ABSTRACT
Successive editions of this book have quite naturally seen the emphasis placed more and more on digital topics and away from analog. Yet even the gramophone record has survived for rather more years than many would have predicted, and the analog open reel tape recorder, particularly in multitrack form in rock recording studios where some engineers and artists value its distortion characteristics, still enjoys a signifi cant amount of use. An analog recording chapter continues to be justifi ed in this edition therefore, albeit in a shortened form.
