Additional Information:In 150 years or so of recorded sound there has been a plethora of ingenious ways of recording and storing audio. Each decade brought its own advances in methodology and techniques. Consequently new technologies for recording storage and playback needed to be developed, perfected, marketed and accepted. This module introduces the student to many of the formats that have been used to store and distribute audio and explains the ways modern restoration techniques can transfer store and preserve their often unique content to the very highest standards.
