Using existing multitrack master tapes — his small studio in fact had no capacity to record session musicians — Tubby would re-tape or ' dub ' the original after passing it through his 12 channel custom built MCI mixing desk, twisting the songs into unexpected configurations which highlighted the heavy rhythms of their bass and drum parts with minute snatches of vocals, horns and Piano / Organ.

As a cost cutting, but in retrospect ill-conceived move in the mid-1970s, ABC Records discarded their multitrack master tapes to save storage space.

Dylan was determined to record the songs live, while producer Don DeVito's inexperience led him to ' stack ' instruments on the multitrack tapes, making it virtually impossible to properly remix any of the songs or to overdub any off-key accompaniments.

However, as multichannel recording became increasingly available, it has become progressively easier to master or remaster more plausible stereo recordings out of the archived multitrack master tapes.

The 2005 retrospective Band box set A Musical History contains several Rock of Ages tracks newly remixed from the multitrack tapes, as well as a previously-unissued performance of the song " Smoke Signal " from the December 28 show.

Until Dick's Picks, the Grateful Dead typically released live albums that were specially recorded on multitrack source tapes, then professionally mixed.

Unadulterated multitrack recordings of the performances used for the album are no longer available ( because they were simply snipped from the multitrack concert tapes whereupon the band overdubbed directly onto them, destroying the originals ) but, for example, the available two-track soundboard recording of the May 10, 1972 show indicates the band had not yet figured out the vocal arrangements for " He's Gone " that would later be overdubbed in the United States.

Crowd tracks were muted on the multitrack mixdown on this recording as with " We're Gonna Groove ".

The development of multitrack recording and new technology such as electric guitars, amplifiers, and better microphones led to a fundamental change in the way recordings were made.

Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing ( also known as sound on sound ), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.

In the mid 20th century, recordings were analog, made on ¼-inch or ½-inch magnetic tape, with multitrack recording reaching 8 tracks in the 1950s, 16 in 1968, and 32 in the 1970s.

In some rare cases, as when an older song is technically " updated ", these stereo ( or mono ) mixes can in turn be recorded ( as if it were a " submix ") onto two ( or one ) tracks of a multitrack recorder, allowing additional sound ( tracks ) to be layered on the remaining tracks.

As the 1960s creativity bloomed along, and with the development of multitrack recording facilities, special mixes of rocksteady and early reggae tunes were given as exclusives to dancehall DJs and selecters.

Enhanced integration with Adobe Premiere Pro allowed editing of multitrack Premiere projects, and users of third-party software were served by the introduction of OMF-and XML-based import / export functions.

Guldberg set up a small studio in downtown Copenhagen where the two musicians began exploring the possibilities that were being opened up by new technologies, such as multitrack tape recorders, synthesizers and drum machines.

Originally, a pair of single-track ( or " mono ") tape recorders were used to produce the effect ; later, multitrack tape machines were used.

" While the tracks recorded in England were made on multitrack recording machines and remixed, the Indian portions were recorded live to two-track stereo.

As a result of continuing successful fund raisers, in 2002 and 2003 KFJC studios were upgraded again, bringing new equipment introducing digital broadcast mixers as well as a 24-track digital portable multitrack recording system.

Later Studer multitrack recorders were built in eight -, 16 -, and 24-track configurations.

There were no multitrack tape machines, so rudimentary multitrack techniques were invented: each length of tape was placed on a separate tape machine and all the machines were started simultaneously and the outputs mixed together.

Tascam's first products were TEAC brand multitrack recorders.

Since most of the material was available on multitrack ( only " Ocean " is included in its original 1969 mix ), engineers were able to clean up and remix the tracks.

Because it has been extremely difficult to carry out DSP operations ( for example performing EQ, balance, panning and other changes in the digital domain ) in a 1-bit environment, and because of the prevalence of studio equipment such as Pro Tools, which is solely PCM-based, the vast majority of SACDs — especially rock and contemporary music which relies on multitrack techniques — are in fact mixed in PCM ( or mixed analog and recorded on PCM recorders ) and then converted to DSD for SACD mastering.

The group and their concert sound engineer Dan Healy then took over production of the album themselves, taking the unusual step of intermixing studio material with multitrack recordings of their concerts.

Before the development of ADT, it was necessary to either record the vocal track twice on two different tracks of a multitrack tape, or to record the vocal first on one tape, then again on a second tape while simultaneously copying the first to the second — a process that could be both tedious and exacting, and might require several takes.

He brought the idea to Ampex to implement, creating the world's first practical tape-based multitrack recording system.

This brought about the " golden age " of large format analog multitrack recorders which would last into the mid 1990s.

LiVES has two main interfaces: the clip editor, which serves as a repository of video and audio material, and the multitrack window, where multiple clips can be positioned on the timeline.

Digital delays can also be perfectly exact, provided the delay time is some multiple of the time between samples, and so can the summing of a multitrack recording, as the sample values are merely added together.

" Instead, in the spring of 1981 he bought a guitar, borrowed a four-track multitrack recorder from a friend in exchange for a case of beer, and spent his spring break week recording the Lungs EP in his living room, handling the guitar, bass, and vocals by himself and programming the Roland TR-606 to provide the drum sound.

The song also provides an example of Queen's trademark style of multitrack harmony vocals for the chorus lines.

Their last full-length album was 1992's You Turn Me On, which represented the band breaking many of their established conventions from earlier albums, most notably on " Godsend ," which runs 9 minutes in length and features blatant use of multitrack recording.

MD Data was also used in the late 1990s in 4-and 8-track multitrack recording decks.

The 3M digital multitrack recorder in development at the time was based on BBC technology.

The new lineup ( Winwood, Capaldi, Wood, Kwaku Baah, Hawkins, Hood ) toured America in early 1972 to promote the LP, and their concert at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 21 February was recorded in multitrack audio and captured on colour videotape with multiple cameras.

Both studios used 8-channel multitrack recorders, which was quite primitive for 1973, but the group quickly learned to make the best use of the technology that was available.

In addition to the visual impact of the image, Cinerama was one of the first processes to use multitrack magnetic sound.

If the song was not available in a multitrack format recording, the job of the remixing artist could be very difficult, or impossible, because once the tracks have been re-recorded together during the mixdown phase, they are inseparable.

Wake was unique in that it was mastered directly onto an audio cassette tape as opposed to the more professional multitrack recording that Lycia would henceforth use.

When mixing a song, its vocal track was routed from the recording head of the multitrack tape, which was before the playback head, and fed to the record head of the second tape recorder.

The new version was remixed from the original multitrack recordings by Harry's son Josh ( executive producer ) and Chapin Foundation board member and archivist Jason Dermer ( producer / engineer ).

The CD also provided access to download the previously unreleased " South Of The Painted Hall ", which was originally set for release on Kleptomania, but the multitrack was incomplete, missing the lead vocal.

Tom Dowd was consulting with Auditronics on an early multitrack console for nearby Stax Records, and Fry ordered the same input modules for his second board.

The purpose for this form of multitrack recording was to make mixing down to a single optical track easier and was not intended to be a recording for stereophonic purposes.

Her biggest hit, " Good Morning, Mister Echo ", was credited to The Jane Turzy Trio because she overdubbed her voice twice to mimic the sound of a vocal trio, similar to the multitrack vocal effects heard earlier on ground-breaking hits by Patti Page and the late Mary Ford.

His later work would be seminal in the popularization of multitrack recording as was Patti Page's contribution to the multiple voice affect that she perfected.

Abbey Road Studios had no multitrack recorders at the time, so a pair of mono machines was used.
