Everything about Analog Recording totally explained

Analog (or analogue) recording is a technique used to store signals of audio or video information for later playback. Analog means copy in greek. Ana is "according to" and logos means "relationship". The first successful demonstration of analog recording for audio was by Thomas Alva Edison. The first analogs of moving pictures were those of the Lumiere Brothers. The analog recording method stores signals as a continual wave in/on the media, rather than the discrete numbers used in digital recording. The wave might be stored as a physical texture on a phonograph record, or a fluctuation in the field strength of a magnetic recording. Acoustical energy(air pressure) is converted into an electrical energy(the audio signal).

Audio

The modern examples of analog audio recording are:

Video

The earliest forms of video recording used analog technology initially. John Logie Baird developed a system in the 1920s for the storage of video signals on conventional phonograph records, which he called Phonovision. In the 1930s, he further developed the Intermediate Film Technique, which provided for an analog method of temporary video storage by using cine film.
