It also gives the option of adding effects such as reverberation, equalisation, flanging and many many more. You can give your corporate presentations and website a dynamic edge with studio-quality audio and voice overs.

The Development of Audio Recording

The first sound recording and reproduction device was the mechanical phonograph cylinder. There had been other machines that could record and produce sound before this, such as the hydropowered organ, but were very limited. The phonograph cylinder was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, which rapidly spread to become a very popular device until 1910. In 1889 the gramophone disc was invented by Emile Berliner, which were easier to manufacture, transport and store.

By the 1920s, audio recording became electronic. This involved the development of microphones, loudspeakers, mixing desks and amplifiers. From the 1950s to the 1980s magnetica tapes and tape recorders replaced all previous technology. But in 1982 audio recording was revolutionised once again by the development of the compact disc and digital sound recording. The CD format was resisted by the record industry because of the ease of reproduction of originals with high quality sound by consumers. Since the 1990s media such as DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and HD DVDs have been developed. Sound files are downloaded from the internet or ripped off hard copy mediums such as CDs as digital files, and played on digital audio players (from phones, MP3 players, I-PODs and so on).
