Audio Recordings

Audio recording is the process by which sound information is captured onto a storage medium like magnetic tape, optical disc, or solid-state drive (SSD). The captured information, also known as audio, can be used to reproduce the original sound if it is fed through a playback machine and loudspeaker system.
