “inline” tape heads. Offset accomodated the introduction of stereo’s need for channel separation and Inline to help production costs. Two distinct tracks recorded the new stereo mix as perfectly as possible, until magnetic phono cartridge technology miniaturized adequately, in the second half of the 60’s.
