What is one advantage and one disadvantage of analog recording?

Disadvantage:

Good analogue is expensive

Cheap analogue recording equipment cannot match cheap digital for audio quality(?)

Cheaper analogue tape recorders suffer from distortion, cross-talk, wow and flutter, and high levels of tape noise/hiss (expensive ones too but to a lesser extent)

Tape is expensive and vulnerable to deterioration

Tape is becoming increasingly hard to source

Tape recorders need constant maintenance

Linear format - tape must be wound/rewound to the location of the recording to be heard

Advanced editing of audio, including individual tracks, is difficult if not impossible with tape

High noise floor requires noise reduction systems that degrade hi-frequency sounds

Harder to synchronise

Copying deteriorates sound

The electro acoustic problems with vinyl are vast and there is no way records can reproduce a hi-res studio stereo mix masters (limited bandwidth, poor dynamic range, plenty of distortion)

Advantage:

Once recorded to tape, audio is stored/archived

Analogue 2" 24 track tape is (was?) a world wide standard

Analogue tape has a theoretically better audio bandwidth (this is arguable)

Analogue tape is a tried and tested format

Editing limitations of analogue tape discourage constant tinkering and procrastination

Analogue tape and disc based audio is more difficult for record company executives to mess with!

Analogue tape can be edited with simple splices

There are many classic well loved analogue hardware processors available (EQ, compression etc)

12" vinyl LPs and 45s have nice big sleeves that are a great canvas for artistic expression

Although technically a poor format, folks like the sound of vinyl (not entirely an ergonomic factor!)

Explanation:

one advantage is that its easy to handle not expensive, over sensitive .

one disadvantage is that it can't be saved and transmitted under urgency.

hope i helped :)

answer; i do believe that its(gestation,suction-aspiration or vacuum aspiration;
