Hanging Out With Chops
Episode 13 - From Wax Cylinders to AI: The Evolution of Studio Recording
Ever wonder how we got from Edison’s wax cylinders to plugins that can run on your laptop? In this episode of Hanging Out With Chops, we take a wild ride through the history of recording studios—from the first captured sounds, to vinyl, tape, and ADATs, all the way to Pro Tools and the rise of AI in music production.
We’ll dig into how classic effects like reverb, delay, flanger, and chorus were born, why world events shaped the gear we use, and how each era pushed creativity further. It’s a mix of history, humor, and real talk about why knowing the past makes us better in the studio today.
So grab your headphones, settle in, and let’s geek out on the sounds that changed the world.
