History of Magnetic tape

     The History of Magnetic Audio Tape

This is such an interesting video on the history of the magnetic tape. I did not realize that Nazi Germany was the creators of this technology. They also figured out how to improve the device to remove the background noise. At that point as the Americans often did during the war, they stole the plans and a couple of the magnetic machines and reverse engineered them to construct the American version. These magnetic tape recorders revolutionize the radio and music industry for ever. This was the beginning of tape editing through splicing together sounds and music.
