Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked Tom Moulton came along.

Notables such as Ruddy Redwood, King Tubby, and Lee “Scratch” Perry made stripped-down instrumental mixes of reggae tunes, adding effects like reverb and delay to make things different. Local engineers would mix, rearrange, and rebuild tracks to suit different audiences. Remixing, as we know it today, didn’t begin until the late 60s in Jamaica. It wasn’t until after the war that a bunch of Americans brought it out of Germany and made it commercially viable.įollowing the advent of magnetic tape and its rise in commercial use, multitrack recording was soon developed in tandem with the experimental electroacoustic genre named Musique Concrète, which used tape manipulation to create sound compositions. One fun fact is that the technology was kept secret by the Nazis for a long period of time.

I don’t have the patience and I failed science in high school. I won’t delve in to how magnetic tape works. You likely wouldn’t be reading this if it wasn’t for Fritz Pfleumer, a German-Austrian engineer responsible for inventing magnetic tape, a technology that revolutionized the world of broadcasting, recording and audio.
